Premise[]
The premise of Super Carnage was simple: a man wakes up nude in a bathroom one day, and finds himself in a hostile environment swarming with enemies. Using a number of assorted weapons scattered throughout the level, the only goal was to dispatch all the enemies while avoiding being killed himself.
Super Carnage had several weapons:
- Submachine gun (Uzi)
- Silenced machine gun
- Minigun
- Rocket launcher (RPG-7)
- Plank
- Crowbar
- Baseball bat
- Pipe
- Flamethrower
- Automatic shotgun
- Grenades
- Molotov cocktails

Trivia[]
- Super Carnage was inspired by Mark Millar's Kick-Ass, along with the top-down action games of Japanese developer Ikiki.
- Only one map was made for Super Carnage, a map that would eventually become Full House in Hotline Miami.
- Super Carnage had no melee enemies, and the AI's pathfinding was irregular (which forced Cactus to stop working on the game).
- As a prelude to the mask system of Hotline Miami, Super Carnage instead had unlockable clothes; for example, body armour, which would provide more protection against bullets; while being completely naked would result in a higher score.
- Super Carnage was almost completely impossible to beat, as the game was extremely hard due to the slow overall speed of the character.
