Ranked from 4 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
Your circus group is struggling. You must push to the extremes to entertain the crowd. What could go wrong...

We interpreted the theme as predictable/ avoidable circumstances., i.e. dumbs ways to die. So, we made a platformer with many hazardous obstacles and enemies which the circus believes that it will gain them popularity to save their dying group. Since they believe themselves professional, they won't stop to consider if this a good idea or not.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We used the GameMaker Windy Woods template so many of the original assets are still there.

Cute and simple little game !

Just a little bug, i got stuck between a platform, but it's nothing game breaking.

And i didn't understood why, but i got a Game Over screen at the end of level two
Overall it was cool !

Thank you for playing and giving us feedback! We didn't really have time so there's only 2 levels and one game over screen. We'll look into  the platform issue. Again, thank you!!

Love the music and the circus arts! I noticed that if I go straight left from the spawn location, I will get stuck in the middle of the dark sky and there is no way to go back.

Thank you for playing! And sorry you experienced that. We'll looking into why the player gets yeeted into the sky like that. Very weird....
