a game i was not expecting to enjoy as much as i did

is it simple? most definitely, however, its that simplicity that it savors and makes the most of that is why i appreciate it so much.

on the whole, it could seem like no more than a simple flash game turned to a full release, and i would have a hard time disagreeing with that, but the amount of potential it realizes with its simple premise of "avoid circles" is honestly kind of surprising with the sheer number of circles you must avoid and the ways you can avoid them, all set to what can only be described as a "bumpin" soundtrack with a very charming art style and you got yourself a classic, babe

i do realize its problems, though, its a very short game with not much in the way of a story to latch on to (as strange as it actually is, it doesnt really go deep enough into the existential horror like the marketing and existing cutscenes lead you to believe it will) and less replay value, there are certain amounts of randomness in disc trajectory that can be frustrating, and it doesnt have enough of a unique personality or style to join the ranks of Hotline Miami in the indie hall of fame, but overall it just cant distract from how immediately fun the game is.

its goofy how good this game is but i think that might be part of why its charms work on me. good job devolver digital i love you
