Rocket Bytes+ is "a 1-bit precision rocket flying reverse platformer". You control a group of rockets that must collect energy and bring it back to their ship ("a bigger rocket") so they can fly it home to the mothership ("an even bigger rocket"). Steering is 360° with the crank, and it "requires quick and precise crank movement". It has 38 built-in levels across the main, Halloween and "plus" campaigns, two story cutscenes, and a built-in level editor that was used to make every level in the game. The store quotes a player calling it "the video game equivalent of tearing your own toenails off... but in like... a good way".
It's by PossiblyAxolotl, released in the Catalog in May 2024 for $3 (also on itch.io). It's in Panic's "Crank Wonders" collection.
