Recoil Rumble is a physics brawler with one rule: every shot you fire kicks you somewhere new. Blast yourself across the arena, ricochet off walls, and out-maneuver everything trying to shoot you — using nothing but the recoil of your own weapon. HOW IT PLAYS Aim anywhere and fire. The kickback sends you flying the opposite direction, so every shot is both an attack and a dodge. Miscalculate a shot and you'll slam into a wall (or an enemy). Chain shots together and you're suddenly airborne, weaving through incoming fire like it's a dance. It's twitchy, physical, and like nothing else in your library. 95 ARENAS, EACH ONE A NEW PROBLEM No two levels play the same. Tight corridors force precision. Open rooms reward momentum. Later levels throw grenades, mortars, and enemies who've clearly practiced more than you. The difficulty curve is real, and so is the satisfaction when you finally clear the one that's been wrecking you. BUILD YOUR LOADOUT Every gun handles differently. Different recoil, different rhythm, different feel in your hand. Unlock new models and finishes as you climb the arena, from battle-worn steel to finishes that look like nothing else on the range. Your gun isn't just a weapon here... it's how you move, so picking the right one changes how the whole game plays. EARN YOUR WAY Clear levels, claim your daily login gift, or watch a quick ad for bonus Brass — the in-game currency that unlocks new guns and skins. Everything in the armory can be earned through play. Prefer to skip the grind? Optional purchases are there if you want them, never if you don't. FAIR ABOUT ADS A short ad may show up between rounds — that's it. No ads mid-fight, no ads interrupting a shot. Watching a bonus ad for extra Brass is always your choice, never a requirement. Load in, take the shot, and see where it sends you. --- Email: hello@silverstudio.ai Privacy Policy: https://www.silverstudio.ai/apps/recoil-rumble/privacy Terms of Service: https://www.silverstudio.ai/apps/recoil-rumble/terms Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
