About the Game

Juggles is a clown recognised by his expirience in juggling routines. He tries his best to impress his public incorporating unusual objects in the performances he does and making use of the objects balancing techniques he himself created.

During the game, the player can move around from left to right while shooting the objects in their hands to the air. This simple loop game allows the user to play casually and develope the required skill set to better perform at the game.

The idea of Coulrofobia is for the player to constantly juggle the objects that are thrown to them from the sides of the stage to acumulate score points and claim the in-game achievments. There are a lot of different objects and some of them have quirks of their own. Interacting with them allow the player to explore the aspects of the game and enjoy the different outcomes they might encounter.

To better understand the game here is a brief tutorial with the key aspects:

  • You can move around from left to right with A and D or left and right arrow keys.

  • You can throw objects into the air with W or the up arrow key.

  • Other than the first three objects the player has at the beginning of a playthrough, you can't have more than one object in your hands.

  • There are different types of objects:

    • Light: Tap once the throw key to throw it, no big deal.

    • Heavy: Tap a lot the throw key to throw it. If you have no energy, you can't throw it. Receiving a Heavy object with no energy will kill you.

    • Dangerous: Tap once the throw key to throw it. It can kill you if you receive it from the wrong side. Like in real life.

    • Edible: Tap once the throw key to throw it. It will rot if you throw it too much. Eat it with S or down arroy key.
