Ropeat is a fun top-down shooter in which 2-10 players use their robots’ repeat-mechanic to win: Each player gets copies that repeat exactly what they did a few seconds ago. Plan carefully ahead or just dive into the chaos and win against your friends!
Ropeat
SteamPlay locally or via remote play with 2 to 10 split-screen players and battle it out in this twin-stick shooter. Collect the most coins to win. The twist: In a fixed loop, copies of you appear that repeat exactly what you did. Plan to let them provide suppressive fire and be careful not to shoot your past- or future-self in the back.
Curious? Try our Demo with 1-2 players and up to 2 bot-players!


This explains the name: Repeating Robots! All actions you take are repeated exactly by your copies. They spawn at the same time for all players in time-loops of a fixed duration. You will have an army of your past selves that repeat everything you did. This makes things tricky: If you forget what you did, your copies can end up shooting you in the back. But your past selves can also shoot your future enemies. So be clever and use them to your advantage!
Lay down suppressive fire and then engage your opponent. Your copy will support you by repeating the same spray at where you predicted your opponent to be. All collectibles respawn at the same time as you. Collect a coin and your copy will collect the same coin in a automated chain to increase your score. Shoot a copy of another player and every copy of you will shoot every copy of them in the same way. That is, unless they come back to prevent their supply of copies being lost.
Your copies also serve as your respawn points. When you are destroyed, you change to your oldest copy that is still alive. You then rewrite your history do from that point onward. If all your copies are destroyed you have to respawn at your base, so take care to protect them. One way to do this is by using the shield powerup.

Ropeat has numerous attack, defense and meele powerups. Gain the upper hand by using rockets and shields to improve your map control. Your followers do the same - unless someone steals the powerup first and alters the past or uses their minigun to shoot down your rocket.

We offer two game modes: one balanced for casual fun and the other for deeper strategic thinking.

You can play with 2 to 10 players locally. The maps scale dynamically to match the number of players.
We are a four person hobbyist team consisting of a creative musician and three developers with an average of eight years experience in coding games.
We plan to add more maps, more powerups (we already added 5 more), teams (try this now on the lanes map), bots (done), and other fun things! What do you think we should add? Feel free to reach out or write a review.
