Thread for the best game mechanic ever: making a circle around an enemy to kill it.
NiGHTS Into Dreams
My favorite paraloop, and the origins of the name!
Sonic Frontiers
Catchadiablos
A Playdate roguelite where you circle guys continuously, world without end
does libble rabble count? you encircle enemies with squares to grow them. but i guess if i include this game every qix clone will rear its ugly head. nevermind, keep this square out of your circles
I would say Libble Rabble and Qix are… close enough! But not circles so maybe more of a related phenomenon.
I can’t believe I forgot to include perhaps the finest paraloop-focused game of all time, Michael Brough’s iOS game
Helix
I think there’s a huge one I’m missing but those are probably just distorted memories of Sonic Frontiers.

immediately made me think of Disco No. 1 by Data East, rge company who had no idea disco was dead in fall of 1982, so this didn’t get a port
Gomola Speed (1990) on the PC Engine. Very cool game with a very cool name that’s a little too finicky for me but I love it all the same.
This thread has a distinct lack of any Vol whatsoever. It needs to get Volfied!!!
gomola speed dude~ 
At least one of these pins has an attack-animation that requires drawing a circle around noise/enemies to damage/defeat them, so that, like DEFINITELY counts because it is so GNARLY
