Roundabout

Very silly and funny, it's a great game

TLDR: An arcade style limousine platforming, pedestrian slaughtering, queer, acid trip, with 70's FMV. The protagonist is Georgio, an endearing limousine driver who has extreme difficulty driving straight, only drives by constantly spinning, and does so while looking good wearing a bow tie and rocking lovely red hair. Georgio never says anything, but that doesn't stop Georgio from going on a variety of ridiculous adventures as they pick up an assortment of passengers, all accompanied by brief FMV clips. Georgio also likes drugs and hallucinates a talking skeleton when they have psilocybin or drop some acid. It's a fun premise! I have mixed feelings about the gameplay itself. Driving while spinning takes some adjusting to but can be figured out quick. When it clicks just right it's a really cool novel mechanic. That doesn't mean it's easy once you understand it. Checkpoints are indeed very generous, which is good because your limousine will blow up many times in the course of the game. What I didn't enjoy so much about the spinning driving is that there's no breaks. The next story mission is usually nearby, but if for some reason you want to traverse the map, you're essentially travelling through multiple mission layouts with road and level hazards that are constantly present. It can feel pretty tedious if you do explore the map, go to a mission/challenge that's farther away, and need to get back to an area. To be clear, driving a spinning vehicle through hazards means a lot of stopping and going, which isn't great for backtracking. The other issue I had with gameplay is that some of the hazard designs feel better than others. Some of them you can navigate just right and it feels smooth and gives a sense of accomplishment. Most feel a little off like you have to wait for your limousine to spin just right when it's spinning slower than other fast moving objects, or you need a certain powerup when you can only equip one at a time. A lot of the missions I ended up brute forcing my way through, checkpoint by checkpoint--hoping I wouldn't blow up before reaching the next one. You always have a speed up and jump ability active. Other equippable powerups are helpful, but it would be nice if you could have more than one equipped. It's a short adventure. I'm glad I took it. But it could have been more fun with some more flexibly designed hazard layouts and powerup offerings. Regardless, it feels like a rare and unique game offering that's worth checking out.

this game is so fun justv casually fun crazy missions. just cant take it too seriously or youll be pissed. otherwise this game is extremely fun, friendly, funny, and entertaining. and its actually a pretty damn big game fpr what it is. i was expecting maybe a quarter of the effort and story. TL:DR 100% worth it

It's decent, if forgettable.

An incredibly funny game that I still think about from time to time ever though its been years since I first played it. The gameplay is smooth and again, I can't say enough about the game's humor.

What if Kuru Kuru Kururin with intentionally cheesy kinda faux-'70s FMV cutscenes, and a talking skeleton, and lesbians.

This game is fun and it makes me laugh. Beth is such an excellent character. If you love Kuru Kuru Kururin and/or indie games that don't waste your time, give it a try!

Um dos jogos de carros mais diferentes e inovadores que já joguei! A primeira vista parece complicadíssimo, mas rapidamente você pega o jeito. É um jogo até meio zoeiro, e bem simples. Mas tenho certeza que garantirá horas de diversão e desafios, e você nunca jogará nada tão parecido! Até mesmo quem não curte muito carros ou jogos de carros assim como eu, gostará desse jogo. É uma proposta muito única e interessante. Sobre a história, é bem fraca. Ainda mais por que tem relação com a cultura woke ou lacração dependendo do seu ponto de vista. Mas dá facilmente para focar apenas na gameplay e se divertir. Recomendo demais o jogo justamente por sua gameplay que é o que realmente cativa.

Ya estoy muy viejo como para dedicarme a platinar este juego, pero si tuviera una década menos definitivamente lo haría, me hizo sentir como un niño en esas páginas de juegos tan clásicas. Solo conduces una limosina que no para de girar mientras te enteras de las vivencias de Georgio Manos, nada más, tampoco es como necesite algo extra, la historia es adorablemente tonta y me dejó con ganas de más. Si está en oferta cómpralo y juégalo, solo dura 2 horas, también se lo puedes poner a un niño, es bastante entretenido. El único problema es que solo está en inglés así que ojo ahí, pero con que tengas un conocimiento básico y los subtítulos es más que suficiente.

If you want cheese, it's got it. If you want puzzle platforming, it's got it. If you want FMVs, it's got it. But most of all, it's got heart. And love. And action. And much more.
