Circus Puppet Theater

Ludum Dare 58

Find the five. Spotlight them now.

Let's show begin!

Under the faded big top, you must complete the act: search the yard for five “puppets” — four clowns of different colors and one stone — and bring them to the arena. The stone willingly lets itself be carried, but every clown must be stunned first. One clown is peaceful and won’t attack, two will shoot at you, and the fourth behaves like you — picking up and carrying the others, scrambling your plans. You spawn in the arena while the “puppets” wander the yard; each time you return to the arena, the yard repopulates with puppets.

Objective:

• Find in the yard and deliver to the arena all 5 objects: 4 clowns (each a different color) and 1 stone.
• Place them at the marked spots in the arena to finish the act.

Carry and Throw Rules:

• You can pick up and throw any object.
• The stone can be picked up immediately.
• Clowns can only be picked up after being stunned.

Clown Types:

• Peaceful Clown: won’t harm you, but still must be stunned before you can pick him up.
• Two Shooters: fire at you from range.
• Carrier Clown: behaves like the player - picks up and moves other clowns.

Space and Cycle:

• You start in the arena - this is where all objects must be delivered.
• "Puppets" initially roam the yard and periodically shift positions.
• Every time you return to the arena, the yard repopulates with puppets.
