About Rooftop Snipers
Rooftop Snipers strips a shootout down to just two buttons. One makes your pixel gunman hop, and the other controls his rifle. Two players can face off side by side on one device, or a solo player can battle a CPU opponent instead. The round goes to whoever knocks the other one off the roof first.
Much of the appeal comes from how wobbly and unpredictable each duel feels. Holding the shoot button lines up your aim and letting go fires, so every shot is a quick judgment call while your rival bounces around. Rounds are short, which makes it easy to call for a rematch right after a loss.
How to play Rooftop Snipers
- Jump button - hop around the rooftop
- Hold the shoot button - line up your aim
- Release the shoot button - fire
Playing Rooftop Snipers on a computer
Rooftop Snipers gives each player just two buttons: one to jump and one to shoot, which you hold to line up your aim and release to fire. The start screen shows which keys each player uses. Click Play now, then PLAY, to reach the rooftops. Two people can share one keyboard, or you can face the CPU alone. Jumping just as your rival lines up a shot often makes them miss.
Playing Rooftop Snipers on a phone or tablet
Touch support for Rooftop Snipers has not been confirmed, so it is listed for computers. It is also at its best with two people sharing one keyboard, each on their own jump and shoot keys, which a laptop handles easily. Set it up on a laptop or Chromebook. Games verified for phones carry the "Desktop and mobile" label.

Tips and tricks
- Hold your ground near the center of the roof so one hit does not send you over the edge.
- Watch your rival's hops and fire as they land, when their position is easiest to predict.
- Jump to dodge shots, but avoid hopping toward the edge.
