Description
Solo project and first game ever by GrimClownJay, Curtains the Clown is a retro-inspired side-scrolling adventure. Use simple platforming mechanics like wall jumps and double jumping to guide Curtains through a treacherous 2D world in search of a way to continue (or end) his journey. Hidden away in seemingly unreachable places are 6 items that hold the keys to various outcomes. Find and bring an item to its corresponding NPC/world object to discover what fate will become of our clown friend.
The Plot
Curtains is an alien life form who inexplicably resembles a rather scary looking clown. For this reason, he was exiled from his home planet and forced to find somewhere else to make his own. While passing through a distant galaxy, he made an emergency landing when his ship's fuel cells ran dry. Now stranded in a far away world, Curtains must find fuel for his ship and return to space, but perhaps there is another way to continue his journey... or meet his end before it even begins?
