About Circus Caper

Circus Caper is a platformer where the player controls a boy named Tim. His objective is to navigate circus grounds after his sister Judy fails to exit a show, having been taken by the ringmaster Mr. Magic.

The setting involves typical circus hazards, including clowns and tightrope artists. Progression requires traversing areas like water by using alligators as platforms. The gameplay is challenging, involving these environmental obstacles.

Mini-games are accessible by entering small tents scattered throughout the levels. The initial premise involves the siblings having only enough money for one ticket, which leads Judy to enter the circus alone before her disappearance.
