Carousel
_Carousel_ is a clone of the arcade game Carnival which is a fixed screen
shoot ’em up with a amusement park theme. The player controls a gun down the
bottom of the screen and has to shoot the targets that move back and forth
above him in three rows. The player has a limited amount of bullets and when
out of them the game ends. The targets are made up of three different animals:
ducks, rabbits and owls as well as letters of the word BONUS. Hitting the
letters in the correct order and a bonus score is given for each. Ducks are
special as they might swoop down towards the player and the player has to
shoot them before they land or else he will lose bullets.
In addition to the targets there is also a rotating wheel at the top of the
screen and all of its spokes has to be shot to complete a level. Once
everything on the screen has been shot the player moves on to a bonus round
featuring a polar bear. It will move across the screen and the player has to
shoot it as many times as possible. For every hit the bear reverses his
direction and increases his speed until it escapes and the player moves on to
the next level.
