Love this game! It has a very nice atmosphere, like you're in an old TV show. The models are simplistic, but eye catching. I just have to wonder, why is the character's performance so hated? I guess we'll never know...

Of the balance mechanic games in this jam I've played so far, this one is the best tuned and easiest to learn. I thought your homescreen with the entrance to the circus was really pretty and consistent. If I had a small suggestion that would have upped my rating on this, it would be to have the in-game text use the same font and border as the signed on the homescreen. Overall a really nice entry that I bet will advance! Very nice work.

I really like the atmosphere you created with the art style. Kind of reminds me of an old movie. Also great job on the menu. Really ties in well with the rest of the game. Would be cool to somehow apply the same style to the end screen. Another cool addition might be spotlights pointing at the character. Overall really nice!

Interesting use of two buttons, like it!

Ahh this is the tightrope entry I was waiting for! Mechanic worked well though, though curious to see how you can expand from here. Amazed the shadows and everything ran well enough in the browser for me - nice work!

Great balancing game. Loved the art and theme as well. Great job!

Very good use of two buttons, managed to get the hang of it after a couple tries! Would love to see a higher difficulty, maybe an unexpected twist in the middle of a second level or something. Really solid start though if you plan to build upon this!

Love it! The two button feature is amazing would be fun to be able to throw a tomato back at them! lol

Cool game, vary hard but I got it on my like 5 or 6 try. I love the into screen btw, it really sets the scene.

Love the immersive menu and the audience shouting at you with the little speech bubbles. Nice job :)

Really like how the crowd are booing and throwing oranges at you, with some that miss and some that hit. I also like how the hands stretch out to the sides too, it all looks good, including the menu screen. The game is quite tricky to be honest and I think it might benefit from having some way to measure the distance you've crossed to keep track of progress. I made it across to the other side :)

Enjoyed this one a lot! Some of the most impressive camera work I've seen in any of the entries. You made an immersive experience from the second I saw the title screen. If I could give any suggestion would be to give a similar amount of love to the game over UI. Would love to see this expand. Could be cool to see how other acts deal with the rude crowd.

From a colored dot to having both hands game improved a lot i enjoyed playing it …. Keep the good work up!!!!

You really nailed the theme and circus vibe. The game became quite easy once I figure out the gameplay. I would like to see the game expanded, maybe different levels or difficulties. Solid round 1 game.

One of the sickest menus that I've seen in a minute. The art style has an almost claymation feel to it, movieish. Smooth and simple, I dig it.
