With Ayo the Clown, we’d like to reintroduce you to the incredibly fun side scrolling platformer games of the ‘90s where fun platforming meets an inspiring and memorable story. Everybody will love Ayo the Clown’s unique and charming art style so expect the unexpected as this clown takes you through a world of pure imagination. Just think, if Super Mario Bros., Yoshi, Kirby, and Little Big Planet had a child, this would be it.

Story

In Ayo’s hometown, things are generally peaceful. Accompanied by his talented circus dog, Bo, Ayo juggles in the park, hangs out at the carnival and longs after the Shoemaker’s granddaughter. Until one day, Bo goes missing! You play as Ayo, your not-so-average clown, in search of his best friend and beloved dog who has mysteriously disappeared. What happened to Bo? Will they ever juggle together at the park again? Or set up that circus act they’ve always planned? You’ll find out along this incredible adventure as you strive to reunite clown and dog. Like all good adventures, you won’t be all on your own. Ayo’s world is full of friendly people and interesting creatures that are willing to lend a helping hand. Ayo the Clown is a tale of courage, love, friendship, and the amazing things that happen when you never give up.

GamePlay

In this 2.5D platformer, players take on the role of a clown named Ayo. Instead of saving a princess, our protagonist journeys throughout the cute, yet dangerous world saving his dog. As Ayo, players will float up to the skies with the help of balloons, stomp down to the ground, slide across icy surfaces and get a pie in the face at every checkpoint. Pick up water balloons, balloon swords, toy hammers, dinosaurs, helicopters, tanks, everything a healthy clown needs to survive in the great outdoors. Initially Ayo doesn’t have any skills (except walking and crouch) but earns them as he progresses, either through side quests or just from talking to NPCs. And throughout your journey be sure to keep an eye out for some lovely collectibles: gems, rubber chicken, fart bags – you name it!
