About

R-Coil is an old-fashioned multidirectional shooter with a unique single button control scheme. Each time you fire your bullet, it will push you back a little. You'll have to balance shooting and thrusting to maintain control. Once you master it you'll be cruising through the cosmos like a space boss in no time.
