Psyonix also avoided creating a mobile copy of the original Rocket League and took a more elegant route. Sideswipe is a 2D version of Rocket League, where cars can only move left and right, as well as flying up and falling down. The familiar double jumps and spins have also moved to the new Rocket League Sideswipe plane, thanks to which you can significantly enhance your kick on the ball. The basic concept remains the same: the two teams are trying to score the maximum number of goals in the opponents' goal in the allotted time. Matches Rocket League Sideswipe are held in teams of two players, there is also a separate mode for duels 1 on 1. As well as traditional soccer, Rocket League Sideswipe includes Hoops, a curious variation on basketball, where mid-air ball control is the key to success.
Rocket League Sideswipe looks a lot simpler than its big brother. Here is not such a high entrance threshold (but absolute beginners who have never played Rocket League, it is still necessary to get used to the features of the "flight" and physics), a simple management of literally three buttons, and to score beautiful goals literally on the fly you can learn for two or three hours of hard game (in Rocket League this usually takes a beginner months). Each match lasts 2 minutes, so everything is dynamic, and even to lose is not so offensive - there is always a chance that the next time you can get back.
The authors of Rocket League Sideswipe took into account the peculiarities of touch control, but this is often a problem when playing on devices with a small screen. Thumbs, due to the peculiarities of the local camera, at some points can cover an important part of the display with your car. Sometimes Rocket League Sideswipe misreads the light touch that adjusts the direction of the car's flight. However, Sideswipe has full gamepad support - you can greatly improve your performance with this control.
All Rocket League Sideswipe matches now take place exclusively in competitive mode. And here there are questions about the distribution by player level: on the low "bronze", for example, we often found cybercats without five minutes, who blocked any attempt to send the ball towards their goal. And on the "gold" Rocket League Sideswipe and above, you could encounter opponents who barely hit the projectile.
Emotions in Rocket League Sideswipe game can be expressed in the local quick chat of familiar phrases from the older game. So the traditional trolling like "What a save!" after a player fails to hit a harmless shot is still in place. But the toxicity in Rocket League Sideswipe is virtually non-existent - you can only communicate in chat with pre-prepared expressions and emotions, which is undoubtedly a big plus. Rocket League veterans will surely remember instances when a single mistake could cause a teammate to start writing everything he or she thought about their comrade.
