Poppy Strike 4
There are just more and more reasons to be scared of large mascot characters with so many of them going on murderous rampages like in Poppy Strike 4. This is the fourth time that the Huggy Wuggy creatures have escaped from Poppy Playtime to torment other people in the surrounding areas. You've managed to find yourself in a series of backrooms with discarded equipment and with Huggy Wuggy mascots looking to hunt. At least you've got some weapons to defend yourself, the trick is that the mascots aren't too willing to hold still and you're a pretty squishy target.
About Poppy Strike 4
With the way trends are going, Huggy Wuggy is going to keep popping up in places, some of them likelier than others. This game shows a backroom scenario and Huggy Wuggy may actually be right at home here. The problem is that you're lost and Huggy Wuggy will have trouble finding you in the maze of rooms. You do have to keep moving, but you always need to keep your wits about you or you'll be caught before you know it. Your weapons may provide some sense of security, but that's only if you know how to use them when the time comes.

The goal is to escape the backrooms as quickly as possible. Your health and ammo will be in the bottom left and right corners of the screen. If your health reaches zero, you'll need to retry the level.
When you start, you'll spawn in the middle of a random room. From there, you need to start exploring and looking for the exit. As you do, Huggy Wuggy can randomly appear at some point in the area. He will know your location and start making his way towards you. If you see him, you can open fire and attempt to take him down which will keep you safe… for a time. If you do make it to the exit, you'll complete the level. Each new level will start you with a new weapon added to your equipment.
Tips and Tricks
You'll need to rely on sound to get through the rooms as you never know where Huggy Wuggy will be coming from. It's best to pinpoint him quickly as you won't get many chances to shoot him as he can change to a super fast crawl and kill you with a single strike. He tends to start with a slow walk and that's your best chance to shoot him.
