About Hotline Miami
It is a 2D shooting game where fights are over fast and a single mistake can get you killed.
The enemies in each level call for a plan, so running in blind rarely works. You carry more than one gun and switch between them, and you also have to reload, which means every second of a firefight counts.

The game world has a retro look inspired by the 80s, full of neon colors. A loud soundtrack plays over the firefights.
Key features
- Top-down 2D shooting through levels full of enemies.
- Several guns you can swap between during a fight.

Tips & tricks
- Press R during quiet moments so you do not have to reload in the middle of a firefight.
- Look at where the enemies stand before you open fire, because one mistake can end your attempt.
- Keep your hand near 1, 2 and 3 so you can change weapons without stopping.
