Background

Rooftop Snipers, from New Eich Games, became one of the studio's most iconic titles thanks to its brilliantly simple premise: two characters on a rooftop, one shot usually enough to send an opponent flying off the edge, all wrapped in the studio's signature wobbly ragdoll physics. That simplicity — a single powerful weapon and unstable movement — creates constant tension, since a single well-placed shot can end a round almost instantly.

Its local multiplayer format made it a favorite for quick, chaotic head-to-head matches, embodying the same physics-comedy philosophy found across this developer's broader catalog of party games.

How to Play

• Move and aim using the physics-based controls shown in-game (local multiplayer supported).
• Fire your weapon to knock your opponent off the rooftop.
• Manage your own precarious balance while trying to land a hit.
• Win rounds by being the last one standing on the rooftop.

Goal & Purpose

The objective is simple: knock your opponent off the rooftop before they do the same to you, with the wobbly physics making even a single shot feel genuinely tense.

Why Play Rooftop Snipers

Its brilliantly simple, high-tension format makes for endlessly replayable local multiplayer fun. GBK Games also has Rooftop Snipers 2 for more of the same chaotic dueling.
