You are Barney the clown and your objective is to entertain the crowd in the circus with four acts (increasing difficulty). You can choose any act to perform as well as the number of lives, the difficulty and vary the score. The acts you perform are all viewed from the side and are as follows: Act 1: You have to walk on a tightrope for 100m in a limited time with the screen constantly scrolling. Monkeys and fire hoops appear, the monkeys must be stepped over and the hoops jumped through. Act 2: You have to collect ten balloons while avoiding being hit by the strong man, Otto, who is walking around the screen. Act 3: You are on a unicycle and you have to ride it for 100m in a limited time, the screen is constantly scrolling from right to left. Act 4: The last act takes place on a single screen. You bounce on one of the three trampolines but you can jump from one to the other to collect keys.
