Funny Shooter 2

Most browser shooters aim for grim and military. Funny Shooter 2 goes the other way — the enemies are deliberately ridiculous and the whole thing plays like a cartoon that happens to involve a lot of firepower. Underneath the jokes it is a straightforward shooter with a deep weapon list and enough customization that two players can clear the same fight very differently.

How to play

You clear enemies, bank what the fight pays out, and put it into new guns and upgrades before the next one. The mistake almost everyone makes early is fighting like it's a corridor game: planting your feet, locking onto one target, and letting the rest of the crowd close the gap behind you. Keep circling, and keep the group in front of you.

Tips

• Buy the weapon that matches how you actually play, not the most expensive one — a fast, forgiving gun beats a powerful one you keep missing with.
• Put upgrades into one favorite rather than spreading them across the whole list; a single fully improved gun carries you much further than three half-done ones.
• Fight in open ground where you can retreat in any direction — corners look safe and are the fastest way to get boxed in.

Who it's for

This is a ten-to-twenty-minute game, good for one loud session rather than a long grind, and forgiving enough that you don't need shooter experience to enjoy it. Aim with a mouse; it's built for desktop, not a phone screen. If you want the same wave-defense pressure in a tighter, more old-school package, try The Room, and Parmesan Partisan if you'd rather defend one spot than roam.
