    Taking it’s cues from classics of the past and adding a B-Movie style over the top, Roundabout hits all the right notes.

    A surprising game, with a crazy humor and fresh and funny gameplay made of puzzle and platform elements. It will keep you entertained for many hours.

    No Goblin has managed to create a game that is not only funny, but also one that is full of heart and which can be genuinely touching.

    What's remarkable is that No Goblin took what had all the makings of a gimmick mechanic and turned it into something that feels like a legitimately useful staple, something that requires patience and skill to figure out. Roundabout manages to be simultaneously cumbersome and stiff, and brilliant and endearing -- chances are you'll go 'round and 'round.

    Minor technical issues aside, Roundabout's unique concept and cheesy yet personable performances make it a pleasure to play. [Issue#122, p.81]

    Roundabout is a weird game. I found myself struggling to play it at times, but always willing to go back. The cut scenes are truly worth the price of admission, but the game play left me a bit cold at times.

    While the gameplay of Roundabout may be a little sloppy and unfair at points, its gleefully absurd premise and storyline are just enough to mask these faults.

    A disappointing game that was aiming to become the next Crazy Taxi but fails on achieving it. Short, ugly and not even funny.

    This game is so much silly fun. Gets too much hate for being "different". I love the goofy cut scenes, the crazy spinning game mechanic andThis game is so much silly fun. Gets too much hate for being "different". I love the goofy cut scenes, the crazy spinning game mechanic and wild 70's aesthetic. Some games feel like the developers themselves had fun making it and it shows. Relax and just have fun with this hidden gem.… Full Review »
