What is Recoil
Recoil is a clever physics-based action game that turns your weapon into your primary mode of transportation. In this minimalist world, walking is non-existent—you move solely through the powerful kickback generated by your shots. Your objective is straightforward: navigate the character through various platform layouts and eliminate all the pulsating pink virus enemies. The challenge lies in the physics; every time you fire a bullet to destroy an enemy, the recoil pushes you in the exact opposite direction. Mastering the game means learning how to "fly" by aiming your weapon strategically to land on platforms or reach elevated targets. With its responsive controls and clean retro aesthetic, Recoil focuses on the satisfying loop of aiming, shooting, and drifting. It's an addictive test of coordination and spatial logic where every bullet is a tool for movement as much as it is for destruction.

Clean Physics Feedback：Enjoy a high-performance, physics-driven experience where movement feels fluid and intuitive. Every shot provides immediate, predictable kinetic energy to your hero.
Increasing Layout Complexity：progress through levels that demand more creative uses of recoil, featuring varied platform heights and enemy placements that require smart multi-directional shooting.
