Ayo the Clown is a 2.5D side-scrolling platformer reminiscent of genre favorites like Mario and Donkey Kong. What sets Ayo the Clown apart from traditional platformers is its sense of adventure, light puzzle facets, and RPG elements.Like the Legend of Zelda series, Ayo’s potential isn’t realized at the game’s offset. You will collect skill upgrades and extra hearts that add to your overall life as you progress through this lush world. What’s more is Ayo’s lighthearted, but emotional storyline. Collectible comic book pages in each level tear away the mystery behind Bo’s disappearance and drive Ayo onward. Collect them all to paint the whole picture!

Ayo awakens one night to a deafening crash, but not from the storm that roars outside his bedroom window. No… it seems it came from within the room.

Devastated and confused, Ayo charges into the storm to find his favorite canine juggling partner.Read more
