How to play Circle Shooter
There is very little to learn before your first run. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Aim |
| Left click | Fire |
| WASD | Move |
| R | Reload |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
