It's so hard to hit the right keys when you are laughing so hard; and like there is two and their right next to each other, and I still couldn't hit them. Loved the game. Good use of both themes. Well done. Calgary Game Developers ROCK!

I hope the kids don't mind that I filled their balloons with my smoker's cough...

Funny concept! I loved the animations

That was awesome. You REALLY shouldve implemented audio though.. that would've made the game 12/10.

This is quite unique in its own mood. Really enjoyed it. Gameplay could be improved upon though.

Nice work on incorporating both themes. Reminds me of Krusty, especially in his sigh when he pops a balloon. Love the music.

Audio absolutely sells this game from the pathetic sounds of the clown to the background murmur of the partygoers who are clearly ignoring the clown. Balloon blowing gets a bit glitchy if you spam the blow key. Sad clowns are funny.

Haha very moody and character development is pretty amazing. Animation was great. Gameplay is a little lacking but still a funny entry!

Nice work!

That poor, poor clown. This is an awesome take on the theme, and good fun to boot.

It looks like there's a bug (at least in the Windows build) with restarting after game over - it didn't reset my score, and things seemed to freeze up after popping my first balloon on the second playthough. No biggie as quitting and relaunching is easy.
