If you agree, send me an email to this address: kaldaya@hotmail.fr and I contact you. Thank you. :) Posted by Fritzi on 2009-01-12 at 11:22 (IP logged): Excellent game, one of the best dialogues I've seen! The link given above is broken, but the game can still be downloaded from the following home page obviously associated with the author: http://mushroom.chickennation.com/#cirque Posted by CapCase on 2007-01-27 at 05:34 (IP logged): Great Game! Play it! This has to be one of the funniest adventure games I have played. And I have played quite a few very funny games. It has very good graphics, great puzzles and an unusual story. The characters are very interesting and unusual. The player character is very unusual. In fact he is almost unlikable. Almost. In my opinion the author of the game did a great job of pushing the player character's arrogant attitude to the limit without taking it over it. He isn't a likable character but you don't hate him either. At least I didn't. He is very funny. Of course, the fact that this game is pure farce helps. The only fault I could find with this game is, as has been mentioned, some of the exits are hard to find. Posted by Tristan_75 on 2005-04-26 at 22:45 (IP logged): I hope this isn't a double post. If so, then I am sorry. I loved this game. The jokes, and ironic humor was well done. I even enjoyed a good laugh at the credits. You have great talent. I just wish it lasted longer. If you haven't played this game yet, then do yourself a favor, and download it A.S.A.P. ~T Posted by Tristan_75s on 2005-04-26 at 22:40 (IP logged): Thank you so much for this game. I loved the jokes, and irony humor you used. I even liked the credits. Just wished it lasted longer. If you haven't played this game yet, then do yourself a favor. Download it A.S.A.P. Posted by Svartberg on 2005-04-24 at 09:51 (IP logged): GREAT Game !! a superb idea of antihero, nonstop humor and a very witty plot. I recommend anyone who wanna wander to another world tonight to download it and play it with a nice cup of hot chocco :] Posted by Abisso on 2005-04-20 at 03:45 (IP logged): One of the most humourous adventures ever! A perfectly whole-balanced game, with a lot of unexpected situations, and, moreover, a fabulous Monkey Island feeling! Posted by egalotron on 2005-01-05 at 15:55 (IP logged): Wow, what an outstandingly original plot! Really loved your game, Kinoko, though I am still waiting to see the circus' first show... You're surely not interested in me commenting on that one bad point there is, as there might have been 23362 people yet who have pointed it out, but...it's really hard to find the exits sometimes... But nevermind, this was REALLY, really a great playing experience. egalotron Posted by Marq on 2004-11-04 at 13:33 (IP logged): Fantastic game!! Waiting for the sequel! Posted by SSH on 2004-09-08 at 05:58 (IP logged): Finally got around to finishing this game, and it's hilarious and excellent and imaginative. And don't skip the end credits! Posted by fov on 2004-09-03 at 13:21 (IP logged): Great graphics and the Alexander was one of the best main characters I've ever seen in an adventuregame. The game's only drawback was the too easy puzzles which consisted mostly of finding object A and giving it to person B, thus getting object C and so forth. Posted by tweety on 2004-07-14 at 06:51 (IP logged): wow, awesome game. there's just one small thing that I didn't like: the room areas that took you to another room were pretty small and their name wasn't displayed, so sometimes I had to look for them by clicking every inch of the screen. but that game is really cool, nice jokes, great graphics, congratulations! Posted by Zor on 2004-07-03 at 04:22 (IP logged): Hehe, very cool game. Keep it up! Posted by Quinny on 2004-07-02 at 20:11 (IP logged): Awesome game! I haven't laughed so much at a game's diaglogue in years. The graphics are very similar to LucasArts style and very well done. I loved all the digs that were taken at various things. Posted by Mr Frisby on 2004-05-29 at 21:34 (IP logged): Play it, You won't be dissapionted. Posted by Jane on 2004-05-20 at 11:34 (IP logged): A real must to play! Absolutely brill game Posted by Angulique on 2004-05-15 at 17:18 (IP logged): This game is how I found AGS, actually! I downloaded it from HotU because I thought it sounded really cool and I was not disappointed! A very funny and fun game! Though I do wish it were longer! Posted by auhsor on 2004-05-14 at 19:33 (IP logged): I liked it very much. Another quality AGS game. I do feel it needed more plish, especially with the graphics. Still a great game, and I reccomend it. Posted by lissette311 on 2004-05-08 at 13:36 (IP logged): Great experience, amazing gameplay, interesting characters. A must play. Posted by Totoro on 2004-04-22 at 15:45 (IP logged): One of my all-time-ags-favourites, great in atmosphere, great humour and a storyline told in a very professional way. And it was ALL done by Rebecca, she must be a genius! :) Posted by Jane on 2004-04-15 at 12:44 (IP logged): Absolutely brilliant game.........everytime I thought I had finished it, I was just whizzed to another place! Posted by big bro on 2004-04-14 at 05:49 (IP logged): Th exits are a bit hard to fine at times and several interactions are missing, but the well-written dialogue and enjoyable environment more than make up for this game's minor shortcomings.
