I don't generally play fast-paced games, and I thought I was making one ... turns out I wasn't! Players have described it as "relaxing" and a "lay back game". Shows what I know.

If you find the game gets too hard when you're big, try using well timed bombs (the little red striped sirkuls) to control the your size, and the sizes of the enemy sirkuls.

Hi folks! I have a wee video of Sirkulphage, showing how you can maintain a run for a few minutes and work up a decent score. I got 652290 - which is ok. I'd love to see someone beat it and share it on a video, stream, or even just a pic of your hi score!

Here are some tips:

1. Eat the sirkuls in order of size to build up a multiplier.
2. Listen out for the sound of infected sirkuls, and keep away from them.
3. If you do get infected use an exploding sirkul to kill it.
4. Use exploding sirkuls as a last resort to clear space, but get ready to dodge the fallout!
5. There is always a smaller sirkul somewhere, even if it's just off screen - it will appear eventually.
