Piero

Piero is an arcade game for the Apple II.

The player controls a set of clowns and a teeter-totter, with the goal of collecting balloons that lie above them. At the beginning of each round, one of the clowns takes a flying leap off of a platform from either the left or the right of the screen. The player must use the Apple Paddles to try to position the correct side of the teeter-totter beneath the falling clown to throw their partner up in the air to collect balloons. The player must continuously throw their partner into the air until all balloons are collected. If the player misses, the falling clown is strewn on the ground and injured. The player has a total of 5 clowns, and when all are lost, it's game over.

The player gains 10 points per bounce, and 50 points for each balloon collected. The player receives an extra clown at 5000, 8000, and 10000 points.
