Cirque De Zale

[Skio]

Use the wolf's head on the little riding hood and give her basket to the pimp. I really don't remember next, but I DO remember that you'll use the rod much later. There's something else you must use on the pie.

[Skio]

Use the dog to capture the cat. The rest will be revealed.
The rod will be used much later.

I don't know if Rebecca is bitter against Europe in some regard but I thought that part was uncool...

Yes, I am. Europe ran over my cat and they won't give me back the balls I accidentally hit into their backyard. Stupid Europe.

^_^

[Snarky]

I have friends from Europe that don't speak that great of English yet but they're fun and funny people to hang with. I don't know if Rebecca is bitter against Europe in some regard but I thought that part was uncool...

Speaking for Europe, we really didn't mind.

Sorry about your cat, Rebecca. We tried to swerve, but it was too late. Maybe you shouldn't have let it running loose all over our streets.

I just finished and what a great game!!!  Not to hard and not to easy.  I really enjoyed it. 

[Kinoko]

I forgive you, Snarky- I mean, Europe. It was a poopy kind of cat anyway. Actually, i'm GLAD you ran over it!

BTW, thanks everyone again for all the kind words -_-

[voh]

It's a good game, definately. I liked the humour, but there are some issues I wish to mention, simply because I can.

- The insides of buildings shouldn't have rastered colours. Why? Don't know exactly, but it doesn't look good. The rest of the graphics are definately above average, but those rasters were... A breach, to say the least.
- The second part, on the island, seems to have been rushed and was a bit too short. It was a shame that it was so easy to find the martini glass, hat and umbrella. Even though I liked the fact that Zale said "this is going to be difficult" and then proved to be actually easier than finding a sock on your foot, he didn't respond as... satisfying as I would've liked.

But then again, I'm a naggy old bastard, who happens to be from Europe, and not regarding my patriot feelings, the Zurope joke was a cheap shot

Hello, I kept mulling over downloading this game and finally decided to do so. The circus idea didn't really appeal to me, but I am sure glad that I did! I have to say this is now my second favourite AGS game. It has to be number one for comedic dialouge though. Had me laughing the whole way through. Especially the bit about the princess at the end.
Congrats on making such an awesome game you really should feel proud. Can't wait to play more of your games in the future.
Cheers.

I'm glad you eventually gave in to your innermost desires... er, well, I'm glad you eventually decided to download it anyway ^_^ Glad you liked it!

Thanks for the comments, voh. I was annoyed the end had to be so short too, but I'd already spent more time than I wanted on it by that stage Like I've said before though, when I make the sequel, I'll try to make it the way I think it needs to be made regardless of the amount of time it takes.

I've heard a lot about this game but I too wasn't convinced on the whole circus idea (sorry  ).

And I hate clowns... that's not a job to be proud of.

Er, anyway... I downloaded Cirque de Zale and I gotta say it's bloody good
I love the humour and the style - it reminds me a lot of Simon The Sorcerer, which is a good thing...

Keep up the good work, I look forward to playing the sequel or any other games you make.

10/10

I really loved this game a lot. It seemed to be missing a few animations here and there and it could have used more variety in music and better sound, but the characters and art were amazing. I really loved the humor in this game, and the story. I can't wait for a second.

[SSH]

I watched "Big Fish" over the weekend and the bit where Ewan McGregor is cleaning up Elephant poo at the circus reminded me of Cirque du Zale. Was there any inspiration there?

[Kinoko]

I haven't seen it, so... no! ^_^ (phew!)

Hey there - this was the first game I tried after finding this site. And it's good! I was surprised how much I really liked it, considering that, for whatever reason, I was fully expecting to hate and be embarressed by it. For the most part it felt like it was being written by a funny, clever person, as opposed to someone *trying* to be a funny, clever person (the difference between the first two Monkey Island games and the second two, if you ask me), and it pretty much nails the old-fashioned atmosphere it's obviously aiming for. That slightly off-kilter music is pretty cool, too.

It would be great if you end up doing some follow ups. It might be a good idea to make the puzzles a bit more complex, though - Oddyseus Kent (the other great game I tried) had this game beat in that respect. This one'll be staying on my hard-drive though.

[voh]

I love the humour and the style - it reminds me a lot of Simon The Sorcerer, which is a good thing...

Damnit, yes! That sending to another dimension was SO simon the sorceror, it cracked a smile on my face!

[Phemar]

I loved this game...It's really good.

Good Work Kinoko!

[Kinoko]

Thanks ^_^ I'm rather glad to hear people are still coming along and playing it (as opposed to it completely dying out after a couple of months).

[FalnEdn]

Quite enjoyable, humerous, and nowhere near a waste o'time *smile*... frighteningly enough I've known people like that, who go out of their way to not do what you ask them to, as well as sarcastically ask you to remind them what they refuse to do!  *grins*

[Pet Terry]

Hehe, I now managed to finish the game. It was really fun, and I loved Alexander's comments. Great job. ^_^

Just to let you know Kinoko, the game is being hosted here: http://www.abandonia.com/game_display.php?mark=5&ID=187 . Thats pretty cool I think.
