HONKED! a clown noir
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
You're a serious, hard-boiled, private investigator…or at least you were until you got HONKED!
With that fateful HONK you've been transported to the strange and silly world of Clownside, where everyone is a clown. You'll need to master the clown-art of ballooning as you search for clues and interrogate a wild and whimsical cast of clowns.
This is one clown-spiracy that just might go all the way to the top…the Big Top.

i gave up after too many tries on the last balloon part T-T (I suck as video games)
I cannot express how much I loved this game. It made me feel like I was playing a fun adventure platformer from the N64 days! The story was great, the mechanics were super fun, and I loved it!
I hope you don't mind, but I made a let's play of your game. I only just realized there was also a steam version which I promptly bought lol
Sup clowns!
We’ve released an updated, deluxe version with new jokes, character moments, full voice acting, and achievements over on Steam.

I had alot of fun
I like the way the mystery and further questions gradually become clearer and clearer.
And I really liked the way the mystery was solved and the information flowed in at once in the last part of the film.
I love Clownside!
My personal favorite is the view of the lights of the central plaza from the high ground where the theater is located, which is blurred by the depth of field.
Combined with the music, it gave me a very nostalgic feeling.
3 words: SPEEDRUN THIS GAME. it is so fun i want it to be a real speedgame
Daaaaaang, I had a smile on my face the entire time I played this, beautiful game. Oozes character out of every pore
Ok, now that I passed that hot air balloon section near the end of the game, I found a bug. SPOILERS AHEAD!!
In the Egg vault, I took my clown egg to the Ringmaster's room. Humorously, it ended up on top of the Ringmaster's egg instead of my hands. (Sadly, I did not screenshot this.) After breaking his egg, the game took me back to the Vault - but this time, my egg is still in the other room! Since the game seals the door to the Ringmaster, I can't get any kind of ending, thus softlocking me.
Also, in the section leading up to this, the detective on the left has his cigar floating around.
EDIT: Also, pressing E during the opening cutscene glitches the audio.
Thanks for the notes! I'll make sure you egg gets reset to the podium after the ringleader is beat (if you haven't put it in the case)
i just started playing this game, but already it's fantastic!! im literally in love, the voice acting is a nice surprise, the balloons are so fun, its just..... so nice :) the clowns go honk and it's great
Those platforms requiring the flower near the end are SO HARD to reach! Even when evoking an exploit I found to get up to the top of the hot air balloons (I high jumped on a nearby tightrope then used the flower mid-air, finally using my height to reach the last balloon platform), I still couldn't make the jumps!
P.S: The flower makes the tightrope sections a LITTLE bit easier.
For those last few platforms you have to use the wheel and the flower at the same time to get enough speed and height.
Noted! thanks for the feedback
