Using the default control scheme, you control your rocket by providing fuel to the left, right or both engines. It sounds simplistic, but it takes much practice to master. You provide power to the engines by pressing down on the left and/or right triggers, both of which are pressure sensitive. If you are uncomfortable with the default layout (deemed by many to be somewhat awkward with a steep learning curve), there are 2 alternative control layouts for you to test out. Definitely play through a set of tracks under each condition to see which suits you best".

There's no shortage of racing games for handhelds, and it takes a lot of special to make one stand out. Rocket Racing's concept is good but not great and doesn't pack the fun factor required to make the game worthwhile. It's a frustrating experience that feels less like a game and more like a test.
For the small price it asks there's a lot of game in the package, but this is the kind of game that even if it had been free few should give it a second glance; it's just not worth the time investment.
Most games have at least one notable aspect of risk versus reward.Action games often tie that directly to the player's ability to quickly strategize and react. The yearning that humans feel to test limits is often known as "pushing the envelope". Rocket Racing is a 2D racing game built around that yearning.
