9 itemsAbout the Game
SHOTHOP is a relentless retro inspired first-person shooter where precision platforming meets high-velocity combat. Use your shotgun to blast enemies and propel yourself through the air, chaining explosive jumps to keep your momentum alive.
You’re a portal hopper for a dystopian restoration crew. The defense network just went dead, isolating every sector across the cosmos. Your job? Drop in, find the displaced fuses, and force-reboot the portal junctions manually.
The problem? The heavy-metal maintenance robots have been hijacked. They control the sectors, they don't tire, and they’ve reclassified you as a system error that needs to be purged.
Cleanup. Reboot the grid. Survive the shift.
