Big Top Tactics is a mash up of an action survival game and a turned-based tactics game set in a Circus theme.  Irate customers are invading your circus, but the show must go on!  As the ring leader, you need to grab the power-ups and keep your troupe motivated.  As the troupe, perform when a crowd gets to your act, or risk your motivation getting so low you give up.  Be on the watch for flying tomatoes and harsh words from the crowd, they will cut you to the core.  Survive enough rounds and the show will go on.  Lose all your troupe and the show will end forever!

Made with Construct 3 in five weeks.  Genre and theme was decided by the "wheel of genres" on our YouTube channel.

Fun playthrough!  Loving the pixel art, the characters looked great.  The chess-like movement was pretty cool too.  I felt like the ring leader should have had a decrease in moves if they ran into the crowd, but aside from that the only other ideas would just go into this being more fleshed out with more characters and shows :)


Thanks for the video and playing the game!  We had a lot of ideas for performers but had to cut out so many to meet out 5 week scope.. maybe some more will eventually work their way in.
