Huggy Wuggy is hiding out there among the toys of your nightmares as many of us prepare to confront the next chapter, but for now, we have Poppy Strike. Even though the extendable gloves that the original game gives you can be quite handy and effective at fighting back, they're not as effective as firearms. You are in the Counterstrike universe and you're alone with whatever weapons you happen to have. This means that it's just you and the ravenous Poppy looking to tear through you. You'll need to be vigilant if you hope to survive the encounter and make it back to your squad.

About Poppy Strike

There's a trend of mascot-based horror games where everyone is running from toys and cutesy characters that all of a sudden want to kill you. This game has you facing off against Huggy Wuggy who is out there hunting you. Whether you decide to be the hunter or the hunted, you're at a disadvantage in terms of strength. You do have guns and range which will give you a fighting chance as long as you can keep yourself from panicking. You never know when or where Huggy Wuggy is going to appear and that should be enough to keep you on edge.

The goal is to survive the round and to avoid or confront Huggy Wuggy. Your health and ammo will be shown in the bottom left and right corners of the screen respectively. The timer will be displayed at the top and when it runs out, you'll move onto the next round. If Huggy Wuggy gets you, you'll need to try the round again.

The round will start you off with limited and basic weapons but each new round will grant you a new weapon that will be added to your inventory. When you start the round, you'll spawn in a specific part of the map and you'll be free to move around. As you do, Huggy Wuggy can spawn at any time and will start making its way to your location. Despite how much health you have, one hit from Huggy Wuggy will kill you. You can use your weapons to harm Huggy Wuggy who will go limp with hit enough times.

Tips and Tricks

The first thing you should do is find a spot that lets you see all around you. Going to a corner may reduce the number of places Huggy Wuggy can appear, but will leave you trapped if it spawns close by. If you're able to see Huggy Wuggy coming, try to take it out as quickly as possible since that'll remove it from the map.
