Mr Maim: Señor Mimoerte sees a bunch of clowns trying to color you in. You can fight back with a few weapon-miming hand gestures, though.
I don’t know why the clowns are so insistent bringing color to you. Let alone why there’s two hundred of them who are committed to this colorful violence. Even less so about why you’re all in this room together. Is this some sort of gladiator world where folks hate mimes? Or do they hate clowns more and just want to see them mowed down. It’s a strange world, but one that is made endlessly silly by the mixture of mime gestures and bloody clown violence.
Anyway, you may seem like a defenseless mime, but your hands are deadly. You can do hand gestures that will create real carnage, conjuring a shotgun, grenades, knives, and a chainsaw. Using all of these tools, you’ll need to survive a massive wave of clowns coming at you from all sides. The combat is quite fast-paced (I guess the clowns REALLY don’t like you), requiring you stay quick on your feet. However, that can get hard to do when you keep cracking up at watching these hyper-realistic hands pretending to hold guns and melee weapons. There’s something powerfully goofy about watching the hands mimic cocking and firing a shotgun, then watching clowns fall to the ground in a burst of blood. I’m not sure what that says about me, but it’s pretty funny to watch.
Mr Maim isn’t an especially long experience, which is honestly the perfect length for this silly gag game. It’s a fun shooter while you play it, if only so you get to enjoy these goofy, murderous hand gestures. And the handful of taunts you get to throw in as well. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a mime flip off a killer clown before in my life.
