## About Ricochet

Ricochet is a 2000 Valve-developed futuristic action game set in neon-lit void arenas where players master momentum-based movement and combat using bouncing disc weapons. The mechanics center on ricochet-projectiles and spatial-puzzle-combat within arena-platforming environments, with custom-map support enabling varied gameplay scenarios. Local co-op modes support multiplayer sessions designed for short bursts, matching its chill difficulty rating. Reviewers highlight the disc ricochets as creating geometric puzzles and describe the minimalist combat as easy-to-learn-hard-to-master. Players appreciate the classic Valve experimental design and find the void arenas hypnotic. The game is priced at $4.99 USD, runs as Playable on Steam Deck, and holds an 86% positive rating from 2952 Steam reviews.
