Developer

Thank you!

Interesting idea. I would probably have stopped playing if the controls weren't explained in the comment down below which i noticed by change. Add them to the game page, players will thank you.

The games becomes a mess pretty soon, but what do I expect in a flea circus :D Well done.

Developer

Thanks for your comments!

A fun, atmospheric and quite solid game. It really was a great idea to explain the controls here in the comments, I had a consistently negative score until I read it.

Developer

Thanks!

While the controls were a bit confusing for a moment I had a fun time getting a high score of like 190! Fun experience! 

Developer

Yeah, controls are a kind of "try until it works"... I should have explained them.

But even doesn't knowing the controls, you got 190! Congrats!

And thank you for playing and providing comments!

Just played The Mayhem Flea Circus! Super fun and simple concept! Somthing I would have like to see would have been some type of upgrade system to get more ways to the little critters (Maybe like an extra trampoline?) Awesome Job!

Thanks for your kind comments!

Upgrading is a good idea! Maybe in next version :)

Really enjoyed this little game! I really liked your use of single pixels, it allowed for a much larger game space. I liked that you get points for various different acts, and I think you nailed the "less is more" style of fun. Great stuff!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Somebody suggested me to explain the controls... Well, I thought it would be more interesting if players discovered them. But it wasn't a good idea, so:

  • Slide your mouse (PC) or finger (mobile/table) on the red bar to move the trampoline. Be careful: circus' fleas don't land very well from high heights. But show must go on...
  • Tap or clic on the trapeze to do a piruette, at the proper time.
  • Cirus' fleas don't like fire. However, a bucket of water makes them famous!
  • Wait for drama and speed, at some point...

Enjoy! 

And thanks por playing!
