Boring & bad controls
Super Rocket Shootout is a boring platform-shooter made worse by terrible controls and clumsy level design. This game does not use the mouse. Yes, that's right, no aiming.

Super Rocket Shootout is a boring platform-shooter made worse by terrible controls and clumsy level design. This game does not use the mouse. Yes, that's right, no aiming. Every character has the same weapon and same shield, the only real difference is their special skill. In comparison, Awesomenauts has a ton of different characters with different abilities that can be built in different ways during the game + mouse aiming + it's free instead of €10.
EDIT: I forgot to mention the controls. The menus don't respond to normal controls (Enter, Escape), they use the in-game controls... which it doesn't show. It just says "press A", meaning the A on controllers. You also can't rebind a single key, you have to re-bind every single one to change one key. And if you press Escape to return to the game it resets them. That's a pretty impressive degree of incompetence.
