Rocket League Sideswipe: How to Spin and Air Roll
Rocket Leagueis an extremely popular game, but its success isn't that surprising. It combines the world's most popular sport with cars, and its toy-like appearance gives Rocket League plenty of room for crossover events.
But its success doesn't just come from brand names and aesthetics. Rocket League hits the ideal of easy to learn but hard to master, with an intuitive game system that gives players plenty of fine control.

It's no surprise that Rocket League has a free-to-play mobile spinoff. Rocket League Sideswipe seems simpler than its big brother at first, stuck on a 2D plane and lacking Rocket League's 3 vs 3 matches, but this little game hides its own tech, like its version of the iconic air roll.
Rocket League Sideswipe has a simple control scheme. It has a joystick, a jump button, a boost button, and an optional combination boost jump button hidden in the settings.
In order to air roll, the player just needs to double-tap the joystick in a direction, and hold it during the second tap. Once in the air, the car will continuously clockwise spin, and won't stop until the stick is returned to neutral. Even if the player lands, as long as the stick keeps being held, they'll start spinning again the moment they jump.
Rocket League Sideswipe doesn't give the same level of ball control as Rocket League, so the player won't be able to use the air roll to tilt the ball in the same way. Sideswipe's air roll is more for altering air movement and momentum, as well as the pure joy of moving stylishly.
Mastering the air roll is a far cry from mastering the full game. There are plenty of other tools to help add to the player's air mobility.
