I never figured out what the difference between the tricks was! Gorgeous visuals and the audio does a great job at setting the creepy, insane mood.

I don't know if psychedelic is the right word here but it was the first one that came to my mind after completing it. I'm still quite speechless after that flying monkey.
I did not really understand how doing the tricks works, it is not very clear what pressing the Z/X/C does.
Very nice presentation though, and nice idea with the "insanity endgame"
There I was thinking - oh cool, a weird rhythm action game. Then I went insane.
Make more of this, it could be truly amazing.

The thing with the tricks is that when you perform one particular trick it attracts the walkers that have clothes of one certain color.
2spooky 4 me!
But also nice graphics, and sound!
Urgh I hate clowns but love this game. It was actually really dark XD
I loved it, the game in general and the insanity mode is a good idea !
Short and sweet, with cute graphics. The slight frustration of tricking coming out so slowly in normal mode really contrasted insanity mode. Insanity mode for the win.
I really like to squish people with my big clown hands. Good job!
The web link pointing to Dropbox did not load. However the integrated version in this page did. It's an interesting game I enjoyed much :) Great work. Only 1 problem I had in the gameplay: It's hard to hit the enemies when you are in insane mode.
It's always good to see more C2 games in the jam (we made ours with it too).
Wow, awesome game man!
Awesome game, I still find clowns creepy!
I liked the graphics and the audio, but I wasn't really sure what different tricks did. The Daytona-like 'oh yea' sound made me chuckle.
However, the insanity mode light effect really hurt my eyes, you should slow it down and explain more what the tricks did.
Now I need to get the image of this clown out of my head *shivers*
Very fun, very funny (especially the sane mode). Graphism do their works.
And the maniability is well thought.
There's something strangely fun about luring someone in with a trick and then smashing them like a grape! ;) I'd say you nailed the theme and the mood!
3000! Yes great stuff :D
Quite creepy. I like the audio and you set up a great mood. The gameplay was confusing though. It was also tough to hit people.
Overall great job!
Hilarious and beautiful !
Flashing screen is a bit hardcore but the game is great !
*Oh yea-ah!*
Haha, this game definitely would not help with the fear of clowns! The trippy music was pretty great in the insanity mode, and the game made me laugh as I was running around squashing people.
It was a little hard to aim and time the claps in insanity mode, but I think maybe that's just kinda part of the difficulty.
Not sure what the different tricks did, if anything.
This was really creepy! Nice work on this game! The only thing I have to mention is, that it was a bit hard to get any attacks in insane mode!
Great looking game! I figured out each trick works on a specific color of walker after a bit. Fun little game! I liked the "OH YEAAHA", I wish there was more audio. Clear instructions on controls, simple focused mechanic. Great entry!
Scary clown D:
I've heard that since clowns are a popular fear, people like to say they're afraid of them even if they're not, just to be a part of the group. This game creates an actual fear and might induce trauma on a mass scale. Graphics were solid and I was overall impressed!
Wow. That clown is crazy! It's quite a crazy game!
A stress relieving mini game. You are insane and your entry is great. Take some stars, son!
Love the evil clown. I just love the craziness. Fun and crazy game.
This is one of the better games I've seen. This should come with an epilepsy warning! I really liked the concept of the game and it is well executed. The graphics/audio combo makes for a really eerie and retro atmosphere that I really dig. The weird ocean/boardwalk setting is just weird in a good way. The sound effect of the clown is disturbing. I would expect some kind of goofy laugh, but the "OH YEAH-UH!" is somehow scarier. Great stuff! Would make a great arcade cabinet.
Ah, a scary clown game. XD Well done! I included it in part 15 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/De5lc4U-4hg
The best part is the "Oh yeah!". Also, the epilepsy warning might be needed here.
The title screen is pretty great, as is the background... But the rest of the graphics are pretty inconsistent... There's no single style in them. The floor seems to be a texture mapped to a 3D plane, the passersby are really pixelated and the clown is in a higher res pixel art with outlines... Although each of those are great, they don't mesh well...
The audio was great at setting the game's mood! You guys also did great getting how scary a clown is... XD
This clown is so creepy

Difficult to get very far, but still fun nonetheless.
