Point and click games used to be all the craze until around the 2010s. Now, they're usually relegated to mid size productions or simple indie titles. The genre also proved incredibly popular among flash game creators, due to the relatively simple planning and programming that goes into such a game. There are a ton of flash game creators that got into the craze, with Ena Game Studio being one of many. Let's look at one of their games, The Circle 1: 04 Octopus City.

To play The Circle 1: 04 Octopus City, just run it with whatever SWF player you have.

There are a ton of languages that you can choose from, but I can only speak for the quality of the English translation, which is...passable. It's understandable, but not grammatically correct all the time. At least there's only one story blurb in the beginning that is affected. In this entry, the Creator is pursuing the second object in Octopus City.

The music and sound effects stand in stark contrast. The music and atmosphere are incredibly epic, but the sound effects sound like they come straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon. It feels incredibly jarring and detracts from the experience.

The puzzles themselves are fairly fun and well-designed, however. There's a consistent flow of logic and not a whole lot of pixel hunting, which is impressive.

All in all, if you're a fan of point-and-click games, then The Circle 1: 04 Octopus City is very worthy of your time. You won't regret your choice if you give this game a shot.
