<img src="circusgalton_files/bal.gif" alt="" border="0"> Aim of the game</p><p>
The aim of this game is to catch as many balls as possible. The balls fall down from a blue tube.
The player has a green basket to collect the balls.</p></td></tr>

<td colspan="2">
<img src="circusgalton_files/bal.gif" alt="" border="0"> Movement<p>
You can move the green basket to the left and right by using the joysitck in port 2.
In your emulator you can define keys to replace this joystick.
When using an original Commodore 64, you can use it's own keys.
Unfortunatelly I can't remember which keys these are.</p><p>
<img src="circusgalton_files/bal.gif" alt="" border="0"> Score</p><p>
For each collected ball you receive as many score as the number of the level you're playing.
E.g.: you're playing at level 3 (in the game called "ronde 3"). Each collected ball will increase your score with 3.
<br>When your score exceeds 1000 the 'circus galton-sign' will appear.
<br>After your game has ended, your score and the hiscore of the day be shown.</p></td>
