Carnival of Terror Guide by dubster15

Point Values:

Cream Pies – 5 points – You have to be quick to get these. Remember; miss, and you’ll get hit instead.
Clown Arm – 4 points – Always go for these when the clowns are close to you. Don’t bother otherwise…
Umbrella – 3 points – Surprisingly hard to hit, but still, rather effective for getting your Chia down faster.
Clown Head – 2 points – These seem to get hit the most often, even when you’re not aiming. It’s like popping heads off dandelions… only a tad stickier.
Clown Legs – 1 point – Try not to aim for these. Really. If they come off, the Chia is likely to explode, taking away some more of your health. Though watching them waddle is kind of fun…

Carnival of Terror Guide by livmin

I have found something out about Carnival of Terror that PPT’s other game guides don’t pick up on.

The main reason that people do not get very high scores is because they run out of time, and I have discovered that each parachuting clock that comes down adds 30 seconds to your time. I have also found that these clocks often come in fairly quick succession, followed by a period with very few, if any clocks at all.

If you have just started a game and after about 5 seconds a clock floats down, DO NOT SHOOT IT until it is very near the floor, or about to disappear behind one of the buildings. The reason for this is simple. If you shoot the clock immediately, your time will reset to 0, and you will not have gained any “free” time. In the time it takes the clock to get near the ground (the “free” time), you could have gained about 20 extra points by shooting at the Chia Clowns. So, if you get any clocks within the first 30 seconds of your game, play like this and see what happens!
