The show

Five acts under the big top

Each act has its own trick to learn, its own tune, and a set piece in the middle that the crowd came to see. Swipe to see them all.

ACT ONE

Lion & Fire

Ride Rufus the lion through flaming hoops and hop the fire pots on the ring floor.

ACT TWO

The Tightrope

Jump the monkeys. Hold in the air to float across the wide gaps.

ACT THREE

Trampolines

Tap as you land for a super bounce, past fire-breathers and knife throwers.

ACT FOUR

Horseback

Hurdles, springboards over brick walls, and one giant leap across the big fire pit.

GRAND FINALE

The Trapeze

Swing, let go at the right moment, and catch the next bar. Timing is everything.

Four ways to play

One coin. Many shows.

MODE 1

Arcade

All five acts in order. Clear them and the show loops, a little faster and a little meaner each time.

MODE 2

Endless

Random acts, rising difficulty, and a score that only stops when your lives do.

MODE 3

Daily

Everyone gets the same course each day. Hand the phone around and compare scores.

MODE 4

Practice

Replay any act you have reached, as many times as it takes to nail it.

Look and feel

Chunky pixels, chiptune band

Hand-drawn pixel art, optional scanlines, and an original soundtrack played by the game itself, note by note. Swipe to see more.

For everyone

Tough like the arcade, kind to small hands

A proper arcade challenge for grown-ups, and an Easy level that lets a young child finish an act and feel brilliant about it.

Easy, Normal, Hard

Pick a level before every show. Easy gives five lives, a slower pace and hoops set far apart. Hard is three lives and tight, like the cabinets of old.

Big, clear buttons

A fixed pad to walk back, wait or run, with a button-size setting. Or switch to one-thumb play.

No ads, no extras

Pay once. Nothing to watch, nothing more to buy, and nothing to tap by mistake.

Private and offline

No accounts and no internet. Scores stay on the device. Read the privacy policy.
