How does the game fit the theme?
You play as a clown performing an increasingly chaotic circus act. Each stage adds a new minigame that must be played simultaneously, building on previous tasks. If you fail even one, it’s game over! We took the theme “nothing can go wrong” literally—every trick must be executed flawlessly. While each task is simple on its own, juggling them all at once will make you feel like a real circus performer!

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

I could feel the clown's expression in my soul when the game cranked it up :') ended up only getting 106s because I neglected the dang juggling. I love how aesthetically cohesive the game is, great job!

This was a ton of fun! I agree with the other commenter that the ball bounce physics felt really nice. The individual gameplay elements were fairly simple but they all tied up together really well, especially with the theme and visuals. Really loved the clown illustration

Great job!

This is really cute. I loved the art and the music was good too. The ball bounce physics felt nice, I could control it's motion pretty well.

That's a simple concept but the chaos adding up more and more made it super engaging!

72 was my highscore. Great job, I had a fun time!
