About the Game

Story

Marsel is an alien who has land crashed on Earth and needs to repair his spaceship to return to his planet. However, the parts he needs for the repair are found only at Circuses on Earth! Not only that, but some spare parts are only available in the past or the future!

Marsel will need to search for these parts while avoiding being discovered and caught by the Earthlings inhabiting the Circus, but all of them are highly trained performers! Marsel will face many challenging obstacles and enemies in this exciting platform game.

Will you help Marsel complete his mission and return safely home?
