We were lucky to be provided with a review code for Ayo The Clown quite early on, which allowed plenty of time to play through at a leisurely pace, and given the time we’ve had it, it’s one we keep coming back to, especially for my youngest. ![]() It’s a relatively big game, too – if you consider the number of treasures to collect and the upgrades if you feel inclined to unlock them. There are no timers and generally speaking, Ayo is a bit of a slowpoke, but that’s quite refreshing compared to some of the more recent platformers released. It’s pretty relaxing in some respects, and the levels of cute are quite infectious without having the urge to hurl in a bucket. The youngest (four) loved it and would frequently ask to play it, though not having that jump option early on meant it was down to daddy to complete a few areas.Īs for me, I enjoyed the game. As expected, the eldest wasn’t a fan and found it too baby-like. While doing this Ayo The Clown review, I roped in my daughters to play. Older gamers, or perhaps those looking for a challenge, may find this a little too simplistic. ![]() But this is one of the few minor issues with the game. On a couple of occasions, the movements were so slow that I incurred a few too many deaths for a seemingly effortless challenge – the response time, in particular, was just too slow. Other boss battles aren’t so exciting and a little sluggish. Predominantly easy battles that only need a few hits, the attack patterns will change each phase, showcasing a good use of the 2.5D elements – notably an early battle where an enemy rolls back and forth into the background and foreground. Like A BossĪs a platform game, you have to save bosses for the end of each world, and Ayo The Clown delivers here. Besides Ayo the clown being a kleptomaniac, these gems can be used to upgrade things such as a bigger balloon or more health, but it takes a fair amount of time to earn, so perhaps it is worth dismissing the first time around. Just push up next to a wall, and if a secret area, the wall will disappear, leading to a room full of gems. There are secret locations galore – simple ones, mind. Said treasures are collectables scattered in every level and entirely optional, but it’s hard not to at least attempt a 100% collection rate. Ayo’s new abilities are introduced in a timely manner, allowing you to explore a fair amount, but note that you may end up coming back to an area once you unlock new skills to reach new treasures. Other skills include being able to drive a tank and even a helicopter. Subsequent skills and tricks will follow, such as a balloon that will carry him just that tad further over a chasm or a little higher than his jump will reach. Instead of jumping, he’ll walk on appropriate platforms to launch him above until he completes a sidequest to learn the new skill. It’s interesting to note that he doesn’t start with any skills such as jump, which is fundamental in a platformer, but it works well. The areas he’ll explore are nice and colourful without going overboard, and the variety in the game is pretty good, too. Ayo isn’t particularly cute – he looks a little like a deformed marshmallow with a face on it, but the cutscenes – and brilliant narration – levelled him out as a decent chap. As mentioned, it doesn’t break any new ground, but what it does, it does it well. Ayo The Clown ReviewĪyo The Clown is a side-scrolling platform game, and yes, one of those innovative 2.5D titles we began with. Any clues where Bo has gone will be uncovered as you go along. As a player, you don’t have to do much detective work, just show up for each world and subsequent stage and get through to the end. All the evidence points towards a kidnapping, so Ayo decides to head out, speak to the locals and find out where he’s gone.
