Carnival of Terror
This is a quick guide to the game Carnival of Terror. The game that sees you shooting the evil chia clowns (oh yes EVIL clowns, all clowns are evil, I've know this for years *shiver*). 
1. Running out of time is the main reason people seem to give for dying in this game. There are a few things you can do to try and maximize the time given to you. - Firstly, it's important to remember that the red clocks that parachute down every now and then give you extra time if you shoot them. Each clock gives you a potential extra 30 seconds of time. - However, when you shoot the clocks is very important. If you have used less than half your time in the game (you can tell if you have by looking at the clock in the bottom right hand corner of the game window) wait until the very last minute to shoot the clock, until it starts to disappear behind a building or is about to hit the floor. The reason for this is if you shoot the clock as soon as you see it you waste the extra time you could gain. - If you have used more than half your time, shoot the clock immediately because you will not waste any time 2. It's better to shoot all the other supplies (ammo and the health crosses) as soon as you see them. - This is to speed up the amount of supplies you get. You won't get a new supply unless the old one has been shot, or hit the ground. So by shooting them (even if you don't need them) you're speeding up the rate at which they will fall. 3. Shoot all custard pies as soon as you see them. Since upgrading my computer, this game runs as lot faster than it used to. Where I could leave shooting the pies for maybe half a second whilst I finished, say, shooting a supply, I can't do that now. How quickly you need to shoot them will depend on how fast the game plays on your computer, and you're best to judge it for yourself. - Remember shoot all the pies! Otherwise they will explode and you'll lose one health point. 4. To kill the clowns in one shoot you need to aim in two different places depending on whether they are falling from the sky or running along the ground. - Ground enemies should be shot where the gap where the head and body join to explode them with one shot. - Enemies falling from the sky should be shot anywhere on the lower half of their body. 5. If you shoot the legs off a clown, be sure to completely destroy it otherwise it will explode and lose you one of your health points. 6. If you are running low on ammo, don't shoot at the clowns, instead save what ammo you have left to shoot at the custard pies (to protect your health) until you are able to get some more ammo. It's not worth running out of ammo and dying, because you weren't patient enough to wait for your next ammo supply. The only time you shouldn't do this is if you are also running low on time (if the clock is beeping at you!) 7. Official Cheat Code - If you're running out of time type 'custard' and it will reset the clock back to the beginning |
