(Note: The Pico-8 loading animation is built in to Pico-8 and is not part of the game. Please don't penalise my black and white score for this!)

Come one, come all, to the greatest show on earth! See our daredevil unicyclist deftly leap through hoops, bravely dodge rolling barrels and desperately try to break out of this unicycling hellscape he has been trapped in for what feels like an eternity!

You only need one button to play! X! Don't bother touching the others!

See if you can beat my score of 150!

A short game made in Pico-8 for Black and White Jam #8. The theme was "loop".

I loved the little chat with the dev while you progresses.

My highscore was 380, and I think I'm the clown God!

ok i give up how do you encounter the clown god? please advise i (and my housemate) have pressed every key on my keyboard and reached a high score of like 350 and still no release from this unicycle purgatory. also this game remains enjoyable as it was when i checked it out during the jam!

Hi there!

Hit a score of higher than 210 (I think) and then press the left arrow key and hold it.

We all get to sit shotgun in Clown God's clown car. Amen.

Thank you Clown God for releasing me from this purgatory.
