The game features three minigames, Circle, Bar and Square, each played differently but with the same objective (scoring one million points) and played on the same screen. Each game can either be played separately or with two or all three simultaneously played by multiple players, with gameplay in one game interacting with and affecting the other games.

This inventive action game is 3-in-1: Circle, Square & Bar. Circle = physics, Square = turn-based, Bar = reaction. Circle is quite possibly my favourite game of all time. You can play today using Wii & DS ROMs. See: https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2013/06/29/maboshi/

I prefer the look and feel of the DS version, but it's lacking the multi-window capability of the Wii version.

This game feels a ton like being in an arcade. I used to sit and play this for hours and my family would just randomly pop in and grab a controller and start their own game. When no one is playing with you for awhile the game starts autoplaying in the other two slots and those slots will also influence your game and make it easier. They really put a lot of thought into it and I love it for that.
