Platform game about a clown

Post by tuanhoangn »

Basic information:
I played this game on my Windows PC around 2008 but I think it was released way earlier. I remembered I used to struggle to play through a stage so much (kinda like my experience with Cuphead) and I spend hours to get through the third level. Never made it to the end tho =((

Details!
This is a 2D side-view platform game, where you play as a clown who runs through these stages where he must avoid obstacles and collect the four Aces (heart, club, diamond and spade) usually hidden in red balloons. I only remember the first map being in the woods and there is always these annoying-ass logs you have to jump over (I got hit by these logs a lot). And the third or fourth map is the is some place with lava, where there is dropping rocks as you run through them. There might be monsters in the map but mostly there are traps and obstacles in each map. The game time flow realistically, it does not stop until you lost your all your lives and start over =)))

Please help I try to find it everywhere and would love to play it again! The nostalgia is too much!

Right off the bat, I can only remember Charly the Clown, but it does not seem to match some of the details you describe.

MobyGames has a list of games with clowns (for all platforms), maybe yours is there too:

There's also a very obscure DOS shareware game called The Lost Clown:
