A Noble Circle

Amirali Rajan

Guide a circle through a two dimensional world in A Noble Circle.

This is the story of Flatland, a two dimensional world

Those games that just has to be experienced.

$1.99 $1.99

Why we picked this?

A Noble Circle is from the creator of A Dark Room and The Ensign. If you’ve played those games, you’ll have a better idea of what to expect from A Noble Circle. If not, you have to try it anyway. On the surface it’s a high score game that has you moving a circle higher and higher with taps. But as you progress, a rather unique story will unfold right before your eyes.

You want something completely different to play. Sure, it contains elements from games you’ve played before, but its combination of storytelling and advanced techniques is unique.

You’re not fond of change. It’s artsy. It’s challenging. It’s unique. But it’s not for everyone.
