"Rooftop Snipers", made by New Eich Games [1]is a two-player shooting game where the objective is to knock your opponent off the rooftop using various weapons. The game is set on a pixelated rooftop with a background of a city skyline and a sun setting in the distance. The players control their characters using the arrow keys and shoot using the spacebar.
Gameplay Mechanics:
The gameplay mechanics are straightforward, but require skill and strategy to win. The players start on opposite sides of the rooftop and must shoot at each other while avoiding falling off themselves. The game has a physics engine that simulates the characters' movements and the trajectory of the bullets. The characters have limited mobility, so players must be careful not to fall off the edge or get stuck in a corner. The game also features power-ups, such as health packs and gravity modifiers, which add an element of unpredictability and can turn the tide of the game.
Underlying Tones:
The game's pixelated graphics and simple gameplay mechanics belie the underlying tones of the game, which are violence and competition. The game is centered around two characters trying to shoot each other off a rooftop, which can be seen as a metaphor for real-life conflict and aggression. The game also emphasizes the idea of winning at all costs, even if it means resorting to violence.
The game's use of weapons and power-ups reinforces this idea of competition and aggression. The weapons include a pistol, a shotgun, and a sniper rifle, all of which are lethal and can cause significant damage. The power-ups, while adding an element of unpredictability, also emphasize the idea of gaining an advantage over one's opponent.
Overall, "Rooftop Snipers" is a simple but engaging game that highlights the underlying tones of violence and competition. While the game is enjoyable to play, it's important to remember that the game's mechanics and themes are fictional and should not be taken as an endorsement of real-life violence or aggression.
Lore*:
though it is a seemingly small and simple game series, rooftop snipers, and especially rooftop snipers 2 has lots of very in depth lore, and characters that explain many things, such and why they are on this roof, why they exist, and why they are stuck in and eternal loop of murder and death.
Hot Dog Bob
hot dog bob is the source of this death, as he is a multidimensional being, who’s only goal in its eternal life is to cleanse the multiverse of the filth and eternal suffering created solely by the human race. The first step in his plan is to put countless human into an eternal loop of killing each other in the most painful way possible. We are not yet aware of the next step of his plan, but we do know that grandpa Gary was the first person to have been initiated into this eternal violence, and because of this, we know what will happen to the humans, with bullets and other weapons constantly destroying and tearing apart their skin. It also shows that the physical affects of these weapons are not bypassed by the magic of hot dog bob, leading to only the preservation of the person soul. It is not clear whether this is intentional to put the characters into more pain or showing that he is not very powerful.
*though not written by the game developers, the lore in this fandom has been approved by the developers of rooftop snipers.
