Rocket League Sideswipe Reviews

So I’m getting in a game right thinking that I’m going to win because I’m about to be gold 3 and I was trying to get plat right. So the game started ok because he scored right but I scored so I was like right I got this I’m going to win. I was pumping myself boosting my confidence you know so he scores again but the way he scores was crazy and he scores two crazy goals that made me so freaking mad I wanted to delete the game so basically right he was doing an air dribble he goes to the ceiling pinched the ball of the wall, I’m close to the goal btw I boost up when he pinched it, I stopped the ball and it just rolls In and I’m like bro are you serious right now like come on sideswipe don’t do this to me. So I get the goal back right next play it’s like 15 seconds left of the game we get a 50v50 and the ball just goes straight in my goal I’m like the ball couldn’t just go straight up it had to goal write in my goal and I mad and also he talking about somewhat a save, what a save first of all kid you got lucky and these were gold 2 lobbies btw if you didn’t know. All I’m saying is this game I feel like I am cheating sometimes and I know some people think the same. I 100% some people think this game is trash, he’s cheating. But that’s all I have to say.
Yeah man this is the worst game L rocket league mobile , real rocket league is better

There is minimal skill to this game. It is mostly random luck if you win or lose… 50-50‘s are completely determined at random if you and opponent hit the ball with the exact same car and speed. Verified this with a friend where we chose the same car and just boosted towards the ball. App randomly determined which one of us won the 50-50. The physics engine is atrocious. Lag is so real it’s laughable. Single player goal height is lower than doubles so you can’t get consistent in your play. Saving in hoops is a comedy of errors. You get a Save with the back still scoring. XP rewards make no sense. Score 7 goals and win? 200xp! Loose and don’t score? 350xp! Have Rocket League game linked? We occasionally boost you 500xp… or not. Every opponent spams “What a Save” so the toxicity carries over from the computer. Can’t turn off this globally so have to do it each match. No volume control, so the music blears loudly each time RocketLeagueSideswipe starts. At this point, the only reason it’s staying on my device is so I get the boost in XP on the real rocket league game on my computer which is consistent and appreciated. I’ll play every now and then and check back in to see if the developers have done anything to address these bugs that should have been caught in beta. Until then, 1 star

Balance the game! I’m a gold trying to get to platinum, and all the people I’m facing are diamond players! It’s not fair that high levels can go down and destroy peoples game because they can’t reach a rank without having to be playing for 2 years. Everybody is toxic, and I can’t deal with the game! The worst game I have ever played. No game is as toxic as this, and as skill based as this. All you face are people at levels you would never reach. Only face the rank against their rank! It’s not fair for the silvers to be facing platinums! Please listen to this feedback. Fix everything, like removing quick chat, and adding skill based matchmaking, so you face people your skill level. Not people that have been since the game has been out, against a trash silver player! This makes no sense at all! Why can’t I enjoy a good rated mobile game without quitting every 10 minutes because I go down 2 ranks everyday? This game is completely unfair, and should be reworked almost completely. I’m probably writing all this for nothing, because you do nothing about the text harassment reports, and don’t care of how many kids that get mad everyday at this game. You don’t care to change anything but the item shop every month! Why can’t we have a new item shop that has things change everyday, and every day, not every month!

Played on and off for a while now nothing really changes. After level 20 is the same rings, cars don’t change, just different stickers that you can changed the colors but nothing to exciting. You can’t customize like you should. It gets boring after a while. Prizes get boring and you don’t want to play it anymore. Season are too long, same with item shop. Whoever developed the game should hire new people, this game has a lot of potential. I got over 100K on SP and pretty much got everything, so the question is now what?. Also, your XP progress AND TOTAL POINTS don’t reflect each other, your total score is a lot higher then your XP which don’t make any sense at all. Guess they do it so you don’t rank up faster not to sure on that but again is a bad scoring system, why have two point systems?. Why can’t we changed our profile names at anytime we won’t?. The “quick chat stickers” get boring after a while, I’m sure they did that so everything can be peaceful. Also, I got at least 5 of the same “quick chat stickers” same goes as cars and even though you can sale them and get money is time consuming!!. Need to change that, shouldn’t be allowed to win or get same cars and “quick chat stickers” over and over again. There is a lot more but I’m sure you get the point.

After spending an abundant amount of time with this game, I can honestly say it is absolutely horrible. Matchmaking is slow and problematic. Ive experienced numerous times when RocketLeagueSideswipe just stops looking for a match after repeatedly pressing “play.” Ive also experienced numerous times where RocketLeagueSideswipe starts a game and then suddenly ends as if the match finished on its own. Once matched, you are generally paired with a teammate who only scores goals against you or someone who has no idea what they are doing. There are also times when you can tell your partner has left the match and their car runs on a bot-controlled autopilot. During matches, you’ll frequently experience extreme lag. You’ll line up a shot just for the game to glitch and see the ball already in your goal or on the opposite side of the screen giving the opposing team complete advantage over you. If I had to guess, I would say there is a high chance this game is pay to win. With all these issues compiled, you should be allowed to leave the match without penalty, but unfortunately this isnt an option. Completely aggravating, frustrating, and not worth your time. The ranking system is also aggravating. After playing 30 matches in a row and losing every one of them due to every issue mentioned above, I decided to write this review expressing my displeasure with RocketLeagueSideswipe . Save your time. Save your money.

I've been playing this game since it's preseason and it's been tons of fun. However i find myself getting frustrated and closing RocketLeagueSideswipe more often than i do with other games i enjoy. Not because of losing streaks or toxicity (those are normal in any game) but because of the prolonged laggy freakouts i witness on my screen every few games. It'll appear that I've scored a goal directly off the kickoff but then the ball will bounce out of the enemies goal and glitch into my own goal. I have confidence that it has nothing to do with the quality of connection i have and I'm playing on a newer phone (iPhone 12 pro max). Apart from that the only other MAJOR issue i see is that in duel mode the goal is way too big to consider matches to be skill based. I see a majority of goals happening out of lucky bounces or buggy kickoffs. Also, a huge part of rocket league culture is the fun that lies within the unlockable items for your cars and as of right now the choices seem very slim but i guess that's just because the game is in its early stages. I just don't think it could've been that difficult to copy and paste a lot of the items from the original rocket league. I really hope psyonics looks into these issues because i enjoy their game i just think it is nowhere near living up to its potential.

I’d like to start off by saying I love this game. I’ve sunk a lot of hours into it, but I also hate it. I’d just like to mention some things before you invest the kind of time I have into it. When it comes to ranked in any game mode pretty much you’re going to constantly deal with people throwing matches, and or just leaving before it’s over and you end up losing. It’s the worst at the lower tiers. That being said not only that but you’re going to see the same people over and over so some people can grief you pretty easily. I’m not sure if the community is just that small or if it’s just the times I play, but regardless it’s impossible to avoid. Another thing I’d like to note is people simply giving up because the other team is up by 2 points with 45 seconds left. It makes the game pretty not fun when you’re trying to grind and rank up when you’re constantly losing because people either close the game, just give up, or you’re seeing the same player over and over again. One thing I do like about this game is the competitiveness. It’s really does a good job at keeping you on your toes if you’ve ever played the real rocket league you’ll know what I mean. So moral of the story here this game isn’t all bad but there are definitely some things that make you want to throw your phone at the wall lol. Thankyou for reading

Honestly, what’s the point of a mobile game if everyone is going to play on controller anyways? (Why not just play actual Rocket League then?) I only play when I’m on break at work or bored hanging with friends, and I play without controller. But I can always tell when I’m playing a controller user, the non stop car roll, and spamming of the jump button is a dead giveaway. No matter how hard I play with my fingers moving at rapid speed, I just can’t seem to keep up with a mechanically imputed player. Controllers put the people playing on fingers at a disadvantage. It’s not that fingers are hard to play, it’s that fingers are hard to play against controller players. I honestly believe playing on fingers is actually better, you have way better control of your boost and roll, and flip resets are super easy. I’ve also tried controller, and playing on controller against someone on controller is like fighting for your life… it’s not fun.
So I’m leaving a semi weak rating. It’s a great game, but it’s not fun being crapped on due to mechanical ability versus natural raw input ability. I’m sure someone will get mad, so please admit it the controllers make you mobile gaming life easier straight and simple. Your not bad at fingers you just want an advantage to always win.

So sometimes when I am just playing rocket league i get like these weird spasms and I have one of them recorded. If you would like to see this recording psyonix, then just respond to this and tell me that you do. I feel like this game is really good but I have some ideas for it. I think you should be able to go into a free play with your friends and just mess around becuase the other day, we were both thinking that it could be really fun. Another thing, I think that instead of getting xp when you do season rewards, maybe half of those should give you cars, hats, boosts ect. I also feel like you should be able to demolish people (demo) like in the actual rocket league game. Though when you get demo’d after one second you spawn in your goal. Last but no least, i think there should be different maps by this I mean like that the layout of the mao is the same it is just that the background looks different sometimes. There should also be maps that have weird aspects to them for fun. These should be unranked becuase the map could mess people up sometimes. Thanks for your time Psyonix! -Juan

Edit: I was about to go to champion, and I expected my opponent to be a champ or a diamond like me, but no, I go against a grand champion and I could not win he was also being extremely toxic for no reason. His name was Vydals V2 please do something to fix this

this game is fun but i have a lot of complaints with it. there is no reason that we should have to wait 26 days for a new black market item in the shop on a MOBILE GAME. the shop updates need to be more frequent and have better items. also, the rocket pass needs some changes as well the pro presents need to be buffed. i have literally gotten uncommons out of a pro present so many times it’s ridiculous. also once you’re past level 50 it is very hard to get sp. your only options are to get money from the bronze presents for winning 10 games or weekly challenges. pro presents should garuntee at LEAST a rare or maybe higher and should include at least 500 sp or even more. you need 5000 xp for every pro present you get. say you get around 250 sp per game which is accurate, it will take you 20 games to get one pro present which you’re likely to get an uncommon out of which just makes me want to stop playing the game. i need new rewards and garunteed items to get excited to play this game. also the lag needs to be fixed. one game i will be perfectly fine and then in the next game it will lag straight off the kickoff and i won’t even be in the game i will just be in my own world while my opponent is scoring on my goal and there’s nothing i can do about it. makes me want to stop playing.

Great game, fun to play, minor issues in the game itself but overall well done. The ruin of this game is if you are playing like a normal touch mobile game, you will hit a ceiling. This is because people use controllers to play a mobile game. At a certain point, no matter what you do you cannot keep up with controller players, the mechanics are way faster and easier to do. If you’re good you can beat them here and there, but the margin for error is so small because you make one mistake and they can easily change position and do everything you can faster and easier. The worst is that you can tell most controller people aren’t that good, their decision making isn’t amazing, and they are normal players you should be able to compete with, but with a controller it’s like they are playing a different game. Situations that are impossible to come back from as a touch screen player are possible for controller players. Baffles me that people don’t just stick to regular rocket league with a controller, but no we have to deal with people who can’t treat a mobile game like a mobile game. Once you get to the point where you’re only playing against controller players, you have to be absolutely perfect, and the game loses its taste. I loved this game, but not being able to separate controller vs touch screen players ruins the competitive aspect of it.

This game has great customization for the cars, boosts, etc. the graphics are fun if not perfect. Gameplay itself is easy to get ahold of but still requires skill which makes it fun and challenging. However, hence the disappointment, all of these great factors are completely and entirely ruined by the universe’s worst matchmaking system. And I mean worst, literally worst. Once you have played the game a bit and sort of leveled out on league advancement, the game refuses to give you a competent teammate. So instead you are left trying to fight for your rating alone against two people of equal or better rating than you, and the game decided it is entirely fair for you to receive a teammate that literally does not move the entire match. In lower leagues, this may be a bit less serious, but once you hit gold league and especially platinum it becomes nearly impossible to even have a competitive match, simply because the game will not give out equally matched teams. As a result this is one of the most frustrating games I have ever played. That’s because it should be very very good, and when the game decides to be fair one time out of a hundred, it is good, extremely, but the other 99 times it is the most frustrating experience to have in a game that should be very good, but instead is ruined by the simplest of things and makes it literally nothing more than a center for rage-quitting

This is a great game, and gameplay wise, almost perfect, except for an issue where sometimes the joystick would reset without me letting go, which resulted in an opponent goal once, but it’s pretty rare so I’m not that mad about it. However, there are a bunch of little things offline that I would love to have added. For one, mutators in free play! I would be ecstatic at the chance to freestyle with unlimited boost to do giant aerials across long field without worry about my boost meter, and experiment with ball size and gravity offline in an empty field. I also more advanced tutorial that can introduce things like the boosted jump button, air rolling and turning your car midair would only benefit the game. Another idea would be to more often reset the shop, as I don’t want to see the same items in shop for a whole week. The thing I would enjoy most, however, is the “equip to team” button in garage so we can equip our items to orange and blue team in game, and prevent having a blue car decked out in orange. (Vice versa too) please take some of these suggestions into account if you are reading this, epic/psyonix.

So I play this game everyday, and more and more I play it the more I find a few dislike-able things about it. First thing, the lag. It gets a bit out of control to the point where I’d have to close out the game and get back in it. (Mind you I live in a place with decent internet.) the second thing about this game that made my 5 star go to 3, is the matchmaking ban. If you go inactive to many times they’ll start banning you for a long time, which I feel is going to extreme. I could be playing the game and have to go somewhere, or clean up, so I leave and when I come back I see I’m banned for 20 minutes. I feel that there should be a option if I wanna leave the game or not, and it automatically puts someone else in your spot if you do leave. I don’t know, the matchmaking ban just seems so unnecessary and extreme, I mean your stopping players from playing your game because they went inactive. Especially if I’m in a game with a teammate I don’t click with and wanna leave, but they don’t wanna forfeit I get match making banned for leaving. I feel that it’s dumb. If the devs do see this review I hope you can shorten the time or get rid of it all together? This game is fun but it’s not that important to me that I’d wait 20 minutes+ to play it.

This is one of my all time favorite mobile games, it’s free it has a lot of content and it’s enjoyable. However I have a few problems with it. Firstly and most importantly is that it kills battery. I play this game exclusively while charging my phone, otherwise I’d give it 20 minutes before it dies. If I play this game for more than 10 minutes my phone starts to heat up. I have a relatively new XR so I wouldn’t expect this, and I’m concerned it’s damaging my battery. Playing this game while charges will make the battery stay at around the same percent as long as I play it, my battery doesn’t recharge while playing. I love that the game is controller compatible, but I have times where the game will think I’m holding down a button and I won’t be touching it. I will use my boost, and after I let go I will keep boosting until I push the button again. I know this is not a controller problem as I use this controller with everything and never have problems with any other games. Additionally, the game does not let you menu with controller, which is a small quality of life change id love to see. This game is super fun and I would definitely recommend it, but overheating is a serious concern and I would love to see the controller issues fixed.

There are many things good with this game and I really enjoy the thought of mobile rocket league. There are things to fix and a bug that almost cost me the game. Let’s start with the fact that the graphics are a huge downgrade from rocket league. Not just the fact that it is 2D I mean that the menu and ranks could look way better than what they do. There is another thing where I have two bubbles. What do I use the duplicate for? Now the almost game costing bug. This is in hoops. Picture this, less than 10 seconds on the clock. Time ticking down and with five seconds I score! Or at least I should have. The basket did not count count with five seconds on the clock sending this game to OT. There was no reason it shouldn’t have not given a goal. Now into OT. I am mad that we did not win. One save and one goal later I won the game for the team. However, One save later was still big because if that was not saved, we would have wrongfully lost. I would recommend but please fix that one bug and try to update those squares to become something different in design and not just a one colored square with text that is actually a button.

This is a great game- not much else to be said. However, I have two problems… One is that my phone just gets way too hot. No need to elaborate there. Two is that the item shop feels so limited. There’s no reason why any item should be up for 25 days. That’s literally crazy. We’re just SP hoarders at this point. What’s the point in even having currency if you can only choose between like 5 items every 2 weeks? No disrespect but seriously. I think you guys should make it kind of like Clash Royale where new items come up every 24 hours so that way we can all have cool cars haha. OR you could also just put all of the items out on display for us and make it kind of like actual rocket league, and each item certain price tag so that way it’s completely up to us.

These are just ideas but I’m sure everyone would like to have some more variety for their cars and also have more banners/emotes too. All around it would just feel like a more complete game.

Please listen developers cause I know a lot of people feel the same way!

Sideswipe is a great 2D implementation of Rocket League, but there are some big flaws with the current implementation of touch control!
1: It is practically impossible to do flip reset chains with only thumbs because your right thumb must can only be in so many places at once. I’m required to use three fingers to play, which is very uncomfortable. A good solution may be allowing you to decide which side of the screen acts as a half flip button. That way, the right thumb isn’t stuck with so many controls.
2: The iPhone screen edges interfere with gameplay. It’s really easy to swipe down the notification panel given that I have to use my index finger in addition to my thumbs to play. There’s also the issue of the accidental swiping out of the game from the bottom, which I hope could be fixed with some kind of lock mechanism.
Side note: The lag can be really bad sometimes and cause the car and/or ball to appear like it’s teleporting around the field. There should be a flag where if there is significant packet loss, the game is paused briefly with a countdown to resume or a goal is not counted. I typically play on incredibly strong wifi with ~13ms ping and over 1gb/s speeds, so to be having severe connection issues frequently in the first place is pretty shocking. Please improve servers!

I play the game literally everyday, it’s an awesome game, simple yet hard, with practice anyone could become really good, but there are just some problems I’ve encountered, after the new update to the rocket pass it’s much harder to obtain items and boring to level up since there’s nothing new, at level 130 the creates given by leveling up glitched and didn’t let me open any until level 150 which took a while but then I was able to open 20 boxes all at once, but it created another issue, the badge border that I was trying to prestige glitched and took me back to Gold I was at Onyx XI and now back at Gold I and it won’t go up, kinda lame. A lot of items that I’m missing are only in the leveling up crates, I have all the items on the token crates and daily mystery item, now it’s much harder to obtain colored items or items I’m missing to complete the sets. Awesome game, just wish they would fix these bugs and make it more accessible to obtain items by playing the game, new items would be awesome, maybe tournaments by ranks, trade items with other players, they should make the tokens accesible to buy with real money so at least they get revenue to keep updating and making the game better. I will still play the game but it’s slowly losing popularity because new seasons just don’t bring any excitement to the game, just give you a title for the rank you reached and maybe a banner but that’s it, should bring new items PLEASE!

This game does a very good job of recreating rocket league in a 2 dimensional plane and they even put in new machanics! My only problem is that sometimes if you go back and forth for too long too fast then your car goes backwards or forwards forever, but that’s easily fixable by just not spamming the buttons lol. I also dislike that the “reactions” or “stickers” don’t really do a good job of informing certain people who are playing certain things. Like warning only your teammate that your going for the ball, or faking or telling them to pass the ball. Having a quick and easy way of telling your teammates and opponents certain things without talking on discord and destroying your batteries would be very difficult to do but I feel like it would be well worth it. That’s about it, I suggest you play the game even if you hated the PC or console versions, it’s different from those versions that makes it much more fun and brings more opportunities for the rocket league game and idea as a whole. Have fun everyone!

Wow my review didn’t stay. I wrote so much. Like to help. Man

Well I’m deleting RocketLeagueSideswipe based on my previous comment which was that unfortunately while I feel the game is the best phone game by a long shot it’s still a fair bits away from competitive as the 2 min is too long and stopping the clock after a shot makes the game last forever. I don’t wanna “win” and then have to spend a min thirty defending or scoring more extending the time even longer. A min would way suffice and make it a lot more competitive and more on the cusp of a “phone” game rather than a game you play on your phone as it feels (which is cool) but I’m on my phone if I wanted that I’d go on my computer but a beat of both worlds could potentially be just lowering the time length of each game or taking away that clock stoppage. Thanks.

Deleting the game tho, I got basically to gold in a few days of never playing and while I can completely see the potential, like I said there’s just a few things this game lacks that are small and if implemented would extremely boost my want to and continue to play.

I started playing the game a couple of months ago and I’ve been enjoying ever since. The game concept is great. I would’ve never thought of taking normal Rocket League to a 2d version. Overall the game is great but I have noticed some problems with the game while playing it. First issue is that you can’t scrap cars. I’m an octane main and I have all of these other cars that I never use. It would be great If there was a way to scrap cars. Another issue I found was that when loading into the game it will periodically kick me out of the game completely. It isn’t a major inconvenience but it would make the game more polished if you guys did something about this bug. Overall it is a great game that I plan on playing for as long as I can. Thank you for your time. REVISION: I have also noticed another bug. I made my octane white for both teams and sometimes when I load the game it completely erases my car colors and boost choice and all the the other items I have equipped. If you could please look into this I would be very thankful.

I started playing the game the first few days it came out. And man what a refreshment it is, I started to play this more than actual RL itself. But I have a couple of ideas that I think would be great for the game. 1) Training Packs, it would be cool if you added a section in “play” area an you could do custom-made or game made training packs. As a warmup. 2) Actual Tournaments, it would be cool to do tournaments, win titles or items if you win one. Based off your ranking. 3) Mutators, this would be a big step but adding small mutators to private matches like rumble, but you would need a lot of a bigger map for some mutators. 4) Events (like gridiron) adding an event every 2 weeks maybe for a special mode like in real RL 5) Training Add-on, add a button to place the ball on top of you while you may be in mid-air, this would be a big help to practice gold and other shots. 6) This would just be more of a event, where you could demolish and crash into cars on a big map, like the 2v2 map or larger and be able to crash into people, but as a event. 7) Crates, it would be cool to be able to purchase with game coins an import or rare box (with game coins) 8) AR system, this isn’t really a good idea but maybe adding it where you can play the game in AR, most people would need a stand though. 9) a quick menu, it would be cool nice to get to the menu quickly after a match without the timer. This is all my ideas. I might have more in the future, Great game!

It’s an awsome game alright, don’t get me wrong I love this game and play it at school, out of home and every were I go. There’s just some things that I don’t really like about this game.
1. The connections and lag problems aren’t always your friends, heck sometimes it completely logs you of the match only to be reentered by the game a few seconds later. But then again this is a mobile game so no pressure y’all are developing, making and operating a great game.
2. It bothers me that some people are calling themselves good and a pro which in my opinion not bad but to do it on a controller in a mobile game??? The whole reason why this game was created was that so you can play off console. And yet they call themselves good and above everybody and truly they are they can do some stuff that people who actually play the game by finger can’t do. So that really bothers me, I admit I did try out the controller to test it out if it was a me thing but it didn’t work for me so I preferred the regular controls.
So yeah those are the things that bothers me most but over all great game.

Great game, but there are a few things I would like to see in the future. The first being the ability to customize an orange and a blue team car. It's hard to make a load out I like because the skin, wheels, boost, and goal explosion can only match for one team. Secondly, I've noticed you can't scrap multiples of original cars. You can scrap the color variations, but I literally have 2 plain octanes, 2 plain aftershocks, and 2 plain takumis that are just taking up space. Also 1 would love to be able to change the order of my customized cars. I have over 10 cars, and I have to scroll all the way to the end to get to my most recent cars, and again, I can't scrap the multiple plain cars I don't want. Lastly, I dislike that instead of being able to play the extra modes when I want they're seasonal. You can't give us a taste and then take it away completely, with no announcements of bringing it back. Cuz let's be honest. 3v3s can never replace hoops or volleyball. They should all be available year round. Bonus: I was able to figure out how to make the color of the car black.
Shortly after that it was taken away as well, and all my black cars were then red. Really wish I could use white and black in my car as I please.
1 can understand why black/white aren't available for a primary color, but I'm not sure why those colors are not available for a secondary at least. But overall a great game and I will definitely continue playing

Do we as players want the game to be full of bugs, or have ads and no bugs?
This is the question. If we want updates and improvements and bug fixes to the gameplay, the controls, or the new modes we need the game to be profitable to developers. Let’s be ok with ads so that the game can improve.

(Old review entitled, “Touch control fixes.”) In my opinion this game is the best mobile game out there right now, and I am a touch player who has made it to champ 1. 𝐇𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐝𝐝 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 (𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧). This would help fix the biggest problem with the game currently. One more issue is the camera movement. It can be jarring some times when multiple cars are slamming into the ball all at once and the camera kinda jitters. Fixing these two issues would make current the game so much better. Thanks in advance developers :)

This game is good, and much better than good because I don’t have anything that I can play the real rocket league in but, there’s a problem. Whenever I went into the game and tried logging in it never worked so I eventually just played offline, after some offline I decided to try again except I swiped up the page to refresh the game and when trying to login again it looked like it would work. When I tried logging in again through google it just kicked me out of the google login page and I was able to press the other log in options after that but they wouldn’t bring me to their own log in page. When I tried apple login and did what I needed, it once again kicked me out of the log in page, but this time the login options wouldn’t even sense the pressing. When I tried going through the Epic Games login I was able to go through all the steps and verification except after completing the verification, it just kicked me out once again. Other than that the game is really good in my opinion, so keep up the work!

I find this game to be quite amazing!! It is a very easy game to learn and master, as I already hit GC. I think that the devs did a very good job at making this game. As you already know, this game is a real battery killer, and changing the settings don't help, but I'm not going to focus on that. I think that this game is very well done overall, but I have a suggestion. Can we have more customization features? It would be nice to customize my car with different paint finishes like in the other rocket league and use white and black secondary colors. It would also be good if we had an “equip to blue” and “equip to orange” button. I think that using painted decals, like the one that was in the item shop is a good step in the right direction.

EDIT: I just found out a bug. I was in a 2s game, the ball was coming down from the air, and my teammate and my opponents and the ball all came crashing down on my head, and I glitched into the floor. I couldn't come back up. I was stuck there, I could see that my teammate was confused. He got scored on and I was back in the game. This has happened twice now!

If you wanted to play RL on a phone, hey look, now you can. Having clocked hundreds of hours on Rocket League, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that though RL and RL Sideswipe aren’t the same game, they are the same game. Realistically speaking, RL on a mobile device would be god awful to play. They didn’t do that to us. They made us a whole new game. But it’s also the same game. Inexplicable. Incredible. It’s free, it’s fun, and it does drink battery percentage I’ll admit. Anyone who complains about that doesn’t understand programming/coding. These physics calculations take some power, but It’s worth it.

I have an iPhone 12, haven’t had any issues with overheating, controls are clean and responsive (unless I’m losing, then I blame the perfectly functioning controls), and this phone DOES CHARGE while playing. If you’re not gaining battery while charging and playing, it’s not the game as much as the equipment. Pro-Tip: Stop using USB 2/3.0 to charge your phones. Use USB C charge cables, they charge much more quickly and the battery stays charged throughout the day. That’s all for my technical rant. Psyonix for President, 2024.

I love this game but I want to say a few things about some of the players on here. Some of you and you know who you are, you are making this game not so enjoyable for everyone else. By using all your sarcastic emoji’s saying “great pass” or “thanks” and then using an angry face and pointing at the other player and blaming them because you’re losing is ridiculous. It shows what kind of people you must be in the real world. A bunch of ignorant compulsive blamers is what you are. I’m sick of seeing this going on. People are on here trying to learn and on this game accidents do happen. What you need to remember is THIS IS A GAME!!!! It’s supposed to be fun. People play these games so they can forget about idiots like you that are in this world ruining everyone’s day not so they can be blamed and ridiculed even more. So for those of you just starting out, keep practicing and when someone starts doing this to you just start playing against your own team. That seems to shut them up I’ve noticed. Don’t let it discourage you from playing though. There are still a lot of decent people playing. Don’t let this idiots ruin it for you.

I’ve always loved Rocket League ever since my younger brother first showed it to me. But as the years passed after playing it so much, the community has sadly grown more toxic, the items and cosmetics system became too much of a cash cow and didn’t make the game fun anymore. Regardless I still play a match or two or twenty once in a while either with friends or just against bots. When I first heard the official news about a mobile version of Rocket League will be releasing I thought, “Oh great, just another mobile game as an excuse to have micro transactions and take more money from people.” At the same time the idea of being able to play Rocket League whenever I wanted excited me. I almost never play mobile games anymore, but after downloading this I became hooked almost immediately. The controls definitely take some getting used to so tutorials and free play training are recommended, as well as some matches against bots while raising the difficulty levels once you start getting the hang of it. I’ve only had this game for a few days and I’m already in silver rankings on 2v2’s and a tier level that I never thought I would reach in such short a time. I’m so glad that I’m this excited about Rocket League again and I can’t wait to play more!

Rocket League Sideswipe is a fantastic mobile adaptation of the popular Rocket League game. It captures the essence of the original with fast-paced, car-soccer action while making adjustments for a touchscreen experience. The gameplay is simplified into a 2D plane, making it easy to grasp but still challenging enough to keep players engaged.
The controls are smooth and responsive, which is crucial for a game that requires precision. The boost mechanic and aerial maneuvers translate well to mobile, and matches are short (around two minutes), making it perfect for quick sessions. The game has various modes, like 1v1 and 2v2, and offers customization options for cars, which are always a fun incentive for progression.
One of the best things about Sideswipe is its accessibility. You don’t need to be a veteran of the main Rocket League game to enjoy it. That said, longtime players might miss the depth of the 3D gameplay, but Sideswipe does a great job of keeping things entertaining in a more streamlined fashion.
The only downside could be the occasional matchmaking delay, but overall, Rocket League Sideswipe nails the mobile experience for competitive, skill-based gaming.
