King.com Carnival Shootout video

My goal is to hit the bulls eye (3 stars) for every single target, most importantly for the 700 creatures.

Carnival Shootout - 42916



Tips:
- Your priority must always be to hit the bullseye of each target without a white flag
- If you do not hit the round target on animals with yellow flags then you won't get a special animal with a 500pt bonus target
- Make sure to shoot the bonus ball before shooting the animal, otherwise the ball will go to waste (thanks rahnnyboy)
- Once you get the hang of the game, try and prioritize which target to hit, get to know which targets can get you 700pts
- Only shoot the slow moving fish at the bottom if there are no other targets, they will be visible for the longest time
- The best time to hit the flying birds and monkeys in the top section of the screen is when they've completely swayed to one side, in other words, hit the targets when the bullseye is not moving fast
- If there are no targets on the screen to shoot at then you can empty the rest of your bullets and reload with a full pack of shots by clicking on the barrel to the right

Wow, you're pretty good -- I'm glad you posted this video since I just started learning Carnival Shootout yesterday! I didn't know you could reload your weapon by clicking on the icon. >_<

So, scoring a bullseye is more important than shooting something as soon as it appears, in your opinion?

I found out about that barrel reload feature as well as the bullseye multipliers by reading the Rules and Instructions for Carnival Shootout. King.com does a great job explaining each of their games.

So yes, scoring a bullseye is more important than shooting the target as fast as you can. You can get speed bonus points if you shoot two targets within a couple seconds, but considering it's only 1-7 points you can actually earn, getting the 2.0x multiplier over the 1.5x can make the difference between first and second place.

Well i just played my first game of carnival shootout and am pleased to say my score was 22500 thanks to your video....

any tips for specific boards?
I can play Round 1 (both types) almost perfectly, and the Round 3 with the rainbow I can play really really well (if I get that Round 3, I almost always get 40K).

Any tips for Round 2 boards or the Round 3 with the damned monkeys! If I get that Round 3 I usually get 36-38K!

Also, newbies, make sure you get the animals bullseye when they hold the yellow flag, then shoot the golden ball on the animal that comes out PRIOR to shooting the animal. Basically, if you hit the golden flag, and then get the ball and animal, it's an extra 750 pts per golden flag! That's a big way to bump your score as there are 6 to 8 golden flags per game (6K points!)

Hi Guys!

has anyone thought of using a touch screen to play this game?

Thanks

I tried...no good, you don't have to be exceptionally fast for this game, just have to aim well, which it's harder when your hand is obscuring your vision for a touch screen...

Hi Guys!
