About Rocket Soccer Derby

Rocket Soccer Derby is car soccer again: boost, jump, giant ball. Closer to a derby than a 5v5.

How To Play Rocket Soccer Derby

Hit the middle of the ball

A cheek hit dribbles to them.

One car challenges

Two cars in the corner is an open net.

Clear the side

A panic clear through your six is an own goal.

Gameplay Experience

Small sided

You see the ball the whole time. There is nowhere to hide a bad touch.

Goals are cheap if you rush

A flip that misses is a spectator seat.

Rematches are the mode

These games are built to play again immediately.

Gameplay Mechanics

Move / kick / jump

If a header exists, it is a jump. If a shot exists, it is a kick button.

Keeper

Some games give you one. Do not leave the line to join the pile.

Special

A charged shot is for an open look, not a 40-yard hope.

Tips & Strategies

  • 01

    First touch toward the goal

    A fancy touch into traffic is a turnover.

  • 02

    Shoot when they plant

    Ground shots first. Aerials later.

  • 03

    Stay goal-side on defense

    Chasing the ball past your own man is how you get chipped.

  • 04

    If it is 2v2, one stays

    Both attacking is an empty net.
