    I expected anything but didn't think the result would be so good. This is an amazing platformer that takes its atmosphere and narrative. In addition to the amazing sound design, there is also a very interesting story.

This is an amazing platformer that takes its atmosphere and narrative. In addition to the amazing sound design, there is also a very interesting story.

    It's amazing how strong the narrative is in the game, about relationships and finding oneself, about inner fears and fighting them, about those who help us survive the most difficult moments in our lives, and all this was told to me in an indie platformer! I don’t see such a plot in many AAA games, therefore, I got the maximum pleasure from passing the game.

    P.S. - bonus levels here, it's something else fun. The game is made with talent, and caring, albeit with little crooked hands. I recommend it to all. Glory to Ukraine!    … Expand

    I did enjoy my time rolling with Circle during his journey to complete himself. The story was great, the graphics matched the simple premise of the game, and rolling through the game's beautiful scenes while listening to its relaxing music was a great experience. But with its high peaks, there are also low valleys that I just cannot get past. Tough to follow dialog bubbles really disconnected me from the story at times, and frustrating sequences like the magnetic fields and cloud hopping really hurt the entire experience overall.

    A meaningful and short adventure, capable of sensibly touching complex topics like loneliness and depression, in a colorful 2D world. Suggested to everyone who likes thought-provoking narrative games.

    Journey of the Broken Circle is more than meets the eye. It’s an easy to pick up 2D platformer that delivers an excellent narrative about love, existentialism, and friendships. From the actual gameplay perspective, nothing is gated through difficulty and even younger gamers could play and enjoy. Throw in some collectibles and audio that pairs up well with the mood of the story and you’ve got yourself a game. Recommended to fans of story and casual platforming.
