Hex Outlaw: Ricochet

Hex Outlaw variant with bouncing bullets. A wide wall blocks direct horizontal shots — fire at 30-degree angles and bounce bullets off the ceiling or floor to hit your opponent. This variant rewards geometric thinking and precise vertical positioning.

Hex Outlaw P1: 6 P2: 4 ROUND 2

Controls

  • Arrow Up / Down or W / S — Move vertically and set aim direction (last pressed determines angle)
  • Space / Shift — Fire (one bullet at a time)

What's Different

  • A wide wall (60% of arena height) replaces the cactus — no straight shots get through
  • Bullets fire at a fixed 30-degree angle, aimed up or down based on your last vertical input
  • Each bullet bounces once off the ceiling or floor, then flies straight
  • Same scoring: first to 10 points, best of 3 rounds

Strategy Tips

  • Predict the bounce — Bullets always bounce at matching angles. Position yourself so the ricochet lands where your opponent tends to stand.
  • Stay mobile vertically — Your last directional input sets your aim. Keep moving up and down to make your shots unpredictable.
  • Hug the edges — Standing near the ceiling or floor gives your bullets a shorter bounce path, making them harder to dodge.
  • Wait for the shot — You can only fire one bullet at a time. Don't waste shots — wait for a clear angle.
