Skyscrap is a free 2D jetpack shooter you play from a link, on your phone or your laptop.
One paragraph
Skyscrap is a free 2D jetpack shooter that runs in any modern browser. Strap on rocket boots, grab one of six guns and fight across five hand-built arenas, from a savanna outpost at dusk to rain-soaked neon rooftops. There's nothing to download and no account to make, and every weapon is the same for everyone: no pay-to-win, ever.

Skyscrap is a free 2D jetpack shooter that runs in any modern browser. Strap on rocket boots, grab one of six guns and fight across five hand-built arenas, from a savanna outpost at dusk to rain-soaked neon rooftops. There's nothing to download and no account to make, and every weapon is the same for everyone: no pay-to-win, ever.
Matches are short, loud and vertical. Rocket boots run on a real fuel tank, grenades bounce, melee shoves enemies back, and fallen fighters drop guns you can grab. Bots fill every seat, from a forgiving Recruit level for first matches to sharp, strafing Hard bots, and they only see and hear what a player would.
Everything is built to run on budget phones as well as desktops: the art is drawn in code in a cel-shaded style, sound is synthesized on the device, and the whole game is about 490 KB compressed. Online multiplayer is in development, starting with servers in Johannesburg for players in Kenya and Nigeria.
