Why is Rocket League's jumping so much fun?

You dont simply throw a game out into the ether and have it magically turn into something fun. In that spirit, Rocket League is a game with bonkers physics, which is crucially not the same as saying it has none. I've always been a fan of real-world physics in games; rather than faking things behind the scenes, I prefer to keep the physics simulation as pure as possible, Hagewood told Gamasutra. So we literally just applied a force to the back of the car, since the car is also a physics object, to create this turbo boost. Rocket Leagues physics are not this planets physics, but they are physics nonetheless.
