Rooftop Snipers

Rooftop Snipers: Two-Button Rooftop Duel

Rooftop Snipers is a chaotic physics duel by New Eich Games where two wobbly snipers fight on narrow rooftops. Hit your rival with your rifle to knock them off the roof. It is a local 2-player game on one keyboard, with a 1-player mode against the computer AI, and every match is fast, funny, and decided by timing more than fast fingers.

How to play: goal and who wins

Each round starts with both snipers on opposite sides of a rooftop. Shoot your opponent to push them backward until they fall off. Each fall scores one point for the other player, then a new round starts automatically.

The match is a best-of-rounds duel: the first player to win 5 rounds wins the match. Stay near the center, watch the edge, and remember that one clean hit near the ledge can end the round instantly.

Controls: Player 1 and Player 2 on the same keyboard

Rooftop Snipers uses only two buttons per player. There is no online multiplayer; 2-player means local play side-by-side on the same computer.

To play 2 player, choose 2 Player mode from the menu and share the keyboard. Player 1 sits on the W and E side, Player 2 sits on the I and O side. To play solo, choose 1 Player mode to face the computer AI, which is ideal for learning timing before challenging a friend.

How aiming works: holding the shoot key slowly raises your weapon and changes your aim angle. Release to fire. Do not tap wildly. A short hold gives a more controlled shot, while holding too long leaves you wobbly and open to a counter hit.

Aim, jump-dodge, and recoil tips

• Jump to dodge: Jump just as your opponent fires. Short hops are good for baiting shots, longer jumps move you forward or backward on the roof. Avoid jumping from reflex at the start of every round.
• Bait then punish: Hold your gun to look dangerous, make your rival jump early, then fire when they land and cannot dodge. Watch the enemy gun animation rather than only their feet.
• Shoot mid-air rivals: Hits landed while the opponent is in the air usually push them farther. Catching them at the top of a jump is the best chance for a one-shot fall.
• Respect recoil: Every shot pushes you backward too. Do not fire when your back is almost at the edge. After shooting, jump back toward the center to recover balance.
• Control the center: Standing in the middle gives you room to stumble without falling. Push toward the edge only to finish a weakened, stumbling opponent.
• Practice solo first: Play several 1-player games against the computer to learn hold-release timing, jump rhythm, and recoil distance before a 2-player session.

Maps, weapons, and what changes each round

Rounds do not all play the same. Rooftops change shape and background, from city roofs to snowy and beach-style arenas. Some roofs are narrower, some have raised ledges that block low shots and force higher aim.

Weapons and falling objects also vary. Guides commonly describe rotating rifles plus chaotic extras such as beach balls, tomahawks, and falling characters that can block shots or change positioning. Check the platform shape in the first second of each round: on narrow roofs stay centered, on roofs with high ledges aim a little higher and avoid spamming low shots.

Unblocked at school, Chromebook, and mobile

Rooftop Snipers is a lightweight browser game with simple pixel graphics and keyboard-only input, which is why many players look for it as an unblocked school or Chromebook game for quick breaks. School filtering varies, so availability depends on your local network.

For the best 2-player experience, use a desktop or laptop browser where both players can reach the keyboard at the same time. Mobile browser and app versions use tap to jump and hold-to-shoot buttons. Solo play works well on phones, but for 2 player on one screen a tablet or other wide-screen device is more comfortable than a small phone. Muted sound, short rounds under a minute, and no account needed also make short sessions practical.

Rooftop Snipers vs. Rooftop Snipers 2 and solo vs. AI

Do not confuse this game with its sequel. The original Rooftop Snipers keeps it simple: classic rooftop duels with the W/E versus I/O controls and first-to-5 scoring. Rooftop Snipers 2, also by New Eich Games, keeps the same two-button core but adds more character choice, more rooftop arenas, and a wider rotating weapon pool.

If you want the pure classic duel, play this original. If you want fresh arenas and weapon chaos every round, try the sequel. Both offer 1 Player against the computer and local 2 Player on the same keyboard, with no online matchmaking. New players should start with original solo AI games to master jump-dodge and hold-to-aim timing.
