You spin me right round, baby, right round
First, take Crazy Taxi's whole "go around and pick people up and bring them places" thing. Then, add in remarkably low-budget and corny videos of actual actors every time someone jumps in the car. Then, change the taxi into a limo. Then, have the limo spin out of control at all times. The result is Roundabout, one of the strangest games I've played in years. But don't let that weirdness turn you off--Roundabout is an outlandishly good time, and a shining example of indie gone crazy.
In my time with the game it never grew too frustrating. Since it's so insane, even the most ridiculous moments were punctuated with laughter rather than rage, and a healthy supply of checkpoints made sure I never lost too much progress when my revolving vehicle was bashed against a wall. Developer No Goblin promised dozens of unique passengers to encounter and a bunch of optional challenge missions, too, and I'm excited to see what nonsense this absurd game throws our way when it comes out later this year.
