New iOS game Circus Life reveals what really goes on inside the big top (exclusive)

The circus is a magical place. For actress-turned-game developer Irina Vaganova, it’s home.

That’s why Circus Life, out this Thursday on the App Store (free for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad), is more than the average circus game — if you’re ever even played one before (I haven’t). Vaganova and her new European studio Dolce Vita Games used firsthand knowledge to put on what’s probably the most authentic performance you’ll ever see re-created on iOS.
