The visual design is minimalistic but looks very nice and very readable. The music and sounds fit really well.

my game crashing.\n\nI also found some typos.\n\nThe score starts from 2000 so the difficulty is far more than I wanted it to be, that was a mistake, as I was debugging the game, starting from 2000 cause I was bored to play from the start.","title":"The Circular
