Game Details

Circus Charlie is a clown that has 6 events to complete. You can complete each event 5 times before the game finishes.

The first event has Circus Charlie riding on the back of a lion, jumping through flaming hoops and over flaming urns. Some of the hoops have money bags to collect. If you collect all the money bags you get a bonus at the end of the level. You get bonus points for jumping over the urns without having to jump through a hoop at the same time. You can get an extra life by jumping backwards through the first hoop after having jumped through it normally.

The second event has Circus Charlie jumping over monkeys on a tightrope. If you jump over a purple monkey as it jumps over a brown monkey you get bonus points.

The third event is jumping from left to right on trampolines. You need to avoid the knives and pins that are being juggled. Again, there are money bags to collect. Collect them all for a bonus at the end of the level.

The fourth event is rolling and jumping onto giant balls. If you jump completely over a ball onto another one you get bonus points.

The fifth event has Circus Charlie riding on the back of a horse. He needs to jump on trampolines as he goes along. You get more points the more times you jump on each trampoline. You can control the speed of the horse as slow, normal or fast.

The sicth and final event is jumping from trapeze to trapeze. There is the occasional trampoline to catch your fall if you miss.
