## What is High As A Clown?

Rise through the skies on a bundle of balloons! High As A Clown is a retro pixel art arcade game where one tap launches you from the carnival midway toward the stars.

SIMPLE TO LEARN, IMPOSSIBLE TO MASTER
Tilt to steer. Tap to boost. Dodge obstacles. Collect balloons. How high can you climb?

THREE EPIC ZONES
   Carnival — Weave past tent poles and spinning rides
   Clouds — Navigate lightning bolts and gusty winds
   Space — Dodge satellites and asteroids on your way to the ISS

FEATURES
  • Accelerometer + tap controls that feel just right
  • Pixel art visuals with smooth parallax scrolling
  • Balloons act as your lives — collect more to survive longer
  • Progressive difficulty that keeps every run fresh
  • Game Center leaderboards — compete with friends worldwide
  • Three distinct zones with unique obstacles and atmosphere
  • Epic ISS docking cutscene when you reach the top

Can a clown from the carnival really make it to space? There's only one way to find out.
