It is also the perfect game for speedrunners and I do expect to see some serious completion times on the game. Even while writing this Ayo the Clown review I’m just itching to get back into it and complete it 100%. Some levels even hiding secrets so there is always something to go back to a previous level for something you missed. There are tons of collectibles to collect with six in each level. I know I missed over half of what the game had to offer. LongevityĪfter spending a good 12 hours playing and completing my first walkthrough. But Ayo the Clown does a great job in the graphics. The lighting doesn’t clash which is what you tend to find in these kinds of games. So bright and colorful with each stage making some of the artwork a sight to behold. With each level getting you in the mood with its kooky tunes. The sounds and music are what you would expect from a cute little indie platformer. I experienced absolutely nothing wrong in either department. Graphics and AudioĪfter playing the game for many hours and I do mean many hours. After playing Mario Bros for 30 years it just goes against my instinct that the B jumps and A runs. The only downfall I can give is the controls for run and jump are the other way around. It’s the platformer that just keeps on giving. It does remind me in many ways of Super Mario 3D World with the ability to ground pound and wall jump as well as slope slides but there are many more as well. From in towns to just randomly in a level with each granting a decent reward. Side quests are also littered everywhere. Nothing stands in the way of Ayo finding his dog. Jump in a tank for example or throw water balloons to even riding on a dinosaur. Some of the weapons you can find along the way are absolutely brilliant. You’re gonna need these upgrades later on as the boss fights get insane because they can be huge. You can buy upgrades for weapons or the balloon you have that help you get to higher places. Some are amusing while others are like what you find in a Christmas cracker.Īyo can also stop in towns on his adventures where you can spend the jewels you’ve been amassing through each level. Throughout each level, you’ll run into quirky NPCs that can either help you or you have to help them but more than likely they will just tell you a joke. With some levels giving you powerups or weapons or other means to help Ayo on his quest. The fun part about Ayo the Clown is that each level has its own little gimmick to help you progress. Until one day, Bo goes missing! and it’s up to us to help rescue the little lovable tike. Accompanied by his talented circus dog, Bo, Ayo juggles in the park, hangs out at the carnival, and longs after the Shoemaker’s granddaughter. In Ayo’s hometown, things are generally peaceful. GameplayĮvery now and then a game comes along that captures your heart and just puts a smile on your face and Ayo the Clown does just that.
But is it just the same as all the others? Do we have another Mario Bros clone or something that’s completely different? I’ve always been intrigued whenever an indie platformer is released.
