Circeon is a game where the player must escape a maze, its main obstacle beeing a jack-in-the-box possitioned between corridors that explodes when interacted with. The box's content can vary between:
1- A bomb: The explosion causes the player to lose a life.
2- Confetti: A clown jumps out along with a colorful explosion of confetti.
The player will also carry a matchbox at all times, since the maze has no other light source besides the one indicatig the clown box. It will be necessary to use the matchbox constantly to get and light the match.

Very nice game, I liked the artstyle and overall game feel, the animations are smooth too!
All hail the dark circus! Absolutely love the aesthetic of this, wish the game play was more interactive! Maybe a shorter length of the match animation and quicker burst of light would be good so the player can make quicker movements and choices.
Very creepy. Did not find my way out, but I had fun trying! Well done.
Very awesome horror aspect, the controls feel intuitive, but a little confused on the floating orbs and how to know which jack-in-the-box is a bomb or a clown. All in all, very creative!
I really like the visuals, the clown is very cute and I like the animations.
I didn't find the maze exit after 2 tries. It feels like the game wants me to explore the maze but I think there is no way to know what the box will contain before opening it, so after some exploration I was doomed to die. So the only way out is probably memorizing the layout of entire maze through several attempts. It would be difficult enough to memorize all the booby-trapped boxes if I had constant light source... Maybe I completely missed something.
I love the visuals. This looks so creepy! I agree with it needing some kind of spooky atmosphere music or something. The gameplay idea is good with the movement just when the light is out but it just does not do it for me. I feel like something is missing.
"Lovely" design but the gameplay is way too simple.
Really lovely art and design, plus a very spooky atmosphere!
That was so creepy. I looove these visuals!
It scared the sh*t out of me haha. It needs some creepy music!
yeahahhh
So cool! The art and style are amazing, really great concept too.
