Circus Atari

Circus Atari challenges players to clear a wall of red, blue, and white balloons by bouncing clowns from a teeter-totter into them. Move the teeter-totter across the screen to catch each clown and send it upward toward the balloons.

Players receive five clowns, or turns. Missing the teeter-totter causes a clown to crash and disappear; after five crashes, the game ends. A new clown can be launched from the trampoline at either the right or left corner by pressing the controller button. Clowns must land on an open part of the teeter-totter, as landing where another clown is sitting causes a crash.
