How does the game fit the theme?
You make a choice day-to-day to work, spend time with family or shop, each choice with their own risks. Level design in the circus is designed for lots of opportunities to take risks, as well as various pressures such as time and mental health to handle and balance.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Extremely polished little game, I love the clown player sprite!
Thanks so much!
Amazing work here! Music and art style were really fitting. The gameplay loop was simple, yet required taking risks and was really engaging. The platformer levels were well designed too.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
nice game
Thanks :)
Very interesting premise. Platforming bits can get a bit frustrating, but overall its a great game!
Thank you!
I really loved the visuals and having to pick between daily actions, I had a hard time with platforming but mechanics were great (looking down, falling blocks, etc.)
Thank you!
Really good job as a 1 person entry, and with your own game engine, what a flex. Art and music are all great, and interesting, as far as gameplay goes its a pretty standard platformer, as with most entries to this game jam, the theme was not explored all that much
Thanks for playing! The risk system is whether or not you go to work for money, or spend time with family for sanity. Can you risk your sanity for a bit of extra money? Make too many mistakes in the circus and you lose all your sanity, or die in the circus for a different ending.
A really interesting concept! The art style is pleasant and fits the mood of the game nicely, and the gameplay is surprisingly engaging. I really enjoyed it!
Thank you!
Actually great game and indeed we share some similarities between the both of our games!
The gameplay is hectic and fun, the platforming is good (although I feel like the hitboxes are a little harsh), visuals are lovely, its really nice youve managed to cram in a handful story pieces, level presets (although I would love to see more I know how hard good level design is and I suck at it) and also have such high polish overall, and the fact youve made this in your own engine is also very cool!
Thanks! :D
Amazing game. The visuals are great, and the audio complements the game's vibe perfectly. The controls are so precise that I was never mad at the game itself for missing a jump. I found the time spent with the family really endearing. Almost all the time, when going out with the family, something unfortunate would happen, like the son falling or mixing sugar with salt, but they always laughed it off. The next day, I tried to get money by jumping into the void and was legitimately sad about the ending. Great job!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
On the last seconds of job I got knocked down by a spike to my death. Great jam theme integration, I saw a lot of money packs in different spots, void, blocks above void, where you would need to sacriface yourself if you were in debt. Ending of not paying rent in time could be better, but I still liked it. I love this game, very fun to play, great UX, audio, visuals and everything, no bugs which I am not that suprised about. This is what you get when you know what you are doing. Props for making and using own game engine. Very polished and well made game for one person in this short time frame.
Thank you so much!
Very unique concept and Really impressive Visuals 😍😍
Thank you!!
With a smile like that, how can you not trust Morti?
Lmao
I really loved the visual style of the game! Some of the platforming levels felt confusing, but I also don't tend to play platformers, so it could be a skill issue. I did like the idea of the game though!
Thanks for giving it a go!
I enjoyed the premise and idea of the game but I cannot help but feel like the levels are repetitive and more so annoying then usefull. The animations are far too long for my taste too. Ive spent more time in transitions then I have in game.
Other then that its solid. t👍
Thank you for the feedback!
