Circles is a relaxing puzzle game that can still be surprisingly tricky, sometimes exasperatingly so. Making precise movements while taking the level’s rotation into account and also keeping the speed up because the circles in the level grow larger the faster you move can take more than a few tries to get past, but those sections are the exception to the move laid-back nature of the rest of the game.

Critic reviews
- 6.5And that’s the kicker. Circles is great. It feels smooth, and it’s a blast to play. However, when the only things incentivizing you to continue past the natural ending are Steam Achievements, it feels a bit shallow. Personally, I can see myself returning to Circles every now and again for quick burst play or to go for faster times, but without any sort of in-game time tracker, even that is uncertain. Regardless, it is a fun and interesting little gem well worth an afternoon if you have the time for it.
- 7.5Circles may not be the most feature-packed game, but it sets out with a simple mission, accomplishes it well, and even throws in extra stuff. Maybe I’d have liked to see some more levels, but I still enjoyed what I played. I wouldn’t have a hard time recommending it to anyone, either; it doesn’t matter what language you speak or what age you are, because Circles has got you covered.
- 7.5In an industry that likes to hold the player’s hand at every opportunity, telling them when and where to press certain buttons and use certain skills, a game not treating you like an idiot is a breath of fresh air. Some may want a little more from Circles, but the game has set out to accomplish a certain style and it does so with aplomb.
