Schismo’s Sideshow

A hand-drawn action roguelike set inside of a strange circus attraction. Defeat hordes of fast-moving enemies to generate energy for the circus. Collect Schismo's lost Stamps to change your playstyle and raise the skill ceiling. Meta-progression comes in the form of Marlbes that offer mutually exclusive choices.

Plot

After crossing a vast desert, you stumble upon a monolithic circus tent looming above the land. At night, the carnival lights blink awake, beckoning you to enter the tent. Inside you are greeted by Schismo, a strange double-sided ringmaster. He urges you to grab a ticket for his new attraction. Agreeing, you suddenly lose your sense of time and place. After finding yourself inside an unforgiving and unfamiliar world, it becomes apparent that this so-called "attraction" is much more than it seems!
