I picked this game up from the Racial Justice bundle from itch.io.

Boy oh boy, it's always fun to come across a game that is extremely solidly built, has a solid mechanic to work with, is an exceptionally snappy experience, and is also 1000000% not my kind of game. Concentric is one of these games.

First: Concentric is a very good game. The visuals are clean, the music's great, the gameplay is simple but challenging. It's got it all!

In Concentric, your goal is to traverse rings from the inner-most to the outer-most to collect a D20-looking shape, and get back to the center as fast as you can. The faster you do it, the more points you get, and the faster you can get out of the level. Traversing on these circles are chevrons that'll reset your traversal progress. It's a simple concept that forces you pretty quickly to come to terms that the only thing you can get mad at in this game is your own ability to play. Everything's on a consistent pattern, and it's only your (my) inability to play that prevents you from winning.

Second: Concentric is so not my kind of game, in that I don't have the time to gain the level of mastery required to get through it. If you want to get far in Concentric, you either have to grind up your skill (you need to 3 star levels in order to unlock further levels) or be naturally radical at reaction-style games. I don't have time for the former, and if you've been watching my videos you'll know I'm not the latter.

If you enjoy games like Super Hexagon (a game I _did_ grind out skill in) and like clean visuals and good music: absolutely give Concentric a try. It's a great game that I am not the target market for.
