Circus Crazy

## Synopsis

Set in the UK; a young orphan boy named Toby Redmond (his last has mysteriously won a special ticket to the upcoming circus known as “Wonder Land Top” that just arrived at his towns fair. But a trip to watch amazing performers takes a dark turn when a circus band called the “Freak Big Top” led by a sinister “Sir. Curse the Clown” takes over the show and holds the audience hostage while also injuring the Ringmistress to make sure she doesn’t interfere with his plans and making poor Toby an unlucky volunteer on taking her place.

Sir. Curse offers a chance for the circus to perform their usual tricks but add a “new spin” and that was fighting their opposing enemy as a way of humiliating them live in front of the audience.

The rule is whatever side is laughed at the most are the losers but if those of Wonder Land Top win he will let everyone go but if his team wins the show will go on.

Will the show go on forever or will the circus get out of town tonight?

## Gameplay

Circus Crazy is a 2D style fighting game that plays like classic Street Fighter, Fatal Fury etc.

With gameplay style like that; it means Circus Crazy is mainly ground based as there is mechanics like wall bounces and launchers but there is little aerial combat.

The moves are done with Light and Heavy Punches and Kicks, there are easy to pull special moves and there are of course super moves that can only be used when a bar is filled up but the super moves comes in two different verities.

One of them is called a “Humerous Performance” and another is called an “Amazing Performance”.

Because in a circus the audience needs to be entertained via either making them laugh or amaze them while in action.

When doing the Humerous Performance it causes the audience in the area to laugh at the opponent and when that happens the opponent will get their stats lowered for being the target of ridicule, such as having lower defence.

When doing an Amazing Performance it causes the audience in the area to cheer which raises the player’s stats from being praised by the crowd.

Although the player can still either make the audience laugh or simply amaze them via doing a combo and ending it with a special move that will trigger an audience reaction. Top combos are sure to make the audience cheer.

However if a character doesn’t do good and keeps missing their target or do anything that make them seem like a complete novice in comparison; the crowd will end up booing the character, lowering their stats.

It’s more than just stats though, depending on how much good the player does

When the audience is amazed or humoured they’ll chuck items down for player to pick up, such as popcorn, pies, cotton candy and other carnival treats to get their health restored.

But if the opponent is unhappy with a certain character while booing them they might chuck stuff such as tomatoes at them which do a bit of damage but the unhappy they are the more stuff they’ll throw.

Lastly all characters of course will have a Level 3 Ultiamte Attack called “Final Performance” which can really score big amazement from the audience if used at the right time.

Circus Crazy is all about fighting but making sure the audience is entertained.
