Shootoff: Counterattack

Shooting16 playsUpdated: July 27, 2026

"Shootoff: Counterattack" is a browser shooter where the entire experience hinges on manual reloading. Unlike most auto-firing shooters, every manual reload shifts the pace of combat. The forced reload mechanic forces you to count rounds instead of just clicking.

You aim with the mouse, and a click fires at enemies. When the magazine runs dry, you cannot fire until you press the R key. Switching weapons using the number keys lets you adjust your range, but it does not remove the need to watch your ammo. Every turn you decide: finish an enemy with the current barrel or spend precious seconds swapping and reloading. Mistime your actions, and enemies will close the gap.

This is perfect for fans of classic browser shooters who enjoy tight gameplay without story interruptions. You need fast reflexes and the ability to hit keys without looking. Tip: reload immediately after a wave ends, even if you have one bullet left in the magazine.

How to Play

Use your mouse to aim and click to shoot at enemies. Reload with the R key and switch weapons using the number keys.
