Our take on Circle UP
The defining mechanic is directional jumping: each click sends the ball toward a chosen side, making route selection part of every obstacle encounter. Portals, spikes, blocks, and pursuing enemies turn that single input into changing movement puzzles.
What is Circle UP?
Circle UP is a puzzle platformer where a ball jumps through obstacle courses while avoiding blocks, spikes, portals, moving hazards, and enemy swarms.
Click a direction to choose each jump, with some routes producing different outcomes. The game includes more than 50 levels, each requiring the ball to reach the top before continuing. Additional modes include Endless, Falling, Enemy Frenzy, Blocks, Survive, Eye Boss, and Fall 3D. These modes combine hazards, reverse the falling direction, add attacks from multiple sides, or introduce boss encounters. Fall 3D uses W, S, A, and D for movement and Space for jumping.
