A mobile game for those with a great amount of patience

Keeping the traffic going in a roundabout is one thing that few people have thought of, just for fun. Still, baby-soft has seen a challenging concept in this and used it for developing the RoundaboutX mobile phone game.

At 7 AM everybody is heading to work and streets are crammed with cars trying to make their way through the chaos. A roundabout is usually the place which brings the greatest amount of car jam level. Seems like the place to be, only without the loud horns and the car smoke to interfere in getting the job done as fast and efficient as possible.

It might sound at first that RoundaboutX's concept is incredibly easy to accomplish, but the game has some surprises set for the player. Car drivers prove to be highly stubborn and tend to get themselves in the greatest possible jam. Moreover, they hate it when they have to wait for a long period of time, as it would only be natural from people heading towards their offices.

The player uses the joystick in order to regulate the ingoing cars until they drive out of the roundabout. It's not as easy to do as it sounds. The player must show a great amount of coolness, patience and good reaction to avoid crashes. For those who love driving and handling soliciting situations, RoundaboutX might be just the perfect mobile game to glue them to the keypad of their handsets.

Some people might have the natural ability to do this successfully within a few seconds. Those who apply are invited to take care of the roundabout which manages to be an alarm clock for me too at 7AM, every morning.

Players can compare their RoundaboutX performance by registering at the RumbleX online highscore list. There are less than 100 names listed in the ranking at this time, which gives any new player high chances of taking a leading spot with the help of the needed skills.
