My first experience with a rhythm game involving circles was "Elite Beat Agents" on the Nintendo DS back in middle school. Use your touch screen and stylus to hit the circles to the beat of the song. A simple concept, that can get challenging really quick.
Then in high school, I discovered "osu!", and I instantly fell in love. User curated, "osu!" delivers that same experience of hitting circles to the beat, but with an even bigger challenge since using the mouse allows for faster hits. You can either go solo, or play along with up to 15 other players as a team, or competitively as you play to see who can get a higher score. I have great memories playing with a large group of friends as we shared beatmaps we loved and played them together. It was like a playlist that turned into a game. I've been getting back into it lately, and it's still as fun as it was a little over 10 years ago.
