"I've been getting pretty good at Dockit Rocket; it really helped once I figured out my playing style and bought the right rocket for my style. Also, when I approached the game more as an actual arcade game, which requires effort and concentration, I started to really enjoy it." - Davy "This is a stunningly polished, beautiful colored and well presented homage to old arcade times.
