  This game has nothing : no menu, no option, no explanation, no tutorial ... nothing ! And yet, it's a very good minimalist puzzle game where you have to figure how to bring your circle from one circle to another circle, all the while avoiding other circles ... most of the time :p There, best game description ever :D Add to that an extremely reactive dev, who fixed achievements not unlocking in less than 30 minutes. Definitely recommended.

  It's original, but it's not much of a puzzle game, and I'm not sure I'd call it relaxing. More of of a precision game than anything. Some of the levels are pretty hard on a touchpad.

  Circles is not a terrible game, but it is deceiving, even after having played the demo. Circles presents itself as a 90+ levels puzzle game. However, it is not a puzzle game. There is no thinking required to complete any level. Circles is simply a series of mouse-controlled dexterity mini-games, where you will have to move your mouse in the proper way (speed, angle, etc...) to complete a level. These 90 levels are also extremely simple, and even without paying attention I blasted through the game in less than an hour - for a 8€ game, that's pretty terrible value. There are four additional modes that make you replay through the same levels with an added gimmick for difficulty (like rotating levels), which could kick playtime to 3h or so, if you really want to replay the same levels 5 times. On the other hand, there is definitely some interesting elements in Circles. For one, the entire game UI is based on circles. There are no words, no menus, and not a single shape on screen that is not a circle. Everything the game needs to convey, it tells via circles, colours and sound cues. While the design in itself is intriguing enough, what actually makes this weird choice compelling is that it is up to you to understand what the game expects of you. That would make for great puzzles, if...Circles ever resisted you, but it doesn't. It is too simple for this to become an enticing challenge. The other aspects of the game are pretty weak too. The minimalistic visuals (colors + circles) actually manage to be eye-seering in a few levels, due to downright idiotic color choices (yeah bright yellow on bright red, this ought to work, right?). The sound is nothing you haven't heard in a million puzzle games before: jazzy/electronic atmospheres, with sound cues based on your mouse movements. While it is not bad and has some interesting elements, I cannot reasonsably recommend anyone to use 8€ on this game when there are many superior puzzlers on Steam for half the price. Cool concept, but Circles is really just that: a concept. Pros: - Really nifty UI - Unique mechanic in trying to figure out what the game expects of you Cons: - Extremely short (under an hour, 3 tops if you replay the same levels with modes 5 times) - Barely any thinking, more dexterity than puzzle - Dirt easy - Some terrible color palette choices which hurt the eye - Beside the UI, you've seen it all before - Expensive

  Awesome interactive soundtrack and clean minimalist presentation. Every few levels the mechanics change a little bit. I wish it had shown how cool it would get sooner, because I almost quit before that point. My other complaints is that I have turn up the volume quite a bit louder than most games to hear it. I tried with Steam Controller and it wasn't precise enough, but it plays great with a mouse. Otherwise a very relaxing game.

  This game is a well made, short, minimalistic, elegant little mind exercise. If that sounds like something you will enjoy, get this. But you should be wary of a few things: [list] [*]The main levels (other than the extra challenge modes that alter the gameplay) take around an hour. I personally felt I was done with the game after 1 hour of gameplay. It might be just me. [*]Not all levels are fun, but all are well designed. [*]Some levels feel repetitive for a puzzle game. There are a lot of variety on mechanics, but the puzzles using those mechanics rarely surprise more than twice. [/list] If you are okay with the above things, get the game, because this kind of elegancy in game design is hard to find these days.

  Tl;dr: to me, everything about this game is right. So, 🔴 Circles is a game about mouse dexterity and stuff like that. Most of us have probably played games like this before, and for me, I quite enjoy them. Launching the game alone pulled me into this game. I have seen some reviews that are like "Oh this game advertises itself as a puzzle game but all it is is moving your mouse. I want a refund" and crap like that. BUT, I played the game through, and if you play for more than like 5 minutes, you will see how much of a puzzle it can get to be. Genre: Puzzle/Mouse Dexterity Music: calm, relaxing: 4/5 Gameplay: Puzzlish, Fun: 5/5 Bugs/Glitches: None that I have found: 5/5 I recommend this game

  The main game has great puzzles designed around tracking the circles around each other. It is all quite clever. Every puzzle is thoughtful and the music/SFX accompaniment is relaxing and encouraging--even when I make a mistake. That being said, I have found little enjoyment in playing with the additional difficulty modifiers, and though that the last handful of stages were anxiety-inducing because of the need for continuous and precise mouse movement.

  An elegant and cute game that will take an hour of your time, a little bit of puzzle solving and some coordination. The puzzles are original and never too repetitive, the design is beautiful and soundtrack very relaxing. If you were a fan of Osmos (like I was) you will enjoy this game.
