Games Like Ministrelli's Cardboard Circus

You are the new lightboy for the Ministrelli Circus, and it's your job to let the artists shine.

Aim your spotlights, work the soundboard, and blast smoke and confetti, all at exactly the right moment. Keep the performers lit and the crowd roaring. Lose track of the act and your score drops; lose the audience entirely and you're running the show again.

You start with a single spotlight. Progress through the show and you'll unlock extra spots to track multiple performers at once, soundboards, confetti cannons and more, until you're juggling a full rig where everything has to fire in sync.

The game is split into short chapters, each built around a different circus member as the main act, with multiple acts to complete. Between them you head backstage: the cast share stories, gossip and grudges, and how you handle them can shape both the gameplay and who takes the spotlight next.
