Circus is a block breaker arcade video game released by Exidy in 1977, and distributed by Taito in Japan.

[2] The game is a re-themed variant of Atari, Inc.'s Breakout, where the player controls a seesaw and clown in order to pop all the balloons in the level.

The game has been copied and released under different names by numerous other companies in both the United States and Japan.

The four jumping boards located on the sides of the screen serve to decrease the area where it is impossible to make contact.

Destroying all of the blue balloons causes another sound effect and allows the player to play one more time (one clown) after they have depleted their stock.

A clown will die if the player fails to receive them with the seesaw at the bottom of the screen, and two measures of the funeral march in Frédéric Chopin's Piano Sonata No.

To add colour to the game, Ivy added cellophane to the screen to give the balloons their colors.

"[7] The popularity of the game led to Exidy to manufacture and supply printed circuit boards several companies including Sega who renamed the game Seesaw Jump, Midway who released it as Clowns and Taito who released it as Acrobat.

[8] Computer and Video Games magazine reviewed the Atari VCS version in 1989, giving it an 82% score.
