Assemble sets of geometric parts to try and find balance ! It may be easy at first, but be prepared, because as you make your way up the levels one by one, the play gets more challenging. The solution is always right there under your eyes, but sometimes it is not as simple as it looks, and the balance may be fragile. The law of gravity is unforgiving, and tricks and surprises await along the path. Fortunately, every time you complete one universe, you will be granted one joker which you may choose to give up in case you get stuck. Will you be able to go all the way up and shoot for the moon ? -------------------------------------------------------------- Music credits : Epic Soul Factory - Grasping some Beauty - Provided by Jamendo

Pay once, play forever! Circulous is an episodic mystery narrative puzzle game. In this first-person game, you take on the persona of Amanda Trouser. You have just been let go from your job. After packing your things, you wonder what you are going to do with the rest of your life. How will you afford your apartment? On the subway ride home you see an add for a job opening at Circulous…it’s almost as if the ad was put there just for you! You apply, and you end up hired! That is only the beginning of the story. Your work at Circulous is exciting, but soon you realize there may be more to this company than you’ve ever imagined. Corporate espionage, conspiracy theories and moral dilemmas lead you through challenging puzzles that will test your wits, your allegiances, and what you think you know about…everything. Engagement This puzzle game pulls you in and makes it as immersive as possible. Scenes use parallax movement to make it feel like you are in Amanda’s world. The opening scene (in which you are fired) uses story and humor to quickly place you in Amanda’s shoes. Each scene is an animated environment that invites you to explore and notice things that may or may not be important to the story or puzzles. The use of your phone (or iPad) is an intuitive way to keep you in the game but also make it feel as if you are truly using your device alongside the game and not just a gimmick. The OS feels like a true OS and makes the immersive nature of the game much more enjoyable.
