Play Clown-o-Mania Online

Clown-o-Mania came out on the Amiga in 1989 from Starbyte Software. It was one of those isometric action-puzzlers that felt right at home on the platform, sitting alongside other colorful, maze-like games of the era. You don't hear much about it now, but it had a certain charm with its clear visuals and straightforward premise.

You control Beppo the clown, navigating 82 isometric screens to collect all the bouncing balls and diamonds while avoiding a variety of enemies. The main actions involve jumping across gaps, climbing ladders, and making use of temporary power-ups like guns for shooting foes or special jumps for reaching high platforms. You also interact with environmental elements such as pyramids to block enemy paths, teleporters for quick travel, and color-coded bonuses that require matching collected items. The pacing is methodical, and the difficulty comes from planning routes under pressure; it feels like a tense, thinking person's arcade game where every screen is a new logistical puzzle.
