CIRCUSAR

WELCOME TO THE DEADLIEST SHOW ON EARTH!

Circusar is a fast-paced action roguelike where you fight off waves of enemies while struggling to keep your balance on a unicycle. As a clown, staying alive takes more than beating your enemies: you'll need to dodge incoming fire and hold your balance, all while keeping the crowd entertained. Never let them get bored: if the rating hits zero, the show is over!

Key Features

• Balance & Perform — Stay upright on a unicycle while fighting for your life. Losing your balance is just as deadly as any enemy attack.
• Keep the Crowd Entertained — The crowd always wants a spectacle! Chain combos, dodge attacks at the last second, and clear enemy waves in style to keep the rating soaring. A bored crowd is just as dangerous as the monsters on stage.
• Wild Synergies (200+ Items) — Collect items between waves that bend the game's rules. Combine abilities into endless combinations and create a symphony of destruction that clears the screen. No two shows are ever alike!
• Deadly Enemies — Face dozens of brutal bosses and a wide variety of enemies designed to test your reflexes. Dodge attacks, survive bombardments raining down on you, and stay alert to the show's deadly stakes.

Circusar started out at the Karadeniz Game Jam, where it took first place under the theme of "Balance." The core idea was to build a top-down roguelike where you have to physically balance on a unicycle while also keeping the crowd's entertainment rating high. We wanted to make sure that just surviving the enemies wasn't enough; you actually have to put on a good show for the audience.

We saw a lot of potential in the jam version, so we decided to take it further and build it out into a full game. We've been working on it since July 2026. To expand the gameplay, we added an item system that lets players create interesting combos, along with a variety of new bosses, enemies, and different branching paths to make every run feel unique.
