Repuls.io — Play Free Online

Repuls.io is an online arena shooter that runs in the browser tab. You drop into a match, move around a map, aim with the mouse and try to take down the other players before they take you down. There is no install and no long setup, so you can be in a match within a few seconds of pressing Play.

It is a different kind of session from the rest of this site. Most pages here are about one-more-try jumping, where you are fighting gravity and your own timing. Here the pressure comes from other people and from how well you can aim while you keep moving. If you like the quick restart loop of Doodle Jump but want something more hectic, short rounds of a shooter are a natural next step.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys or WASD and aim with the mouse. The mouse is also what you use to pick options in the menus. On a phone or tablet you tap and swipe instead. A touch screen works, but a mouse is much more precise for aiming, so a laptop or desktop gives you the better experience.

A round is simple. You spawn, find an opponent, and trade shots. When you are knocked out you respawn and go again, so one bad fight does not end your session. Pay attention to the screen as well as to your target: where you are standing matters as much as how well you shoot.

Tips

• Keep moving. A player who stands still while aiming is easy to hit, so strafe left and right as you fire.
• Use the map. Walls and corners give you cover and let you pick when a fight starts.
• Do not chase every kill. If you are hurt, back off, then come back when you are ready.
• Check your mouse sensitivity if you can. Aim that feels too fast is a common reason for missed shots.
