About the Game

shoot. kick. dodge. kill. improve. die. repeat.


do you remember when games were relegated to arcades?
where endless hours and rolls of quarters were spent honing reflexes
when everyone was trying to lock in and go on a masterful run
just to earn a coveted spot on the top 10 list

maybe not
but we do

boot & shoot is just that kind of game

built from ancient arcade dna and sequenced with modern innovations
it’s about flow, acrobatics, score
and beating the ever-loving crap out of a bunch of baddies

a simple arena-style shooter with a unique movement mechanic,
satisfying combat,
a frenetic pace,
and a high skill ceiling

packed with an assortment of upgrades to help handle the evolving difficulty

and a leaderboard

your only objective is high score
death is certain

you will
  • face overwhelming odds in a one-vs-many arena shooter
  • upgrade with powerups and perks by killing enemies with style
  • learn to mobilize yourself in a zero gravity environment with only shots and kicks
  • score big points by using their numbers against them to gain multiplier
  • earn standing in the global leaderboards
  • die and try again
