A downloadable game for Windows.
Concentric tries to create a fast-paced experience with easy to learn
and tough to master gameplay, but in total it amounts to very rough
gameplay. You need to collect glowing orbs as fast as possible to get
more points; the slower you collect them the less points you get, the
more orbs you need to collect to beat the level. The lower your time,
the more stars you get. This whole system could have benefited from
simplifying; make each level beatable via collecting a specified
number of orbs. The faster you do it, the more stars you get. Easy to
understand, simple, less punishing. As it stands the consequences for
failure are astronomically higher, and more complicated, which leads
to a more frustrating experience. That said the levels are well
constructed and gameplay twists are explored at a good pace.
