Hide Online
even though this game is based on the hide-and-seek idea, it reminded us of a contra strike but anymore cartoon and light version of it.
Here your task is just true around across the location and tries to catch her friends and kill them as soon as possible, the winner of the game is the one player that stays alive.
The gameplay of the game is bearable, but controlling is quite tricky because there are too many actions that you have to make in order to succeed. You have to look around, you have to move and you have to shoot.
The problem is the button for looking around and for shooting are placed nearby and it can be extremely difficult to switch between them fast in order to kill the goal.
However, the game includes a multiplayer mode, and playing it with your friends or with your one friend can be extremely funny only if you handle the controls.
