Xiao Xiao

Xiao Xiao combines two of the best things ever, stick figures and kung fu into a series of short (but awesome) flash movies and interactive games designed by the infamous Zhu Zhiqiang. I remember seeing his work in one of my early Flash classes in college, shown as an example of just how fluid animation could be using the software. While all of the animated shorts a great, with each one exploring the software and premise a little more (the 7th and 8th shorts are actually a two-parter featuring *gasp* 3-d effects), the interactive games are hit and miss. Xiao Xiao No. 4 is definitely the best of these, as it mixes things up with on-rails shooter gameplay similar to Virtua Cop. A great way to kill a few minutes.
