About this game
Guide Charlie through a sequence of circus acts using movement and well-timed jumps. In the lion act, you move forward or back while jumping through fire rings and over burning pots, lining up the next opening before committing. The game contains five stage types. The displayed bonus falls as time passes, so reaching the end safely is only one goal: a faster performance can retain more points. Each act asks you to read its obstacles and adjust the same basic movements to their timing.
