Don’t worry, we have the original Circus Atari through Atari’s Greatest Hits app, but this is a really exciting game! Good thing we made 6000+ about a week ago, because they added monkeys to the game! We have to say, one of the sounds is EXACTLY like the one those "creepy ‘Wimpanzees’" make in the Tiny Zoo Friends app!
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.
Funnish game. Basically like mega jump. We wouldnt get it though cuz it glitches too much.
This game makes you jump through all sorts of "freemium" hoops before you start playing. No, we 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.
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.
This game is fun eh, just crashes too much. Please fix we really like this game.
We have been playing this for years and now it will not work on ios 11. UPDATE IT PLEASE.
This app always crashes so we had to delete it. We wish it would have loaded.
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.
We like this game. We don’t love it. 1. OpenFeint? Yuck. Keeps telling us we have a friend request when we 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. We’re ready to give you our money of you promise to stop annoying us. 3. You have to suffer through simple instructions before EVERY GAME. Dude. We get it already. We’re 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).
Its a really fun and addictive game that we can also lets our kids play. It keeps that entertained for hours!
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, we 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.
Great game just needs more colorful clowns and objects like a REAL circus. Most importantly, it crashes on our 4s. May have to change our rating!
We were hoping for a lot more from Atari. Crashes constantly, yes rebooted after install. Full screen forced ads that easily draws young children away.
It crashed every 30 seconds of gameplay;0.
Crashed after 30 seconds of gameplay!
We love infinite play games and this one tops them all!!
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.
Fun game but stop asking us if we want to buy a net or keep falling. Or make it an option to ask or not ask. Very annoying.
For those of us old school Atari fans who love the classics this is nothing like the old version we all loved and missed. This could be a good game but the mechanics are just too slow and the lag a killer. We’re really hoping for some updates because it could be good but it just needs more than a bunch of balloons. We’ll be watching this one and hoping for more. Not too happy with the update. It still has poor controls and what is with the ads all of a sudden? COME ON!
The update is awful. An ad every time you hit play, really!
So, the update says that it fixed the bug, WRONG very MAD…
We find it very dishonest and misleading not to disclose the update introduces in game ads. It seems the bug that was fixed is that Atari forgot to put the ads the first time around.
This game has sunk to a new all-time low. As if the pay to win in-app purchases and slow glitchy game play weren’t bad enough, the latest update adds in-game ads. Don’t waste your time. Move along there is nothing to see here!
Using itouch 4th gen. We’ve never played the game because it will not start. Even the update does not work.
Intent usarlo con un iPod 4 gen y no termina de cargar, tena ganas de jugarlo :(
This is the worst game ever don’t get it if you want to change circus clowns it doesn’t work our opinion to you is don’t get this game it stinks. The first we played it was fun but then we had it for a awhile and now it’s horrible.
Easy to play and enjoyable family fun.
It has audio problems and the loading is too slow. If they add online multiplayer like Doodle Jump this game could be in the top 25.
Very simple game that is still challenging.
The tilt control is really fun and the degree of difficulty ratchets up as you get higher.
Good game to kill boredom, time killer!
Being a HUGE Circus Atari fan on the 2600 we were so excited to hear about this game coming. However, we set our expectations low and knew without a paddle there’s no way Circus Atari would ever play right. So Atari took a different approach and based the game on the Doodle Jump style "how high can you get" type of game. Not very creative but in this case it works. Sort of. Basically you bounce, bounce and bounce higher and higher collecting coins as you go. That’s about it. They added a safety net feature which allows you to save yourself in case you fall and miss a balloon. Now this is where it goes sour. They start you off with 5 nets. Nice! Well not really, because that’s all you get. If you want more you have to cash in the coins you collect and buy more nets at the in-game store which can take a long time to do. Or you can purchase coins via an in app purchase and with those coins buy more nets. We don’t mind so much the store concept but really Atari at least give us 1 net as default each game. We hate playing 10 times just to maybe be able to buy 1 net. Also alternate controls would be nice. You play tilting the device. You can’t change it to buttons or anything else. We actually found it easier to play our iPad upside down for some reason. Another in game store purchase you can make is for different clowns. Male and female are free. The others you must use your coins to buy. Is there any advantage to purchase other characters? It doesn’t say. We would think it would be an upgrade as the new characters are expensive, like you can jump higher, fall slower, etc but something tells us it’s just an aesthetic change. More add-ons are to come as of this review the game just shows question marks for future upgrades. We’ll see! The game is free, and it’s fun, but way too similar to what’s out there already. Could be better.
Please fix the stuttering music during the load screen. We are getting this on the latest iPad and while it doesn’t ruin the game, it lessens the experience. Fix it and we’ll give it another star.
We don’t normally complain about free apps, but we downloaded this one to see if it would be fun for our kids. We tried it out for a day on our iPad2 and it worked wonderfully. BUT once we loaded it on our kids’ iPod Touch 4th generation and iPod Touch 3rd generation, it would kick them out before it finished loading. The app is useless at this point because it was for them and if they can’t play it then there isn’t much sense in having it. One the glitch is fixed I’d love to reload it on their iPods.
Don’t call it "Circus Atari" when it isn’t "Circus Atari". When we first saw the title, we were super excited. The original Atari 2600 game, which required a paddle controller, would adapt perfectly to touch mechanics. For those unfamiliar with the original, you controlled a see-saw, moving it back and forth as two acrobats jumped as high as they could to pop rows of balloons floating overhead. Your job was to make sure the falling acrobat landed on the empty end of the see-saw, which would catapult the other acrobat into the air. Not only was it an original idea back then, but we miraculously haven’t even seen anyone rip off the idea. But instead of updating the classic, the lazy programers create yet another Doodle Jump clone that has absolutely nothing special about it. Lame.
Loads slowly and the menu is unresponsive. We wish atari test these games with latest iPod, iPad, and iPhones before uploading.
Takes forever to load, terrible lag, and horrible controls. It’s almost impossible to steer your clown after you’ve hit him a half a dozen times to take off. Once they get these issues fixed it could be a fun game (only reason it gets 2 stars instead of only one)
This game will not run on an iPod Touch (4G). It crashes right after the opening splash screen. Seems to be a communication error with OpenFeint. It DOES load, and play on iPhone 4S. BUT, we’re not all that fond of the game anyway. How many of these "freemium" pay to play games must we deal with in the app market? We’re hoping a great (& moral) developer realizes the market potential here. Paying for a game, with no added expenses, should be the standard — not the exception. Apple (iTunes) and all these greedy developers will regret this trend one day. Maybe it’s time for a customer boycott?? … Enough of this FREE, but very expensive garbage, eh?
An okay game that suffers from very loose controls. There’s not much depth to the game either. It is the same thing every play and no upgrades are available at the moment. Like some of the other Atari games, this one pushes the IAP a little too much.
It’s really upsetting that it won’t start up -_- fix it!!
When we saw this title come up we downloaded it on the spot without even looking at the screenshots… We figured even if they revamped the original they’d include an alternate "classic play" option or something. How much space could that take up as part of a larger app, anyway? This is nothing like the original. It’s a rehash of a zillion other new iPhone games. Circus Atari WAS an original. Why do companies have SUCH a disconnected view of what their fans want??
It crashes when starts loading:(
… And annoyingly long load times. FAIL!
