About the Game

The Life of a Magical Circle is a philosophical collect-and-survive roguelite about finding your purpose in life.

Control a circle with your mouse. Eat smaller circles and uncover the rules of this strange world. Experiment, die, and be reborn until you understand your purpose; then come full circle with your mysterious narrator.

Features:

  • Control a magical circle with fluid, mouse-based movement

  • Dodge menacing triangles and squares

  • Eat smaller circles that will either help you find your purpose, or change the game in strange and amusing ways

  • A mysterious narrator will react to your choices, reflect upon his own life, and wonder aloud about the nature of chasing one's dreams

  • Gaze upon a beautiful, evolving, fractal-based background

  • Listen to a wonderful soundtrack that you contribute to through your actions

  • 30 minutes to 3+ hours long depending on your skill level, how wise you are, and how much you want to see
