About the Game

Overview
In the distant future, mankind is at the brink of extinction. Set on a mission to find resources for their dying species, the voyagers encountered a strange, sadistic alien race with a clownish appearance. Will the survivors escape the gory circus? Or will they be assimilated like all the others?

Trapped in a spaceship with electric walls and vengeful alien clowns, the goal is simple: Get back to your cruiser at the docking bay and escape. But these gruesome bozos have some nasty tricks hidden up their sleeves and seem to know your every move. You must outwit and slay any clown that stands in your way, but you must make haste! For as you linger, you attract the attention of the ever-hungry Jugularnaut...

Lock and load, kill clowns, and run for your life!
