Circuitous ®

Minimalist arcade puzzle game with a bunch of levels, great if you want to test and improve your reflexes. It becomes annoying quickly tho and I quite frankly don't have the patience to repeat the same levels over and over again until I get it right but hey someone might find it more fun.

Circuitous ® is a simple minimalist action/reflexes puzzle game where the objective is to get your arrow through the concentric rings to the middle. The problem, of course, is a bunch of rotating obstacles, meaning you have to dodge and negotiate the maze of static and moving obstacles to succeed. That's all there is to this, a shallow experience to rival Super Hexagon and other time wasting games with less than 5 minutes worth of interest. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. The game features extremely lazy, minimalist "art", of the type you normally expect to see in low effort Flash/browser games and mobile apps. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. The very poor quality of this game puts it squarely on-par with ancient 1990's Flash/Java games, and given it's 2024 (and this was released not so far back in 2019), gamers and the industry expect and deserve better than this kind of low effort shovelware. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 3 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 110,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 110,000+ games on Steam? Circuitous ® is relatively cheap at $4 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 14,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.

RAGE INDUCING AND ADDICTIVE -9YO tESTER

Fun and challenging game. This game reminds me of retro arcade games like Tempest or Frogger but to updated music.

Too simple, boring and not fun at all. This game is worth 1$ at best.

The worst game in my account

难的一匹，有时不知道按左往左还是按右往左

This game is highly engaging and can be very addictive. The levels get harder quicker and when you think you got it you just might not! It's a well designed puzzle game.

Love the music and the gameplay! It provides a good challenge and is addictive. I would recommend it if you like a good indie game!

중앙을 향해 돌진 써클의 중앙을 향해 돌진하는 게임입니다. 좌우로 이동을 하고 앞뒤의 줄로 이동을 하면서 최종적으로 중앙에 도달하면 클리어할 수 있는거죠. 모드에 따라서 조금씩 다르지만 당연히 나아가는 길을 방해하는 녀석들이 존재합니다. 이놈들이 이동하는 방향과 속도에 주의하면서 피해 앞뒤좌우로 이동을 하고 어찌어찌 피해서 앞서 언급한대로 중앙에 도달하면 클리어! 아쉬운 점 -슬로우 효과 같은거 없으니 아쉽네
