Knuckle Jet launches with momentum-driven platforming and local co-op

Knuckle Jet launched on Steam on September 15, 2026. Developed and published by Rain Games, the studio behind Teslagrad, it centers its action on fast movement, precise impacts and keeping a chain of attacks flowing.

Keep moving, keep experimenting

The developer describes standalone levels filled with mechanical enemies, hidden collectibles and opportunities to improve a run. Equipment can be collected and upgraded, with combinations changing how the character plays rather than serving only as decoration.

The game also supports local cooperative play through the story. That is worth distinguishing from a promise of a dedicated online matchmaking mode: the listing specifically describes playing together locally, and separately lists Steam Remote Play Together support.

The Next Quest take

This looks like a useful change of pace for players who want their next game to revolve around movement rather than a long list of quests. The interesting test is whether replaying a level feels like practice you enjoy.

The Steam listing includes a demo, making it possible to judge that feeling before committing. Try the controls, see whether the momentum clicks, and decide from there. This launch briefing summarizes the developer's description; it does not claim a completed playthrough or assign a review score.
