Sunnie Bell in Just -a- Jest

Sunnie Bell in “Just-A-Jest” is a 2D side-scrolling platformer that mixes cartoon humor with a retro, 8-bit look. The game follows Sunnie, a circus performer whose family’s circus has been wrecked by Pippi Shortfuse. Players guide Sunnie through one level packed with jumping, running, and light puzzle challenges, ending with a boss fight against the Clown of Cuteness.

This demo serves as a short showcase of what the developer hopes to expand into a full game. It takes around ten minutes to play and features smooth controls that work well on both keyboard and gamepad.
