Rooftop Snipers Overview
Rooftop Snipers is the original two-player physics duel that turned a single button per player into one of the most addictive browser fights ever made. Two stickman gunmen face off on the edge of a city rooftop, each holding a bulky pistol that recoils harder than its bullets bite. Your one and only goal: knock your opponent off the roof five times before they do the same to you. Every round is a chaotic mix of timing, baiting, and pure reflex — and every match somehow ends in laughter.
What makes Rooftop Snipers special is how much depth the developer squeezed out of two simple inputs. Jump too early and you eat a slug to the chest. Stand still and the recoil from your own gun shoves you backwards into the void. Crouch-jump at the wrong moment and you slingshot yourself off the building. The ragdoll physics turn every clean hit into a comedy show, with stickmen flopping over neon signs, billboards, and air-conditioning units before plummeting toward the street below.
The original Rooftop Snipers was released in 2015 by New Eich Games and quickly spread through unblocked-game portals, school computer labs, and Twitch couch streams. Its art style is deliberately minimal — flat-color stickmen, chunky guns, hand-drawn skylines — but the silhouettes and physics give every fight a real sense of weight. There are multiple stages, multiple characters, and even cameo fighters lifted from internet culture, all without ever breaking the one-button-per-player formula.
Whether you grew up dueling a friend on the same keyboard during lunch break or you are discovering the rooftop for the first time, this is the place to play Rooftop Snipers free online with no downloads, no installs, and no signups. Just open the page, hand a friend the keyboard, and start launching each other off the roof.
Game Features
True 2-player local multiplayer
Share one keyboard with a friend or sibling. Player 1 uses W and E, Player 2 uses I and O — that is the entire control scheme.
Recoil-driven combat
Your pistol pushes you backwards on every shot. Smart players use recoil to bait, dodge, and even self-launch off the rooftop edge.
Ragdoll physics
Hits do not just damage — they fling. Stickmen flop, bounce, and tumble across rooftops in a way that turns every kill into a highlight.
Multiple stages and fighters
Battle on snowy rooftops, oil rigs, and neon city skylines. Pick from a roster of stickmen and unlockable cameo characters.
Best of five rounds
First to knock the opponent off the roof five times wins the match — short enough to rematch, long enough to build a comeback story.
Plays anywhere
Pure HTML5 — no Flash, no installs, no signups. Works on Chromebook, Mac, PC, and tablet keyboards.
How to Play Rooftop Snipers
- Hand half of the keyboard to a friend — Player 1 sits on the left side (W and E keys), Player 2 sits on the right (I and O keys).
- When the round starts, both stickmen spawn on opposite ends of the roof holding their pistols.
- Tap the jump key to hop — short taps for small hops, well-timed jumps to dodge incoming shots.
- Press the action key to fire your pistol. Aim is locked, but recoil pushes you backward, so timing matters more than aiming.
- Land a clean hit and your opponent will ragdoll. Push them off the edge of the rooftop to score the round.
- First player to score five rooftop knockouts wins the match. Hit Rematch and start again.
Pro Tips
- Use recoil on purpose: a well-timed shot can shove you backward away from a charging opponent.
- Crouch-jump (jump at the apex of a small hop) gets you over the lip of the roof to bait shots.
- When your opponent is mid-air, hold your fire — landed shots send them flying further.
- Edge play is risky but rewarding: standing right at the edge means one knockback wins the round.
- Watch your opponent's gun, not their feet. The animation telegraphs their next shot.
