Carnival Gallery

Carnival Gallery puts you at the counter of a striped carnival shooting booth with a cork gun. Wooden ducks, glass bottles, painted targets, balloons and ghosts slide past on the rails, and behind the booth a little fairground with a ferris wheel and string lights carries on. Aim, fire and knock down as much as you can before the bell rings.

A normal stage lasts 40 seconds, and a boss stage lasts 60. Each stage has a points goal for one star, and higher scores earn the second and third stars. Your gun holds six corks, so reloads matter; it reloads by itself when empty, but reloading early during a quiet moment keeps you ready. Hits in a row raise your multiplier step by step up to x5, and a single miss resets it, so accuracy is worth more than speed.

The campaign runs 120 stages across eight booths. The Duck Pond starts with ducks and golden ducks worth five times more, the Bottle Bar adds bottles and a swinging star that gives three extra seconds, Bullseye Alley has flip targets where only the painted side counts, the Balloon Garden has balloons rising between the rails, and at Moonlight Pier the ducks dip behind the rail. Pirate Cove adds bombs you must not hit and helmet ducks that need two corks, the Ghost Train has ghosts that fade in and out, and the Grand Circus mixes it all. Every fifth stage is a challenge, such as Sharpshooter with limited corks, Gold Rush or Steady Hand where misses cost time, and each booth ends with a boss whose glowing weak spot you must hit.

Tips: protect your multiplier by skipping risky long shots when a run is going well. Prioritise golden ducks and the time star when they appear. On flip targets, wait for the painted side and aim for the centre bonus. Against bosses, the weak spot shows for a moment and then moves, so stay on it and fire while it glows.

Tickets you win buy plush prizes that sit on the booth's prize shelf, new cork guns and crosshairs. After stage 10 the Endless Fair opens: the clock starts at 30 seconds, stars, gold and long streaks add time, and the rails speed up as the run goes on. Stages are short, so it works well for quick sessions, and the booth is framed for both landscape and portrait screens, playable with a mouse, keyboard or touch.

Aim, fire and beat the points goal before the bell. You get six corks per load, so pick your own moment to reload rather than running dry at the busiest point. The longer your streak, the bigger the multiplier.
