CarneyVale: Showtime is a vertical platformer developed by Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab and published by Microsoft Game Studios. It was initially released on Xbox Live Indie Games (then Xbox Live Community Games) on Xbox 360.[2] Players play as Slinky, "a circus acrobat trying to rise up the ranks by performing acrobatic tricks and death-defying stunts through increasingly complex arenas".[3]

The game won the 2008 Dream-Build-Play Challenge,[4] was declared a finalist in the 2008 Independent Games Festival, and was featured as one of the PAX 10 top games at the 2009 Penny Arcade Expo.[5]

Ports and re-releases

Microsoft Game Studios published ports of the game for Windows Phone 7 and Microsoft Windows,[6] which were released on October 18, 2010 and November 1, 2010; respectively.[7] The Windows port was released exclusively via the Games for Windows Marketplace with Games for Windows – Live support.[8]

The rights to the game were bought by Appxplore, who ported it to Android and iOS on May 5, 2016.[9]
