Rooftop Snipers is a physics-based two-player shooting game where you must knock your opponent off the edge of a building using simple two-button controls and unpredictable movements.

About Rooftop Snipers

This action-oriented skill game focuses on duels set atop high-rise buildings. Players control pixelated characters with limited movement, relying on timing and physics to outmaneuver their opponent. The goal is straightforward: shoot the other player until they fall off the rooftop. Because the movement is erratic and recoil plays a significant role, every shot requires careful calculation of timing and positioning.

The game is designed for quick, competitive rounds, making it an ideal choice for local multiplayer sessions. Whether playing against the computer or a friend on the same keyboard, the challenge lies in mastering the jump-and-shoot mechanic. The minimalist control scheme hides a surprising amount of depth, as players must balance offensive shots with defensive jumps to stay on solid ground.

How to play

Use your jump key to dodge incoming projectiles and adjust your character's aim. Press the shoot button to fire at your opponent, aiming to push them backward with the force of the impact. The objective is to force the other player off the roof five times to win the match. Success depends on timing your jumps to avoid falling while simultaneously landing hits on your target.

Tips for beginners

  • Time your jumps to avoid being pushed back by the recoil of your own shots.
  • Wait for your character's arm to reach the right angle before firing for a more accurate shot.
  • Use the jump mechanic to reposition yourself if you are getting too close to the edge.
