10 itemsAbout the Game
Descend into the mechanical maze of CIRCULATION, a physics-based puzzle platformer / collectathon, where every machine hides a riddle. Guide a living Sphere through intertwined pipes and pathways in your quest to escape the maze. Immerse yourself in an eerie world that rewards curiosity, perception, and mastery — a labyrinth for the lost, a challenge for the curious.
Control dormant machines to shift passages, rotate platforms, and rewrite your path through the labyrinth. Use strategy and observation to solve intricate puzzles and uncover the hidden routes that lead to freedom.
Move carefully through shifting corridors where danger hides behind every turn. Time your movements to dodge saw blades, explosives, and tricky balancing acts.
Feel the weight of physics-based movement. Push, topple, and shatter objects with impact. Precise and responsive controls give every action a tangible sense of momentum and balance.
Descend into a somber, iron-veined labyrinth where every gear ticks with secrets. The air hums with silent voices, and shadows creep through rusted pipes as you explore a world that feels alive yet lifeless.
Seek out insects scattered throughout the maze. Absorb them to unlock new levels, transform your Sphere’s shell, and unleash magnetic shockwaves that clear debris and reactivate dormant machinery.
Collect and unlock many beautiful, strange, and scary shells. Each one reshapes your Sphere’s appearance, letting you express your journey through the maze.
