Jester Drop

JesterDrop is a one-thumb circus arcade game. A see-saw waits at the bottom of the ring. Jesters tumble out of the big top, and you slide the plank so they bounce into the balloons.

Pop every balloon to clear the wave. Catch a jester in the middle for a straight launch, or catch it off-centre to knock it sideways and reach the balloons at the edge. Miss a jester and you lose a life.

What is in the ring • Easy, Normal, and Hard, plus Impossible after you reach wave 100 • Trick balloons, from wave 6, that can go off with a bang • A duck that knocks a flying jester along its path • A monkey throwing bananas • Falling gems worth extra points • Every 15th wave, a ring of fire that can grant extra lives • Every 20th wave, a three-shot cannon bonus • Every 100th wave, a GOOD JOB trophy, then the next wave • Wave 500, a motorcycle finale • A last score and a best score for each difficulty, kept on this iPhone • A speaker button that mutes the music and the effects together • An attract demo if the title screen sits untouched

The music and the pictures are original. There is no account to create. A full-screen ad plays after every 10th wave you clear, between waves, and Remove Ads ($0.99) turns those ads off. Scores, the mute choice, trophies, and the Impossible unlock never leave the phone.

Drag anywhere. Bounce the jesters. Clear the balloons.
