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.

To glitchy

Funnish game. Basically like mega jump. I wouldnt get it though cuz it glitches too much.

:)

This game is fun eh, just crashes too much. Please fix I really like this game

Light fun

Circus Atari is good light fun. Takes only a few minutes to play, so it's a good option for something quick if you have only a few minutes. It's like Atari's version of Doodle Jump.

A pretty exciting game!

Don't worry, I have the original Circus Atari through Atari's Greatest Hits app, but this is a really exciting game! Good thing I made 6000+ about a week ago, because they added monkeys to the game! I have to say, one of the sounds is EXACTLY like the one those "creepy 'Wimpanzees'" make in the Tiny Zoo Friends app!

Needs Improvement - Could be a Winner

I like this game. I don't love it.

1. OpenFeint? Yuck. Keeps telling me I have a friend request when I do not in the middle of gameplay. Atari included Game Center support, so this layer is borderline pointless.

2. Can't disable / buy-out of ads. They throw something in your face after EVERY GAME. Not cool. I'm ready to give you my money of you promise to stop annoying me.

3. You have to suffer through simple instructions before EVERY GAME. Dude. I get it already.

I'm a fan of the original Circus Atari. Can't say this version is anything more than a Doodle Jump knock-off, but it's got potential (if they fix the aforementioned annoyances).

Craptastic

I was hoping for a lot more from Atari. Crashes constantly, yes rebooted after install. Full screen forced ads that easily draws young children away.

Crash crash and crash again

It crashed every 30 seconds of gameplay;0

Shader

Crashed after 30 seconds of gameplay!

Atari reinvents their Circus

In the ever growing library of vintage game reboots. This game is most satisfying primarily because it's free. Sure, it's a Doodle Jump clone, but it's fun. The updates are cool, whether the different clowns enhance the gameplay, I can't tell, but the novelty fun is there.

The only fault, besides occasional crashing, is the sound design. First on the clown selection screen, there is too much sound which results in an audio mess. Second, during play all the clowns sound the same while vocalizing umps crashing upward through balloons.

Addictive game, great for kids

Its a really fun and addictive game that I can also lets my kids play. It keeps that entertained for hours!

Read!

Great game just needs more colorful clowns and objects like a REAL circus. Most importantly, it crashes on my 4s. May have to change my rating!

Fixes in 1.2 makes it worth a download

Despite being called Circus Atari, it's basically a reskin of the various "jump higher" games out there. It's like if someone took Angry Birds, changed the birds into frogs, and called the game "Frogger". You play as a clown whose goal is to fly up, bounce off balloons and springs, and collect coins.
Version 1.2 looks like they're working on fixing things, which is nice to see. Chests and keys now appear in an order that makes sense, the alternate clowns now work properly, and the layout of the sections has been altered greatly so there's a lot more treasure to pick up, making it feel much more rewarding to continue on upward.
There's more ways to get coins in general, including a "daily reward" for opening the game at least once every day, and sponsor rewards commonly seen in free iOS games, which seems to replace the full screen ad that was bothering everyone. But it does lead to the game's remaining problem. There still isn't much to actually spend the coins on! Probably we'll be getting this in the next release.

Good game

Fun game but stop asking me if I want to buy a net or keep falling.
Or make it an option to ask or not ask. Very annoying

Better than Doodle Jump!

I love infinite play games and this one tops them all!!
