In Carnival Mayhem you are a young boy who is terrified of clowns. Within a nightmare you are placed in a clown filled amusement park to face your worse fear. Every round you start with bare hands (Start with nothing)) and pick up weapons as you go, Also be smart with aiming as almost everything is destructible, making the path for the clowns shorter to get you.
Game contains multiple unlock-able levels, with increased difficulty. You have access to 4 weapons: bare hands, pistol , machine gun (can hold mouse button down to automatic shooting) , and grenade launcher. You unlock weapons and collect ammo from crates dropped by defeated clowns. Almost everything is destructible, and you can make chain reactions i.e. barrel explosion damages enemies as well as other props (including barrels).
Controls: - mouse position - aim - mouse left/right button - attack/fire - arrow keys/WSAD - move - 1 - 4 buttons or click on weapon buttons - select weapon
GAMEPLAY HINTS: - in melee aim directly towards enemy to do damage - enemies attack directly in front of them, you can dodge the hit by going around them - gather more enemies into group and kill them with barrel explosion - save bullets :)
*If your control feels laggy, choose lower quality or screen resolution from the launch menu. Sorry we didn't have time to optimise :)
Out team includes: 1 artist and 1 developer, total development time was around 22 hours. Everything except sounds was made from scratch.
Main theme: Night at the Carnival by Brandon Fiechter.
Software used: Unity 2019.2.6, Blender 2.79, Photoshop.

Overall though, very impressive work!
Also we will fix the UI for next update (if any :))
Thanks for your good words.
It would've been great to be able to switch weapons using the mouse wheel. Also, a proper ending after the third level would've been nice.
Still, it was great fun wreaking some havoc among these clowns, good job overall!
Had a lot of fun "
👉 Things I liked about you guys's submission:
- General vibe is on point (from graphics to small little vfx)! (I dont generally like clowns though lol)
- Game felt really polished (controls and small effects)
- Great music choice!
Levels felt like they took a little too long, I missed an "ending", and I kept using scroll to switch weapons :laughing:
Overall great submission!
