Sorry for the bump (am I really?) but I would still love to see AA cart this!

I hear that!!

[AtariLeaf]

I forgot about this again. Still abandoned? I think this would be a really popular homebrew if ever finished and released. I'd buy one for sure.

After several years hiatus I have decided to restart Circus AtariAge in 2020. I am shooting for a WIP release in about 4-6 months for now. Currently I am just pondering whether or not to port it to CDFJ. In any case it needs to re-booted with a re-write from scratch.

Awesome, glad to hear you're working on this again!  Really look forward to seeing what you do going forward.

This is awesome. I loved, loved, loved the little guys going splat during a miss.

 

As good as the Pokey 7800 game is, the dated PRGE demo from a few years back is one of my fav gotos on my harmony. Perfectly playable, and with a bit of polish could become a completed game.

Fantastic news!  I just mentioned this version to the guys of Pie Factory Podcast!  Glad to see you'll be working more on it!

Whatever you decide to build in the vein of a Circus style paddle game, I'll play it.

This is awesome news. The cart would look great beside the 2600 original and Bob's 7800 Super Circus Atariage.

Hello all,

 

While I haven't fully picked this up yet, I have stripped most of the fluff out of the game in the process of "re-learning" what the heck I did, and then to start building it back up. This build of CAA will allow people to play without interuption. You can also gain a life every 100 pts (up to nine lives max). If you are good you can probably play this indefinitely.

 

Progress on this project has been slower than expected due to some detours for menu games. I would expect the next update would be several months from now, and in the form of an ARM game.

This looks so awesome and it is great news to see it up and running again. It is such a fun game and now it looks great too!! Atari Leaf must be fired up for this one and watching it closely as it is his favourite game. Will it have the game varieties with the barriers?? I like how your clown can get stuck up there for a while and rack up a lot of points.
