User reviews

Needs update

I have been playing this for years and now it will not work on ios 11. UPDATE IT PLEASE.

No Splat = No Fun

This game makes you jump through all sorts of "freemium" hoops before you start playing. No, I do not want notifications from "Circus Atari!" The game bears little resemblance to the Atari 2600 version, and when you finally die, the stupid clown doesn't even land on his head and go splat! Uninstall.

Nice game ruined by freemiums

The game itself is fun and unique, but words of warning:

1) don't be misled by the title; this is NOT the same Circus Atari that you played on your Video Computer System. Totally different game with different game play.

2) It's a "freemium" game. Yuck.

Super annoying.

Would be fun if they didn't try to get you to buy every 3 seconds. You can't let your small kids play the game due to all the spammy ads they throw in your face. Deleted.

Crashes

This app always crashes so I had to delete it. I wish it would have loaded.
