The briefing

About this game

In Circus Lido, you control a squat green lizard tasked with clearing each screen of bugs. Shoot out the lizard’s long pink tongue to swallow nearby critters, then spit them into the hungry plants positioned around the level.

The lizard cannot jump, so movement also depends on a tail that shoots upward and catches onto grippable platforms. Certain floor sections can be shifted left or right by pressing up while standing over the appropriate arrowed block.
