Ayo the Clown

developed by Cloud M1

“With Ayo the Clown, we’d like to reintroduce you to the incredibly fun platformer games of the ‘90s where platforming is accompanied by an inspiring and memorable story.

“In Ayo’s hometown, things are generally peaceful.  He juggles in the park with his talented circus dog, Bo, hangs out at the carnival, and longs after the shoemaker’s daughter.  Until one day, his dog goes missing! You play as Ayo, your not-so-average clown embarking on an epic journey in search of his missing (or perhaps ran away, or kidnapped?!) best friend and beloved dog…

“Ayo the Clown is about courage, love, friendship, and the amazing things that happen when you never give up. “
