On easy you get four hearts- versus three on normal- and some of the levels are reworked to make the obstacles easier.
I played the game on normal, but turned it to easy once just to see the difference. The game is fair in that respect- if a world is too difficult or the controls are cumbersome, you can always adjust the difficulty. If you die and run out of lives, you will return to the overworld and lose progress in the level you were working on. I should use it to go back and get the remaining collectibles I am missing.Īyo has a lives system, where more can be found in each level as well as the ability to earn more as you collect a number of gems.
#AYO THE CLOWN REVIEW UPGRADE#
The balloon upgrade is nice, but I didn’t collect 25,000 gems until a little over two thirds of the way through the game. One NPC here will sell you a balloon upgrade for 25,000 gems. You can visit the town to meet more NPCs, as well as others who will show up, which you can interact with as you complete their quests. After beating the first world, a town and tent will open up on the map. As you progress through the overworld, the theme will change to match the levels in that area, but it all fits together seamlessly, and nothing feels out of place. I found each level to range from -five to ten minutes in length to complete. The game has an overworld map, which you use to access the game’s thirty levels and other areas. Some of the boss battles even incorporate these alternate traversal styles, which adds a nice variety to the makeup of the levels. There is a minecart level of course, and there are also vehicles! Ayo gets to drive a plane, tank, and helicopter, to name a few. There are ten to find in total and can be viewed from the toybox setting at any time.Īyo the Clown isn’t shy to show its inspirations, as Donkey Kong country shines through in several levels. There are also toys which can be found, but I am also not entirely sure the purpose of them, as I was given two of them.
I am not sure what finding all of them does, as I did not go back to prior levels with my new abilities to find the rest. The balloon is a key ability and can actually be upgraded in the town, more on that in a minute.Īs you traverse levels and complete quests, you’ll collect gems (the game’s form of currency), hidden teddy bears, and lollipops- of which there are three- in each level. One ability you unlock and is key to traversing the game is the double jump, which is actually where Ayo gets a clown-trademark balloon. The abilities you are rewarded with are all traversal-based, ranging from jumping, slope sliding, ground pounding, wall climbing and more. For example, you may get to a point where you run into an NPC, go down into an area of the level to complete the quest, return back up to the NPC, get the ability and then continue upward to the end of the level. While all the levels in the game have a start and end point, you don’t just traverse left to right. These side quests usually involve transporting someone to another area of the level or collecting a certain number of items from a part of the level. You need to complete these tasks to get an ability via trophy in order to proceed through the rest of the level. You will soon run into townsfolk (NPCs) who will give you side quests, which are actually required quests. Right away you will notice that Ayo doesn’t have any abilities aside from moving left and right. When it comes to gameplay, Ayo the Clown takes a lot of inspiration from other titles in the genre, yet adds its own unique twist to the formula.
