What players say

Circles is a free minimalist puzzle game with over 90 levels that relies entirely on mouse movement. Players say it is more about precise hand-eye coordination than brain-teasing, with some levels demanding intense focus and patience. Opinions split on the difficulty curve, as early levels ease you in before the game spikes sharply. Several note the bright color changes can cause eye strain.
