Rocket League 2D Alpha: A Sneak Peek into the Future of Mobile Gaming

Recently, I had the opportunity to try out the Rocket League Sideswipe alpha, a mobile spin-off of the popular Rocket League game. As a huge fan of the original game, I was excited to see how it would translate to a 2D platform.

My initial impressions were overwhelmingly positive. The gameplay felt smooth and responsive, with no noticeable lag or freezing issues. The net code appears to be solid, allowing for seamless online matches. I was able to jump into a match within a minute, which is impressive considering the small testing region.

The game offers three modes: standard soccer, 1v1 and 2v2 matches, as well as a unique basketball-inspired mode called 'Hoops'. Each mode works flawlessly, and I enjoyed experimenting with different playing styles.

One thing that stood out was the amount of content available in the alpha, despite it being limited to Australia and New Zealand. The game already features a decent selection of playable arenas, vehicles, and customization options.

As I delved deeper into the game, I discovered that one of the players, AlphaKep, is a familiar face in the Rocket League community. A professional player from North America, AlphaKep has achieved significant success in his career, including winning 1st place at the Twitch Rivals - RL Showdown 3: North America tournament.

AlphaKep's experience and expertise are evident in his control settings, which he shares with the Rocket League community. His current controller of preference is the Sony Dualshock 4, and his bind settings can be found in the table below.

While I was excited to see what AlphaKep had to say about the game, I did have some reservations about how evenly matched players are in the alpha. However, this is likely due to the small testing region and may change as more players join the game.

Overall, my experience with Rocket League Sideswipe 2D Alpha was extremely positive. The gameplay is engaging, the graphics are impressive, and the community is already thriving. I'm excited to see how the game will continue to evolve and improve in the future.
