Object
In this circus-themed version of Breakout, your job is to use careful aim top pop every last balloon, which stream quickly across the top of the screen. Two acrobats launch from a teeter-totter moving along the bottom. Move the teeter-totter back and forth to send those guys flying high. Press your action button when one acrobat is in the air if you want the teeter-totter to flip around.
Game Modes
Circus Atari has eight modes. In modes 3 and 4, your acrobat will bounce horizontally off of the balloons, making the game considerably easier for beginners. In modes 2, 4, 6 and 8, a row of barriers appears beneath the balloons repelling your acrobat.
Tip: Launching
Like the racquets in Pong, the teeter-totter in Circus Atari is divided into segments. Use this knowledge to adjust your launch angle.
Tip: Edge Shot
Try to position the teeter-totter so that your acrobats touch down on the very edge, and they will fly deep into the balloons; otherwise, they may not reach the balloons at all.
Tip: Wrong Side
If your acrobat lands in the center of the teeter-totter or on the low end, he will die.
