About The Game

Rocket Fist is an arena game with crazy robots in chaotic rocket fist battles. Aim against your frenemies and prove your dexterity by killing each other with rocket propelled fists in this frenetic mix of dodgeball and billiards!
You can hold one Rocket Fist at a time and you only get one shot to throw your punch before having to run, hide and dodge to pick it back up! Just like in dodgeball, but with way more rockets! When you’re running away you can ninja dash around the arena, and if you’re feeling lucky you can try dash-bumping your friends in their faces to steal their rocket!
Easy to learn, hard to master, Rocket Fist’s quick rounds will keep you coming back for more. It’s the perfect game to bring out when your friends are over and in need of some explosive action!

Machine Fist is a gun that alternates between firing a gatling gun, and a single shot exploding rocket punch that is guided by the player's cursor upon reloading.

Notes[editedit source]

• that &^#$# 'pizza' - If the player also has RPG, RPG's rockets are replaced with a rocket fist that can be guided, and Machine Fist's bullets can bounce twice.
• The rocket punch consumes 10 ammo upon firing.
• Like other single shot weapons, firing a rocket fist causes the player to reload the gun immediately after, transforming it.
• In order to reload, the gun must have remaining ammo greater than the size of the magazine. Therefore, once the last of the gun's ammo is loaded in machine gun mode, none of that ammo can be used for rocket punches, even if there is more than 10 ammo remaining.
• Whilst the weapon is in explosive fist mode, dropping it will cause it to visually return to machine gun mode but still fire the rocket. This is fixed upon reloading.

Trivia[editedit source]

• This gun is a reference to a weapon of the same name from Final Fantasy VII along with its user, Barret, and the group of eco-guerilla fighters he founded: 'Avalanche'.
  • The flavor text is a reference to Barret's Subplot with his former friend Dyne who also had a Machine Fist installed.
  • The synergy that &^#$# 'pizza' is a reference to an insult Barret once directed at a city, calling it 'that &^#$# 'pizza', referring to the way that the upper levels of the city were built on enormous circular metal plates suspended above the lower levels of the city.
