About Hotline Miami

Hotline Miami is an exciting 2D top-down shooter. Players are immersed in a vibrant, retro world with fast-paced, intense combat where every mistake can be fatal. Youll encounter a variety of levels with enemies that require a strategic approach, a wide range of weapons, and high stakes where every second counts. It is free to play, with no download, install or sign-up.

How to play

Everything in Hotline Miami serves one purpose — aim, fire and clear each wave of enemies while staying alive. Controls are keyboard-first: WASD to move, and the mouse to aim. Touchscreen players get on-screen buttons instead. Take the first few goes to feel it out, then start pushing for more.

Tips & tricks

Deal with the closest threat first and keep moving — standing still to line up a perfect shot is what usually gets you hit. Feather the keys rather than holding them — small corrections keep you on the line you actually meant to take.
