The game will have an "engaging" story mode, local multiplayer and team play options. You will have the choice to play as 8 characters, each of which have their own "Super Attack". Weapons will include shotgun, homing missiles, boomerangs, teleport-bombs and more.

The stages themselves are destructible, which sounds like it could be pretty fun. Hard to tell from the trailer, but it looks like it's only partial destruction with specific items.

It seems it will only be available on Steam. The plan is to launch it sometimes this "Summer" with no clearer date mentioned to me.

Spoiler, click me
Lyon, France. June 28th 2017 - Mixing platformer and fighting mechanics, Super Rocket Shootout includes charming characters, destructible environments, cool weapons and an awesome jetpack, making this a blast to play alone, or with up-to 4 friends.

Selected by Microsoft Studios as Best Indie Game at Madrid Games Week, Super Rocket Shootout has plenty of content and a combat system that is both accessible and deep, with super agile jetpack-induced movements, combos, super attacks, counters, extra weapons and more!

Inspired by the 1994 arcade classic The Outfoxies, Super Rocket Shootout was developed by Oddly Shaped Pixels, a one-man studio in Lyon France. Greenlight in 2015, yet hotter than a fresh baguette!
