Honked! is a narrative-adventure game about a mysterious world of Clowns where not all is as it seems. You'll use gumption and a balloon pump to explore and unravel the mystery of Clownside! It's a short game, clocking it at around an hour playtime. You're a serious, hard-boiled, private investigator…or at least you were until you got HONKED! With that fateful HONK you've been transported to the strange and silly world of Clownside, where everyone is a clown. You'll need to master the clown-art of ballooning as you search for clues and interrogate a wild and whimsical cast of clowns. This is one clown-spiracy that just might go all the way to the top…the Big Top. As a new Clown, you'll need to rely on your special talent to convince clowns to give you clues and unlock tools to access all of Clownside! Balloon making can be tough and awkward, but with enough practice you'll be able to make any kind of balloon you can imagine. As you learn to make more balloons, you'll find some of them unlock new 3D platforming abilities. A few of note are the Wheel and Flower which are important for traversal.
