About This Demo

🎱 Bank shots over direct hits - a billiards-flavored shooter

In Carom Crashers, ricochets make you stronger. Hit directly for x1 damage, bounce off one wall
for x1.5, two walls for x2 - touch a third wall and the shot vanishes. Enemies hiding around
corners or behind cover? If the angle is right, every wall is your weapon.

🎮 What's in this free demo

The demo is built to teach the core loop, not to tease it:

• 2 arenas - Classic and the octagonal Pillar Plaza
  
• 2 water guns - Soaker and Spread
  
• 1 character - Chick
  
• All 4 traps and all 6 mutators
  
• Full bot matches, the 9-step tutorial, and the practice range
  
• Couch party and Remote Play Together, exactly as in the full game

Coins and challenge progress you earn here carry into the full game.
Everything below describes the full release.

🛋️ Couch party - plug in a pad, press A

During any bot match, press A on a gamepad and a friend instantly takes over a bot slot (up to 4 players).
The camera zooms out to show the whole arena. With Remote Play Together, Steam friends join your
couch party without owning the game - one copy, four players.

👾 4-player last-one-standing · 2v2 teams

Free-for-all brawls in a quarter-view arena, or Blue vs Red 2v2. Round-based, with a 90-second
sudden death that forces a finish.

🔫 12 water guns · 4 traps · 6 round-changing mutators

Soaker, rapid, heavy, piercing (re-hits on every wall bounce), spread, sticky, mega -
plus sniper, ricochet, surge, spray, and quake. Spike traps, bounce pads, mines, slow bombs.
And 6 mutators that flip the rules each round (Super Cushion, Air Hockey, All-Spread, Trap Frenzy,
Fast Shot, Speed Rush) so no two rounds play alike.

🐤 7 characters - pricier isn't stronger

Chick is free; unlock the other six with coins - Hazmat, Hoodie, Knight, Ninja, Samurai
and Spaceman (150-300 coins each). Every character trades a strength for a weakness across
8 stats: move speed, health, fire rate, damage, defense, starting ammo, traps, aim preview.
Price buys extremity, not power - you win by skill, not grind.
8 color skins let you make any of them yours.

🏆 28 challenges · daily goals · match grades

28 challenges track everything from your first bank-shot kill to map mastery, and they double as
Steam achievements. A daily challenge rotates every day for bonus coins, and every match
ends with a grade (S-C) and a reward. Personal bests are kept for your best combo and biggest round.

🗺️ 6 arenas - same rules, new angles

The pure-billiards Classic, octagonal Pillar Plaza with 45° cushions, the S-shaped
Zigzag Canyon with moving cushions that redirect shots mid-flight, sightline-cutting
Foggy Maze, long-bank Winter Rink, and the confetti-and-ember Festival Yard.
Every map turns cushion angles back into a puzzle.

🌐 Online · bots · practice range

Play online via Steam friend invites and Quick Match. Solo? Full bot matches where coins and
challenges all count, plus a tutorial and dummy practice range to learn your angles.
