How many hours did it take  to code this game?

a surprising amt

Consider adding some music. The concept is interesting, but I'm not a big fan of such games.

Simple game and on target for theme.  It's a funny little parody.  Would recommend that the timings between transitions are made shorter as some of the pauses are pretty long.  A little sound effects or music could have been additional steps in the journey to fun and enhanced the mood.

This game is absolutely spectacular. It is incredibly funny, yet thought provoking in its simplicity. I could probably spend a day overanalyzing it to death (or, really, well past death) and come out the other end with a 2000 word essay no one wants to read.

It is elegant and beautiful. It is one of the best games I have played in my life. I haven't seen absurdist theatre transposed into a game like this before. I really really really loved it. 

Sartre said, "Hell is other people." Your game elevates this to "hell is a circle." It's perfect. 

(This comment is a bit over the top, but I really truly enjoyed your game. It made me very excited about art and theatre and video games and the lines between them. I felt like I had been a bit stuck about how to convey certain thoughts and experiences through games, and this game gave me a new lens to see through. Thank you for it.)

the circle is the truth

Cool game. I think it should have multiple endings or some sort of replay ability.

Submitted

Really fun game. Well done

Submitted

A nice prototype. Its currently a little short, but I can easily see it becoming a game that starts as a clicker game and iteratively evolves into another game, like maybe  a shooter. As it is though, good work!

A very funny little game. Well done.

Submitted

Interesting concept of a clicker, I liked the narative aspect of it.
Felt like it was more about time passing than clicking though, or maybe that just happened on subsequent loops.

Submitted

This game is describing the thought process of making a game pretty accurate! Would have wished for some alternative story routes as well though but really a unique take on making a jam game!

Submitted

Honestly, the comedic timing was impeccable. I was surprisingly entertained despite there never being more than three circles on the screen at once.

Submitted

Lol it's a very interesting submission. I was expecting it to be different the second time thru the second time through

Submitted

lmao XD. u should be a comedian. story kind of ended abruptly

Submitted

i enjoyed the humor. It could have gone faster, I was hoping for some kind of reveal or continuation after the red circle. 

Submitted

Different endings would be nice, but other than that, great game!

Submitted

That was pretty funny :P

Submitted

Fun little game idea. Perhaps you could add on to it, for example have different endings, for if you for example don't shoot the red thing.
