Circle With a Gun

Circle With a Gun is a bullet hell roguelike set in a world threatened by angular magic. The circles that once defended people have grown powerful, and innocents are being transformed into grotesque polyhedral forms. You play as the last hope against the corruption, armed with a gun.

Fight and move

Your secondary weapon hits hard but only fires while you stand still. You move into position, stop to shoot, then dodge away before enemies reach you. Powerups scattered around the arena can suddenly shift the odds: a lightning powerup, for example, gives you a temporary burst of overwhelming power to take into the horde.

Each run, you collect experience and choose upgrades that combine to shape your strategy. Pairing fire rate with per-hit bonuses or using speed boosts to reward aggressive positioning can help you keep pace with the growing hordes. The game features five enemy types, each calling for different movement responses rather than simply more firepower.

Characters and scores

High scores and difficult achievements unlock characters with different loadouts. Some excel at close range, while others attack from afar; Wacky Steve uses a boomerang, and Bombs McGee brings bombs. You can earn high scores with each character and return to beat your personal bests.

Music and challenge

The retro arcade soundtrack was composed for the game by Sam Jett. Runs continue into an endless challenge of chasing higher scores, with an animation accompanying a new high score.
