This game was really fun! The only feedback I have is that the enemies have too much health and are too easily avoidable, so it was much easier to just go passed them rather than deal with them and also the jump feels like it goes really high.
The art was really great and the animations are really nice, I also really enjoyed the platforming segment of the boss fight! It was really fun and tricky but felt good when I worked out how to do it.
The balloons working as check points and incorporation of clown props was really nice.
one other thing is that the "restart" button could be in a less easy-to-click spot since I accidentally pressed it instead of the "load to last checkpoint" button on two occasions.
Great job on getting this game finished for the game jam :) you did so well!
