Clowns are inherently terrifying.
Space clowns so nihilistic that they simply do not care to adhere to basic spelling conventions, moreso.
Run, hide, fight, escape.
Do anything you might to stop those klowns getting too close.
Theyre killers, dontcha know?
I play as a klown for my first match, the choice of which being mainly cosmetic.
Matches last fifteen minutes, after which any un-escaped humans are killed by a giant cotton candy bomb.
But, if we can hook up 16 of these cocoons, well trigger the end early.
16 sounds like a lot of cocoons to find just lying around, but weve got another option here.
Its a 3 vs 7 game, so theres plenty humans to harvest.
The mallet does offer at least one distinct advantage though.
Downing humans allows for a flashy execution kill, and at least one of them involves pies.
We run over to the bridge, but the slippery bastard gets away.
For this match, Ive got three abilities hotkeyed on the left side of the screen.
The first and, dare I say, most klown-tastic of these is a giant leap.
Later in the match, Ill see a teammate land on top of a human, stunning them.
I keep getting trapped on invisible geometry, although Im able to just walk right off.
I take some fall damage, but luckily my second ability is a heal with some stat boosts.
Its helpful, since humans are faster than klowns by default.
Then again, they dont have that jump.
We end the match with three humans killed to four escaped.
With Klowns, this is that opportunity to bring that evade and escape vs having that hardcore shooter mentality.
I think weve got a really good balance.
I spend the next five minutes or so sprinting, sneaking, and occasionally hiding in bins.
If I wanted to, I could have kept those weapons for myself.
The clown car simile was right there, Jared!
But I appreciate the image.
