Circles is a free puzzle game you can play right here in your browser. It leans on drawing & art, so expect short rounds you can repeat. No account, no install and no plugins — just the game in a browser tab.

How to play Circles
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. The full control mapping is in the table below and takes a moment to skim. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse / trackpad | Draw and colour |
| Left click | Pick a tool or colour |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
What keeps Circles worth returning to is how quickly a single round resolves. It respects your time — you are never more than a click from another attempt. Nothing about it assumes you have played it before.
