CarneyVale: Showtime is a vertical ragdoll platform game for Xbox LIVE Community Games. In the game, you play as Slinky, a circus acrobat trying to rise up the ranks by performing acrobatic tricks and death-defying stunts through increasingly complex arenas.

You can manipulate a wide variety of props to get Slinky through the arena:

• Catch and fling the ragdoll Slinky around using trapeze-like Grabbers
• Make Slinky grab onto flying Rockets and ride them through a maze of obstacles
• Avoid electrical and flaming hazards which cause Slinky to lose lives
• Dash in mid-air and burst trails of balloons along the way
• Perform special acrobatic tricks to gain more fans

...And much, much more!

Each of the 18 regular levels features 5 objectives for you to complete:

• Getting Slinky through the Ring of Fire to finish the performance
• Collecting all balloons in the arena
• Completing the level within a time limit
• Finding the secret star hidden somewhere in the level
• Completing a perfect run without losing a single life

Earn star ratings for completing level objectives and rise up the ranks. Each new rank upgrades your caravan and unlocks new concept art or secret levels. You can also earn up to 12 Achievement-style awards within the game.

The game also comes with an inbuilt map editor and 9 slots for you to create your own custom maps and share them with family and friends. If you want even more acrobatic ragdoll action and challenging levels, create your own!
