Psyonix just released Rocket League Sideswipe to the world, and it promises to bring the spirit of the main game to the small screens. In the mobile version of the hit action game, you\u2019re doing much the same thing; you have to use your rocket car to make goals on a giant soccer field. Here\u2019s a quick hands-on for Rocket League Sideswipe
\nThe gameplay is similar and perfect for mobile
\nInstead of a 3D point of view, you\u2019ll be playing on a 2D field. You\u2019ll zoom left and right across the field to make the goals. While it\u2019s a 2D perspective, the characters and environments are still rendered in 3D.
\nYou use the digital joystick on the left side of the screen to control your car\u2019s direction and accelerate. On the right side of the screen are the boost and jump buttons. Just like with Rocket League proper, you use your car\u2019s momentum to push the ball into the goal.
\nThe boost and jump controls are your greatest weapons in Sideswipe. Pressing the jump button twice will cause you to both double jump and perform a front flip. That front flip is instrumental in whipping the ball into the goal.
\nThe boost function will give you a burst of speed and control your car while it\u2019s in the air. You can even fly straight up using just the boost.
\nThere are a bunch of ways you can customize your car
\nWhen you\u2019re not on the field, you\u2019ll probably be spending a lot of time in the garage. There are several ways you can customize your ride to make it your own. Starting off, you can give each of your cars its own personal name. Also, you can adjust your car\u2019s colors. Using the sliders you will fine-tune the colors and accents.
\nFor added fun, there\u2019s a selection of decals and hats that you can put on your car. The customization doesn\u2019t stop there, as you can change the trail that your car makes when you boost, and you can change the explosion effect when you make a goal.
\nThere are a couple of modes to play
\nRight now, there are just a few different game modes you can play to keep gameplay fresh. Firstly there\u2019s a training mode you can use to practice, and you can use Exhibition mode to play against a team of bots.
\nAs for online play, you have standard 2v2 matches and 1v1 duels. Along with those modes, there is the \u201choops\u201d mode. This mode takes inspiration from basketball and turns the goals into large basketball hoops.
\nYou can earn a bunch of items with the Rocket Pass
\nRocket Leagues has its own season pass system that will grant you some sweet in-game items. As you level up, you\u2019ll earn items like boxes, trails, decals, wheels, hats, and even cars. Right now, since the game is still pretty new, it\u2019s currently in pre-season.
\nUsually, companies charge people to be involved in the season pass events, so you might want to capitalize on the pre-season goodies while they last. I\u2019m not sure when pre-season will be over, nor do I know how much it will cost.
\nSpeaking of cost, there aren\u2019t really any in-app purchases
\nSo far, I haven\u2019t come across any paywalls or in-app purchases in Rocket League Sideswipe. The only currency so far would be the SP coins. You earn these by completing challenges and from the season pass.\u00a0 These coins are used to buy different cars and car customizations.
\nAlso, there\u2019s no energy system to deal with either. This means that you can play as many matches as you want, and you don\u2019t have to wait for your energy to replenish.<\/p>\n

Final thoughts
\nDuring my hands-on, I found that Rocket League Sideswipe does a nice job adapting the original game\u2019s formula for mobile without diluting it. You get a high-octane sports gaming\u00a0experience with a lot of customization options and a handful of game modes. If you want to download it, it\u2019s available for Android and iOS.
