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

Kuru Kuru Kuruin meets gleefully silly FMV in this wonderfully tactile arcade game.

Roundabout's story is short-lived, but it's jam-packed with humor and crazy, quirky action.

It's a very silly game indeed but there's a sweetness at its centre that would put even the finest fondant to shame. Through all the raised eyebrows, ill-fitting costumes and fluffed lines, Roundabout has a sincerity that makes me happy to recommend it to anyone, even if it did fool me into playing a puzzle game.

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.
