Lock and load, I can see undead clowns at the Zombie Carnival

Published by at

Who's scared of Zombies? What about killer clowns at a circus? You might want to avoid Zombie Carnival then. If you'd rather face up to your horrors, this dual stick top down shooter is going to be as good as a session with your therapist... but with better music in the background.

From the directory listing:

  • Non-stop 3D physics with dual stick shooting action. How many waves can you survive?
  • Blast the zombie clowns across the map using a variety of weapons and score multi-kill bonuses!
  • Power up the Carnage Meter for an outrageous killing spree!
  • Incredible art direction: amazing particle effects, soft shadows, ambient occlusion, and a day/night cycle take full advantage of the Windows Phone hardware.
  • Destroy the zombie clown car while it drives around the fairgrounds!
  • Epic, physics-based boss battles.
  • Upload your score to the online leaderboard

As with any game built around a 'dual-stick' control method (one stick to move your character, the other to fire in a chosen direction) it's a very fine balance to achieve. It feels like GlowPuff have just about found the right balance in the game, although the enemy waves are relentless so it's hard to tell if it's the control system being slow or the zombies overwhelming me!

Either way the cartoon graphics are clear, fast, and there's a nice streak of comedy running through the whole game.

As always, your copy can be found via the AAWP App Directory or in the Windows Marketplace.
