Circus Marcus is a collection of mini-games for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Marcus joined the circus as a janitor to earn some cash, but then he fell in love with the ring master, Ruby. Marcus wanted to get close to Ruby and would do anything Ruby asked. Marcus ended up performing in the circus.

Each circus act is a mini-game to master. Marcus starts out fairly easy by being shot out of a cannon at bowling pins. Players get two chances to get all of the pins down. The cannon has to be aimed at the pins by touching the screen and moving the cannon in the direction that will hit most of the pins. When the player is ready, the cannon is fired and hopefully pins are knocked down.

There are other mini-games that involve balance, which use the accelerometer in the iPhone/iPod Touch. Players have to tilt the iPhone/iPod Touch to keep Marcus’ balance. Marcus will attempt hand stands and the player has to help him balance by tilting the device. If the device is tilted too far in one direction, Marcus will fall and the game will start over. Marcus has to balance for a certain amount of time to pass the level.

All of the different multi-tap features are used through out the games. There are games that use the pinch feature to cause Marcus to do a flip in the air.  All of the touch controls work as expected and there was never a problem getting Marcus to do what he was suppose to do.

Over all, Circus Marcus is an entertaining collection of mini-games. The games are short and can be played within a minute or two, which is the perfect length for waiting in line. If you are a fan of games that contain short style mini games, check out Circus Marcus in the Apple App Store.
