Circus is a rethemed Breakout where you control a seesaw with two clowns (or stick figures, if you don't believe the game's marketing) and you must amaze the audience by jumping high and popping all the floating balloons, forever and nonstop.

There's an extra frame for the animation when the clowns hit the ground, its non-use makes the animation less smooth in the actual game.

DEPOSIT COIN

Present at 1510 in memory. The game never prompts for a coin to be inserted. Instead, the "CREDITS" amount appears if coins have been deposited and the game is ready to be started.

PLAYS

Present at 1590 in memory. This maybe could have indicated the bonus credits gained by the player, just as it's done with the bonus points.
