Preparing player…How to Play Rooftop Shooters
Player 1 presses W to jump and E to shoot; Player 2 presses O to jump and P to shoot. The recoil from each shot shoves your character, so aim, fire, and use the kickback to dodge. Knock your opponent off the rooftop to win the round, and keep winning to unlock new character skins.
About Rooftop Shooters
Rooftop Shooters strips the duel down to two stick-figure gunmen wobbling on a concrete rooftop, a chain-link fence and a hazy city skyline behind them. The catch is the ragdoll physics: every shot kicks your shooter backward, so a clean hit can send your rival tumbling off the edge while a missed one nudges you toward your own. It is fast 2D shooter action across three modes, where the player who keeps their footing wins the round.

Tips & Strategy for Rooftop Shooters
Respect the recoil first: every bullet pushes you backward, so never fire blindly when you are standing near your own edge. Use jumps to break your opponent's aim line, since a shooter mid-air is much harder to hit cleanly. Time your shot for the instant the rival lands from a jump, when they are stationary and exposed. In two-player matches, fire in short bursts rather than mashing, so the kickback doesn't carry you off the platform. And remember that a glancing hit can still tip a wobbling opponent over the edge, so pressure them toward the side.
What Makes Rooftop Shooters Fun
The whole game lives on its physics. Because the gun's recoil moves both bullet and shooter, every round becomes a tug-of-war of positioning instead of pure aim, and that makes the laughs and upsets constant. Three modes keep it fresh: jump into online multiplayer to face strangers, sit a friend next to you for local two-player on one keyboard, or run solo practice to learn the rooftop. Winning rounds unlocks new character skins, giving you a reason to keep climbing. Matches are short, so a single sitting can stack up dozens of comebacks.
