Auto-running platformers have found a well-deserved home on mobile, with everything from Run Roo Run to Sonic Runners proving that the genre is an exceptional way to handle old school platforming on your phone.

Circle Frenzy takes this idea and “runs” with it, if you’ll pardon the pun, all the way around the world.

Players will control their hero as he runs around a circular world littered with obstacles and platforms. The goal of the game, like so many titles on the App Store, is to last for as long as you can. The trick here is that no two playthroughs will be alike. Developer PagodaWest games are promising randomly generated levels that should keep things fresh play after play.

“Stay on each world as long as you can for extra points, but if you overstay your welcome … BOOM … the BIG BANG will no longer be a theory!,” reads the official copy from PagodaWest.

If the developer’s name sounds familiar, there’s good reason for that: you’ve probably played their sublime 2013 release Major Magnet.

There’s no release date for Circle Frenzy quite yet, but when it does surface, you can expect it on iOS and Android – hopefully with that awesome soundtrack you’ll hear in the trailer above.
