You spin my head right round… Circular Force review

Denniz Bednarc | 2016-01-30



A free, highly addictive game, for killing time. Just as other games of it’s kind, It’s simple, seems easy, but is actually an app made by Satan himself, to frustrate you to death. Tap once, the square reacts to gravity. Hold down, and you lost.

The game is made out of one screen, with some kind of planet, with it’s gravity field around it, some “aliens” like I call it, and a spaceship (?). That is how I imagined the game. The point is to collect the blue dots, and to do so, you have to hold down on the screen, and release before you hit the ground. Seems easy? Sure. It’s super easy. Like really. Very easy… Mhmm…

So what happens when you finally get the dot? Go catch another. Just like Flappy Bird, this game never ends. You can’t win this game. All you are rewarded with at the end is frustration. So why do we keep on downloading these kind of games, and play them? Good question I am asking myself since 2012. I still don’t have an answer.

If you’re like me, and have a lot of more complex games on your phone, that usually take a lot of time to complete stages on, like Overkill or Asphalt, but you still want to kill time, when you’re waiting for the buss for example, then this game is for you. If you start up a race on Asphalt and the buss comes in the middle of it, you lock the screen and you’re greeted with a “Resuming…” screen that takes you to the main menu of the game. How fun is that? This kind of game, is exactly what we want in these situations. I highly recommend it, and If you don’t like it, you can simply uninstall it.



The game is available on Windows Phone and on Windows 10 Mobile from the Microsoft Store
