About This Game

Hardcore Circus is a punishment-based platformer inspired by precision-platformers and Foddian classics.

It is designed for players who love the satisfaction of mastering the movement and the pain of repeating the same section 100s of times.

Key Features

  • Momentum-Based Controls: No weapons, just physics. If you die, it is on you.

  • Peaceful Violence: Defeat evil bosses using only your movement and environment.

  • Dynamic Damage: Lose limbs and keep playing. Even as a torso, you can roll your way to victory.

  • High Skill Ceiling: Designed for speedrunners and perfectionists.

  • Social Features: Game implements multiple Leaderboards and Achievements.

  • Instant Respawn: Fail fast, try again instantly.

MEET DIK

He is not a soldier. He is not a wizard. He is a determined acrobat with a beer belly and a very tight costume.

When the Devil drags his brother Alex to Hell, Dik jumps in after him.

ENTER THE FLOW STATE

This is not about button mashing - it is about calculating the arc. It is a high-stakes climb where you build momentum, and launch with perfect timing.

DEADLY BOSS FIGHTS

You have no weapons. Boss fights are intense survival dances where movement is your only attack.

  • Pattern Recognition: Memorize attack patterns.

  • Environmental weapons: Outsmart monstrosities by triggering falling debris, baiting enemies into traps, or activating lasers to destroy shields.

LEGS ARE OPTIONAL

Lose your legs? You become a rolling torso. It looks ridiculous, but you can still finish the level if you have the skill.

Lose your hands? Game over. You need those to climb.

It is a mechanic that turns near misses into desperate, hilarious scrambles for survival.

A TWISTED WORLD TOUR

The Devil has a strange sense of interior design, you will parkour through:

The Circus, The Castle, The Hell, The Ocean, The Savannah and The Tower
