The Amazing Spinning Cousins gameplay: a trapeze artist swings between two bars under the Spinning Circus big top

ABOUT THE GAME

The Spinning Circus is live

Inspired by The Amazing Flying Brothers, an obscure 2007 classic, The Amazing Spinning Cousins recreates the one-button physics trapeze formula: press at the right moment to build more momentum, release to launch toward the next bar. Timing is everything, release too early and the cousin doesn't make it; hold too long and they get stuck swinging in place.

The whole show happens inside the "Spinning Circus" ring, with spotlights, a red curtain, and a silhouetted crowd watching every fall. The failed-attempt counter, with zero ceremony, is called "Fallen Cousins."

HOW TO PLAY

Controls

Just one button (click, tap, or spacebar): press when the bar changes direction to gain speed and spin, don't hold it the whole time, mark the rhythm. Release quickly to launch toward the other bar; hold a moment longer to stay in place. Works the same on desktop and mobile.

TECH SHEET

Credits

Inspired by The Amazing Flying Brothers (Petri Purho / Kloonigames, 2007), a 5-day game that served as the conceptual starting point. TASC's own physics, art, and code are original; scoring values and game feel were tuned from scratch, not extracted from the original.

NOTE FROM IDEABOB

Why I made this

This one's for Dudu, my cousin, the game is dedicated to him. It has that kind of silly physical humor that always made us laugh, and a one-button mechanic is exactly the kind of simple thing that gets addictive fast. Every "Fallen Cousin" is a running joke.
