“To see how a gameplay mechanic like rocket jumping has evolved throughout gaming history since the launch of Quake is really cool,” states John Romero, renowned game designer and co-creator of Doom and Quake. “Since its introduction as a means of explosively quick propulsion in the original Quake, so many games have uniquely utilized rocket jumping, the latest being the really fun Tinertia.”

New gamers are welcome to join Candescent’s Early Access VIP team to play and provide feedback on development and gain access to early levels before everyone else.
In Tinertia, gamers play as Weldon, the inauspicious robot who is equipped with a powerful rocket launcher that enables players to propel themselves through a kaleidoscopic series of challenging industrial environments. Weldon is stranded on a planet controlled by the evil ARC that has identified him as a threat and is now prepared to destroy him at any cost. Geared for the streaming generation with easy to pick-up but tough-to-master mechanics, Tinertia challenges gamers to master rocket-jumping. Players will control the momentum, rhythm, and speed of Weldon to launch him over deadly obstacles, outrun robo-bosses, and ultimately escape off the planet.
Tinertia is the collaborative effort from Candescent Games and Section Studios in development for PlayStation 4, on Xbox One and PC. For more information on Candescent Games, Inc., check out the official Website, follow the dev team on Twitter, and “Like” the game on Facebook.
