Where's That Clown?!

⠀

this is a very fun game to sink half an hour into now and then.it really reminds me of flash games i used to play as a kid. i give huge props to the devs for making a game about a clown that isn't scary but a classic fun one,love those

Where's That Clown?! is a ridiculous little arcade game that I enjoyed because it turns being a clown into an unexpectedly frantic job. I have to run around birthday parties trying to entertain impatient children while avoiding angry parents, and the whole thing has a wonderfully silly sense of humor. I liked how quickly the game turns a harmless party into complete chaos. The main gameplay is about rushing between groups of children and bringing them randomly appearing props that will make them laugh. Things like whoopie cushions, juggling pins and pies keep appearing, so I have to react quickly and get them where they need to go. I enjoyed the simple objective because it gives the game a clear rhythm of finding a prop, delivering it and immediately rushing toward the next group. The parents are what make the movement more interesting. Bumping into them results in a scolding, so I have to think about my route instead of blindly running through the party. The trampoline and clown car perks also give me more ways to move around the map. I liked these because they make the later moments feel much more chaotic without adding complicated controls. The colorful presentation fits the …

I hate to provide a negative review to what is clearly a small game from a small team but I played one 3 minute round of this game and simply could not bring myself to play even a minute more. I understand that it is intended to be a fast frenetic game, but it felt absolutely awful to control. I used a controller. I felt like I was barely controlling a dog on a leash. All the obstacles and moving guests are just so ridiculously hard to avoid. And items spawn in random places so you HAVE to run around like a maniac to locate what you need Maybe I missed some trick, or maybe I needed to give some other levels a try but the fundamental experience of MOVING was so bad for me. For what it's worth, this game is free, so it's not like I lost money by trying it. But if I am being completely honest, I feel I wasted the time I spent with it. Even if it was only 3 minutes. This is a simple game. And it's simply not for me.

"Where's That Clown?!" is a simple 3D rendered 2D top down/orthogonal view arcade action game where you take on the role of a clown at a kids party and run around keeping the kids entertained. This plays out a bit like a restaurant platespinner, using various clown themed tools such as juggling pins to keep kids happy. The game visuals are bad (more on that in a bit) and the game is also badly optimised, with annoying controls and janky framerates. Overall this is a shallow experience and it's easy to see why it wasn't successful. This looks a lot like it was designed for consoles, but released on Steam instead by mistake. While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier than needed control scheme to the less than cutting edge graphics. There's 10's of thousands of PC games on Steam, and PC gamers deserve only the best. This might not appeal to many gamers due to the lack of PC-centric design. It's unclear why this never made it to the video game console appliances it seems to have been designed for. On the important subject of visuals, this features fairly low quality stylised/cartoony low poly 3D graphics. It comes acr…

This is a very fun and simple game from a brand new company of young developers. I will definitely be following their upcoming games and look forward to what they do next.
