About this game
Midway Malarkey is a hand-painted 1930s cartoon arena brawler. Rascals pour out of every tent at the carnival and your weapons fire on their own: rolling pins, trumpets, tesla coils and falling anvils. Dodge their shots, grab tickets, spend them in the Prize Booth between waves, merge weapons into stronger ones and collect weapon families for bonuses. Modes: the Endless Show (survive as long as you can while the nightmare scaling keeps rising), the 15-wave Grand Tour campaign, and a new Daily Show every day with its own twist (30 different shows). Characters: six heroes to unlock - Blot, Tilly, Gramps, Penny, Spool and Bix - each with their own starting weapon. Bosses: the strongman, Madame Merry-Go-Round and Barnaby Hokum, the Ringmaster. Plus carnival attractions like the Prize Wheel and the Strongman Bell, and four swing-era songs.
