This mime game puts a new spin on ‘finger guns’

polygon.com:

Clowns are horrifying, so you better come prepared when facing a horde of them trying to kill you. Mr. Maim has a unique way of keeping you safe: imaginary weapons. In this first-person shooter, you forgo the use of real guns and mime ones instead.

There are mimes and more in Cool WIP, Polygon’s weekly roundup of eye-catching clips and screenshots of works in progress. Each week, the Polygon staff scours the internet for the most interesting games still under construction, to give you a sampler of the coolest up-and-coming projects

Read on to check out a spooky swamp, a stylish overhead shooter, a whimsical 3D platformer, and a game that looks like it was taken straight out of Cartoon Network.

In this janky, cursed creation called Mr. Maim you play as a mime, but with a twist: all the weapons mimed are real. So when you mime a gun, it literally shoots what is in front of it. In a clip posted by Alpha Beta Gamer here, you can see the player mowing down a swarm of clowns with imaginary guns. The game was created by a developer under the name RowDaBoat and you can play the game now.
