A reprise of one of my first games, Circle Chase! This time, the Circle is burned out.

Play as a circle collecting circles! Can you beat my highscore of 30? Try your best to compete with a rapidly increasing speed as you increase your score.

Make sure not to crash. Either into the walls or by working too hard.

At first I thought I had it then it started speeding up super fast and I kept dying haha. Had a lot of fun trying to beat the high score of 30

I was wondering what happened when I hit 30. Then I got there lol

I read the description and saw you're challenge to beat your score of 30, I thought to myself, "I've played video games for way too long, I can do that easily". Well I got to 30 pretty quickly but... I wasn't expecting that twist.

I like how quickly the difficulty scales, it really demonstrates the them you were going for. You have to take it slow or everything can speed up too quickly and you burnout.

A clever twist on Snake-esque gameplay where the difficulty doesn't lie in the growth of the circle (snake), but the speed of the circle! Calling the circle burned out adds that extra layer of meaning to the chase, too. The faster you go, the harder it is to keep up and avoid the walls, and the easier it is to lose. And then you get back up again and continue the chase. Just like real life. Ah.................

Like how the circle speeds up as we get more points, the size of the circle we control adds to the difficulty as well.
