Rocket Knight Adventures gameplay
Gameplay is often a side scrolling platform, with linear runs through levels. The player is able to jump, attack with Sparkster’s sword, either directly or by “shooting” energy forward when swung, or charge up their rocket pack and go flying in one of the 8 standard directions, depending of the direction the player presses (if no direction is pressed, Sparkster performs a stationary spinning attack).
Levels are occasionally switched up with alternate styles of gameplay. Some levels are horizontal scrolling shooters, while one level has the player controlling a large machine to duel with Axel Gear.
