Prison Sniper

Prison Sniper was one of those straightforward Flash games you'd find in the late 2000s. It didn't try to be anything more than a quick, focused browser game. You were just a sniper on a tower, looking down into a prison yard.

You control the crosshair with your mouse. Your job is simple: stop the prisoners from escaping. They run from the buildings toward the outer walls, and you click to shoot them down. The challenge comes from having to identify your targets. Later, guards appear in the yard. Shooting one means you fail the level, so you have to watch for their uniforms and hold your fire. The pacing is tense. Waves of prisoners come faster, and the guards mix into the crowd. It feels like a test of your focus and restraint more than just your aim.
