Point Blank
Point blank is a puzzle/light gun shooter that is merciless in its pace. The premise of the game is based around quick fire rounds that tests players' accuracy and reactions.The game is structured in a very random manner with four non-related stages being displayed for players to choose from each time they complete a stage. Stages are comprised of accuracy tests such as having to shoot the apple off the head of a far away character with only one bullet or judgment tests, such as killing only bad guys in a sea of good guys. Other stages involve solving puzzles by shooting out keys on a keyboard to spell words.
