Recoil

About Recoil

In Recoil, you control a tiny character who can't walk or jump. The only way to move is by firing weapons—each shot pushes you in the opposite direction. Your goal is to blast through levels filled with nasty pink viruses, but the real challenge is managing that kickback. One wrong shot can send you flying into spikes, which kill you instantly. It's a clever twist on platforming where aiming isn't just about hitting enemies—it's about steering yourself through dangerous rooms.

The game throws in a variety of mechanics to keep things fresh, like switches, moving blocks, and different weapon types. Each level becomes a puzzle where you have to figure out the right angle and timing to survive. Created by Martin Magni and published by Fancade, Recoil is free to play on Poki and works on both desktop and mobile. If you enjoy this, check out their other games like Drive Mad and Speed King.

How to play
