Zhu Zhiqiang

Xiao Xiao 9 is part of the Xiao Xiao Flash series. It is a short beat 'em up in the vein of Final Fight, where a black stickman must traverse the animator's desk, beating up purple stickmen along the way. The hero has several attacks available: a regular punch or kick, a flying kick, a throw, and a roundhouse kick which knocks down all nearby enemies but costs a part of the hero's life bar. After making it through several fights, the hero climbs on top of the artist's computer to confront the final boss who has multiple health bars.

Xiao Xiao No. 6 is the sixth installment in the Flash series Xiao Xiao, but only the third game. Like all previous installments, it once again consists of spectacular fight scenes featuring a black stickman.

The initial part of Xiao Xiao No. 6 is a series of more or less non-interactive fight scenes, where the player must simply keep pressing Space to keep the animation going, with no penalty for delaying. In the next scene, the hero's opponent is locked in a jail cell and the player's goal is to click levers at the bottom to activate crushers in order to kill the prisoner; it's not that easy because the prisoner is smart enough to avoid descending crushers. In the final scene, the player must press Space rapidly to fill a power bar before the time limit, so that the protagonist can deal a single powerful, finishing blow to his opponent; in the case of failure the player can immediately try again.

Xiao Xiao No. 4 is the fourth installment in the Flash web series Xiao Xiao, and the second interactive feature. It is a short rail shooter-type game, where the player moves with a gun through the enemy base along a predefined path, quickly shooting all the enemies that pop up before his health is completely depleted. Sometimes the player must also shoot down projectiles launched by the enemies. There are six bullets in the player's magazine and once they run out the gun must be reloaded by pressing Space. There are three difficulty levels available, each granting the player a different number of lives.

Xiao Xiao No. 2 is the second installment in the Xiao Xiao Flash web series, and the first one with interactive elements. The player controls a stickman who must get past a wall, avoid cannon fire, and defeat an opponent in one-on-one combat. In each of the three levels the player's role is to press Space when an oscillating "power bar" is at its fullest. If the player presses Space at the wrong time, a cutscene will play in which the hero is killed (there are two possible death scenes, depending on how close the power bar was to its maximum.) However, pressing Space at the right time instead shows a cutscene where the stickman destroys the obstacle and moves on to the next one. The player can also watch all nine cutscenes in a separate video player, accessible from the main menu.
