Carnage

Screenshots1 / 3

A top-down arena scene displays a player character in green outfit wielding a gun in the center, surrounded by three enemy fighters in various colored costumes positioned around the arena. Two metal fences frame the left and right sides, with a brown textured wall in the background and scattered falling debris or particles from above. A pink spiral logo appears in the lower right corner. The HUD in the upper left shows a portrait icon, multiplier counter reading 6x, score of 000510, and 100 remaining. Pixel art uses a limited palette of greens, reds, blues, and browns rendered in low resolution typical of early 1990s DOS graphics.
