Circus Convoy, The Game

In this game The Chameleon appears as Andre the Magnificent, in his purple tights with headband tails and cotton belt flapping in the breeze. The action takes place en route between venues along a deserted highway as the multiple convoys of trucks that carry the circus travel at highway speed.

With his extraordinary speed and dexterity, Andre can traverse the tops of the truck trailers, jumping from each to the next in either direction. Many of the specialized sideshow haulers are equipped with a top hatch that can be opened remotely (if one can find the activating switch).

The Circus Convoy is arranged in multiple convoys, as follows:

A “truck” is a semi-truck cab with multiple trailers. It is a short jump between trailers attached to a common cab.

Multiple trucks travel together in small convoys. With the right materials and correct application, trucks in each convoy can be brought together closely enough to jump between them.

The full traveling circus is made up of multiple convoys that require extraordinary means to travel from one to another while speeding down the highway.

The Chameleon will often “run the trailers” as part of his training when they are in between performance venues. (He thinks of it as his personal Parkour course.) But this time it is for real.

Before they left their last stop, it is believed that a saboteur from a rival circus snuck onto one of the convoys and messed with one or more of the sideshows. Damage to the sideshow mechanisms might make it impossible for circus patrons to have a fair chance to earn the prizes - damaging the Heartland Circus’ reputation for fair play. It is also believed that the saboteur may have reconnected and used one or more of the condemned “Magic Transporter” machines kept under lock and key in cargo trailers. (We obtained these machines from a defunct act after they were found to alternately duplicate or kill the magician using them. It is also rumored that the ghosts of magicians who died trying to perfect human transportation as part of their act haunt the Heartland Circus to this day.)

Our saboteur also scattered many of the circus props and equipment throughout the convoys. Many of these are dangerous and can cause you harm. For example, the saboteur broke into the Snake Boy's trailer and released all of the small snakes he uses in his act. Also watch out for The Swami's deadly cobras.

Someone has to seek out, enter, and complete every sideshow (before the next stop, and at highway speed) to make sure every target or skill can be completed. If in the process the saboteur is found and captured, all the better.

Unfortunately, in his guise as Andre, The Chameleon will have to energize and enter one or more of the dangerous transporters to reach every sideshow on all of the company’s truck convoys. Wish him luck that they don’t malfunction with catastrophic results.

Scoring

Game progress / completion is measured by finding every element and completing every task. Game score is loosely tracked using “Stars”. Select the Star in the inventory to see how many you have collected. Press FIRE on the Star to see a full recap of your game’s status. You can exit the game from the status screen; and upon exiting a two-part QR code is displayed. Scan the QR codes with the camera on your mobile device to submit your score and elapsed time to our worldwide leader boards.

The maximum score possible in each sideshow is 5 Stars. You may have to play each sideshow many times to earn the perfect score.

If Andre loses a life during play, he is re-spawned somewhere along the truck on which he was hurt. You have 5 lives with which to complete the game - unless you pick up extra lives along the way.

Online Guides (PAUSE)

Toggle GAME SELECT at any time in the game to display a link to a context-specific guide page. As you unlock and enter each Circus Sideshow, you can access sideshow-specific guides with details on how to play and how the scoring works. (The game will be paused while any Guide QR code is displayed.)

Basic Navigation

You control Andre using the left JOYSTICK, running left and right with JOYSTICK LEFT and JOYSTICK RIGHT.

The FIRE button is used to jump, while JOYSTICK DOWN is used to kneel or duck.

You climb up and down, such as on ladders, using JOYSTICK UP and JOYSTICK DOWN.

Note that the controller will operate with minor variations in certain sideshow games.
