Xiao Xiao No. 4

You control a lone stickman armed with a pistol. The moment-to-moment play is about aiming with your mouse and clicking to fire. Enemies, other armed stick figures, appear from the edges of the screen, and you have to take them down before they shoot you. Your main objective is simply to survive each wave, clearing the screen to progress. You need to manage your ammo, reloading with the spacebar, which adds a small pause in the chaos. The pacing is relentless; the difficulty comes from the increasing number of foes and their quicker shots. It feels like a tense, twitchy test of reflexes where every shot counts.
