Pro Shooter — Play Free Online

Pro Shooter is an action and shooting game that runs directly in the browser tab, with nothing to install. You move a character around with the keyboard, aim with the mouse and fire at whatever the game throws at you. The pace is quick and the rounds are short, so it suits a few spare minutes better than a long session.

It sits a little apart from the rest of the Doodle Jump line-up. Doodle Jump is about climbing and timing; here you are moving and aiming instead. What the two share is the arcade feel: you understand the goal in seconds, and when a run ends you can restart straight away and try to do better.

How to play

Use the arrow keys or WASD to move and the mouse to aim and select. The same mouse is used for menu choices, so you never need to hunt for another key. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead; there is no keyboard to set up.

A round comes down to two things at once: keeping your character out of the way and keeping your aim on target. Treat them as separate habits. Move first, then aim while you are in a safe position.

Tips

• Decide on WASD or the arrow keys and stay with it. Switching mid-run costs you more than either layout ever gains you.
• Keep your mouse hand relaxed and make small adjustments to your aim. Big swings usually overshoot and leave you exposed.
• If you play on a trackpad, an external mouse is a clear upgrade for a game built around aiming.
• Use the first attempt to learn what the screen is telling you, then play for a better result.

Similar games on Doodle Jump

If you want the site's usual style, Doodle Jump itself and Helix Jump are the one-input arcade games. Fireboy and Watergirl is a calmer puzzle-platformer with two characters, and Bloons Tower Defense 2 is a strategy game where you place defences. Pro Shooter is the one here that asks for aim.

It works well for short breaks on a laptop or a Chromebook with a mouse, and it is playable by touch when you only have a phone.
