What you are actually playing

Energy is the clock

Every trick drains the meter and every clean landing tops it back up. You are not racing a timer, you are racing yourself for running out.

Mini-games that end before the bus does

Cannon launches, tightrope sprints, plate spins, lion-tamer dodges. One round fits in a lift ride; three fit in a coffee queue.

Power-ups you collect, not shop for

Confetti bombs, spring boots, double-energy tickets — they drop in the ring and carry into your next run.

A leaderboard with a short memory

Scores reset weekly, so a good Tuesday still counts. Climb against everyone, or just against the people who beat you last week.

Performers worth unlocking

New acts change how a run plays — a lighter acrobat, a heavier strongman, a juggler who turns misses into energy.

Pick your act

Three ways to spend an energy bar.

Start here

Big Top Rush

The main ring: mini-games fired at you back to back until the energy runs dry.

  • Randomised mini-game order
  • Energy carries between acts
  • Combo multiplier for clean runs

Tightrope Trials

One rope, one nerve. Precision runs where a single wobble ends the act.

  • Tilt or tap controls
  • Daily rope layout
  • Personal best marker on the wire

Ringmaster's Week

The ranked ladder: seven days of scoring, then the board wipes clean.

  • Weekly reset
  • Friends and global boards
  • Performer unlocks from ranked play

Modes unlock as you play — nothing here is behind a paywall.

From the early tent

★★★★★
I opened it for one run before bed and did eleven. The energy meter is a cruel little idea and I love it.

★★★★☆
Tightrope mode took me three evenings to stop falling off. Now it is the only thing I play on the train.
Dev
★★★★★
Colour, noise, over in a minute. My nephew beat my score on the first try, which I am still thinking about.

Before you ask for an invite

What do I get if I send the form?

An invite to the playtest build and a note when the full release goes live on Google Play. Nothing else lands in your inbox.

Is this an Android game only?

Yes. CIRCUS ENERGY is built for Android phones and distributed through Google Play. We are not promising other platforms we have not built for.

How long is one session?

A single act runs about a minute. Big Top Rush chains them until your energy is gone, so a sitting is as long or short as you want it.

I want to cover it, publish it or partner on it — same form?

Same form. Say so in the message field and your enquiry goes to the person who handles press and partnerships rather than the playtest list.

Get on the opening-night list

Leave a name and an email and we will send the playtest build and the launch note.

  • A person from the CIRCUS ENERGY team reads it, not an autoresponder.
  • Playtest invites go out in the order enquiries arrive.
  • Press and partnership messages are routed to the right person first.
