About ReCoil
ReCoil is a 2D Top-Down Shooter with a unique twist to it's genre.
Your armour is too heavy for you to manage, but you need it to survive. You will have to use the recoil of your weaponry to navigate each level.
Recoil:
The recoil acts as a double edge sword. It allows the player to have complete control in movement. However, when using your arsenal, it may become challenging to balance the need of ammunition for facing enemies, and escaping dangerous situations. When firing your weapon, your player character will be thrown directly behind him with a great amount of speed and acceleration. But this will use your depleting supply of ammunition, which will be needed to survive. There are also 3 different weapons in ReCoil, each with there own gimmicks and variations of knockback. This allows for even more freedom whilst playing.
Levels:
There will be 12 uniquely designed levels in ReCoil to play. Each level has a timer at the bottom of the screen counting down until the clock reaches 0, allowing progression to the next level. Some levels are not only harder to beat, but also require a larger period of time that the player needs to survive in before accessing the next level.
ReCoil is a short, free game created by Sisyphus.

[quote][b]Warning: Third Party Account[/b] This game requires you to create a third party "Microsoft Playfab" account... there's no valid reason for this in a PC game when SteamWorks is available. This is often done to harvest private data and profile you, with potential sale and transmission of your private data to third parties. The developers will probably argue that you can trust them, but if they were trustworthy they wouldn't demand you create a third party account. This represents a considerable risk to gamers due to the privacy and security implications of developers that wish to bypass Steam and harvest user data. Remember, sometimes if the product is free, YOU are the product.[/quote] [quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There are no available servers and no player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] This Nintendo Switch game is an unabashed ripoff of Rock n Roll Racing (copyright Interplay, 1993) only worse in every respect. It was ported to PC, presumably as a last ditch effort to get someone to play it because nobody on the Switch wanted it. So, OverShoot Battle Race is a dead PvP…4 found this helpful
