Summary

Circa Infinity is a very simple game, you jump around avoiding obstacles to hit the exit on the circle to go into the next circle. It all sounds a bit plain Jane but the truth is it does get quite difficult and strangely addictive, for if you mess up and get it it only takes you back one step allowing you to recover a lot of the time. The visuals lend themselves well to this type of game and along with the soundtrack it is a very cohesive experience. Now in terms of longevity that will depend on your tolerance for reflex timing abuse. Circa Infinity gets very difficult very quickly and it will definitely test you but with no leaderboards or rewards other than achievements it may not be worth it. I liked it but only for a short time and I liked the idea of the game more than playing it.
