This game is a really impressive (and difficult!) platformer. It's a beautiful, refreshing take on the genre and it's pretty addictive, even when you die about 100x in a row while people watch your suffering on twitch. Can't wait for the rest of the worlds!

I've been looking forward to this game since the first day it was put up on Steam Greenlight. In my opinion, I really love this game. Very fun game, I love the rocket jumping, and I think it has a lot of potential. 10/10 gr8 game
This is a wonderful game if you like, rockets, and explosions, and a challenge, and speed running! Rocket jumping is awesome. Controls are easy. levels are good looking. Update 327 hours later: Still playing Tinerita. As of right now 62/66 #1 high scores for SpeedRuns. Haven't even started trying to match all the rocket pars. Haven't tried beating BOSS RUSH mode yet. Haven't completed all the SpeedRun modes. Still so much more to do. Still an amazing game full of Rockets, and explosions, and challenges, and speed running, and lasers, and mecha dragons, and robots, and ROCKETS!
Okay, I'm gonna start off by saying two things; 1) This is only game I've (semi)actively followed since it started in Greenlight because I believed it had potential 2) This game is a bitch Tinertia is, in essence, a pretty little indie platformer, with 2 major attributes. You cannot jump, only rocket-jump; and it is incredibly hard. (Okay, not INCREDIBLY hard, but it is certainly difficult, and as much as you may rage in several levels, the feeling when you finally beat it is awesome.) Even in the earliest public release, for $15 you certainly get your money's worth even if you aren't the biggest fan of platformers. TL;DR: Tinertia is awesome, buy it
Wow, this game is fantastic! I played the VR version for a straight hour before I had to get off and review it on Steam. Many VR players are looking for polished content and Tinertia delivers. It is like a mix of Rayman Origins and Super Meat Boy. It is incredibly fast paced and the artstyle looks amazing in VR. It has a great soundtrack and the game has a great atmosphere all around. This game isn't a push over and the difficulty ramps up nicely. I didn't notice any slowdown or issues in VR. This is an incredibly polished experience and I highly recommend the game! If you enjoy traditional platformers, then this is a must buy for VR!
This is a platformer game fully based on the concept of rocket jumping to move upwards, avoid obstacles and hazards. No jump button, instead you shoot rockets close to the main character to acquire speed: that can be for jumping (aim right below the main character, towards the floor) or to move the main character (fast) towards any other direction. Weldon, the main character, preserves momentum as long as it does not touch the ground, which can allow it to reach pretty high speeds. There is also a fair amount of air control (close to Meat Boy levels, I would say), and a small-ranged air dash. The game levels are designed pretty much the same way than Super Meat Boy's: short levels, infinite lives, fast restart. It is also difficult. Although this is a very niche game and there are not many players (which is a shame considering how good the game is), the competitive side of the game is good: automatic replays, leaderboards (*clean* leaderboards), speedrun and boss rush modes. The game...
Tinertia is a Quake meets Super Meat Boy 2.5D precision platformer with short levels in which you will die repeatedly and a sky high skill ceiling. Almost everything about it is fantastic from the deep movement mechanics to the clever level design, pleasant aesthetics, and music that does a great job of keeping you engrossed as you're replaying the same levels again and again. It's brilliant. This is one of the best games in my sizable Steam library and one of the few that I can actually recommend picking up at full price. Even once you've managed to get through the levels, which past the first world is quite a task in its own right, there's secondary goals to finish within a certain amount of time / rockets used (thankfully both don't have to be done on the same run) which add a great deal of replayability, and you can compete against other players' best runs with both friend and global leaderboards. The variety of gimmicks is great too, you aren't just running through the same desig...
One of the best platformers I have played in a very long time. Incredibly addictive. This game may be the the one that finally gets me into speedrunning.
Tinertia is an incredibly fun and challenging platformer with no jump button. The rocket jump controls are easy to pick up, but tricky to master. Once you get the hang of the controls, there is nothing more satisfying the doing a "Speed-Run" and beating all your friends best times. Check out Twitch & YouTube for some great gameplay videos. Definitely a fun game with excellent graphics. Absolutely worth the money! I got to watch some great footage of Tinertia at PAX East at the Twitch booth. This game is an absolute must-have if you love challenging platformers like Super Meat Boy.
Tinertia is a real blast to play. The lack of a jump button makes it a unique and fluid experience. It might be a little difficult at first, but mastering the controls is satisfying. Cool bosses, too. See other game recommendations at my personal curator. https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36569838
