About the Game

GET BLOODIED.

ASCEND THE LADDER.

SLAUGHTER THE BIG BOSS.

ONLY THEN, MAY YOU ESCAPE THIS HELL.

CATCH THE CLOWN is a surrealist "action real-time-strategy" adventure set within a hostile 90s art program.

It is inspired by classic software like Mario Paint, KidPix, and Desktop Destroyer. The gameplay during battles is a frantic push-and-pull between order and chaos. It could be described as "Fruit Ninja meets Trauma Center, but it's also somehow a tower defense game? Yes, I shrugged while saying that." Place your different tools in the canvas area to attack enemies, such as the Lighter and Knife Tool. Defend your precious Heart from incoming attacks using the Bubble Wand and other defense-oriented tools.

Experience a story about breaking out from the abusive, rotten system we're trapped in together. Join the heroes Dot, Dash, G, and Dog. Meet other characters along the way, each with their own inner complexities and strong personalities. Follow your heart.
