Disc Room is a pretty interesting game where the main mechanic involves surviving as long as possible in a room with moving killer objects. With such a simple idea, the game manages to have a lot of variations on it with more than 50 different rooms of such, each having a gimmick that makes it particularly special. Some of these areas involve different objectives as well, such as staying in a specific area of the room, or triggering floor panels, or even fighting a boss by collecting orbs on the ground. To assist the player there are a few powers they can use as well, such as the ability to dash through discs without taking damage. To bind these segments together the rooms are laid out in a grid format the player can traverse pretty quickly, with additional rooms being unlocked by completing side objectives in adjacent ones. I found the overall game's concept to be highly enjoyable, and would say this alone already makes the game excellent. The additional work put into the art and sound wrap up the main game as a solid experience.
Besides the avoidance aspect, there also a few extra details worth mentioning as well. Each disc that you see in the game can be "collected" by dying to them, thus one optional goal is to try and obtain each disc. There are also a few special rooms with puzzle elements as well, they're pretty tough to solve somewhat but have unique solutions that make them worth the attempt. The big feature worth addressing though is record times, each room has tracking for the times you get in it and also features a target time set by the developers to try and hit in order to mark the room as gold on the map. Additionally, the game also tracks the automatically records of your Steam friends as well, so you can compete for the highest times amongst the various rooms of the game.
Overall, definitely a game worth taking a look at if you are interested in survival or avoidance gameplay. The game has a lot going for it as a single player experience, and records add a load of replayability for those with friends who also play the game.
