Circus

The circus has closed for the evening. It's your job to heip the clowns remove the cloud of balloons from the ceiling of the big top, by catapulting them into the air so they can pop all the brightly colored spheres. But a prankster has released one balloon filed with laughing gas. If one of the clowns pops the laughing gas balloon, he's out of the game. Even a clown can't bounce and pop and giggle at the same time. When the laughing gas balloon is yellow, it's safe to pop, and you are awarded 250 points. But if it's black, watch out. Each row of balloons has a different point value. The blue (bottom) row is worth 50 points, the green (middle) row is worth 75 points, and the red (top) row has a point value of 100- Whenever you catch a clown on your board, you get 5 points. An extra man is awarded for every 2000 points. To start the game, press the fire button on the joystick. As you play, you will notice a block moving left to right below the balloons. This block will cause your clown to rebound in the direction from which he came. There also are two platforms, one on each side, that keep the clown within reach of your teeter board. The platforms can be thought of as constructed with upside-down trap doors. When a clown lands on top, he will bounce back, but if he hits the bottom, he will pass through.
