It's audition night at one of the toughest circuses in the world. You've heard the circus is looking for a clown, but not just any clown, they want someone who is also an acrobatic expert! The audition is simple enough.
    Standing on a 100-foot-high platform, you must jump across numerous rising balloons to get to a platform on the other side of the circus tent, and when you get there, you have to try to make it back again-but don't fall, because this circus doesn't use nets.
    The game starts with you, the clown, standing on the platform at the left side of the screen. You must jump from balloon to balloon to get to the platform on the right side of the screen, then make it back to the platform on the left again. You control the clown with a joystick. To move left or right, simply move the joystick in the corresponding direction. To jump, press the fire button, and move the joystick in the direction you wish to jump.
    You have a choice of a short jump or a long jump. For a short jump press the fire button, and move the joystick either left or right. For a long jump, press the fire button, and move the joystick either diagonal right or diagonal left. When you land on a balloon, you can jump off, drop off the side to a balloon below you or just stand there and enjoy the ride to the top of the screen.
    A status line at the top of the screen displays your score, the level you are currently on, and the number of clowns you have remaining. You get 500 points for each level you complete. Also, a bonus dollar sign will occasionally rise up on one of the balloons. Touching it gives you a 100-point bonus.
    Crazy Clown Jumper has nine levels of difficulty. You'll advance in level every time you make it completely around. That is, jumping from the left platform to the right, then back again. At Level 2, the platforms will begin to slowly rise and fall. At Level 3, they'll also begin to expand and contract. The speed of the balloons and platforms will increase as you progress to higher levels, and the number of balloons appearing on screen will decrease.
    You begin the game with four men. If you make it to Level 6. you'll gain an extra man.
