Can Your Taxi Squeeze In?
About This Game
Spot the gaps between cars circling the roundabout and slip in one taxi at a time.
At a roundabout in front of a station at night, you guide taxis into the flow of traffic one at a time. Tap the screen, and the taxi at the front of the line pulls out. You can't change direction by where you tap. Watch for gaps between cars and choose when to go. If you hit a moving car or a taxi you sent out earlier, you fail the level.
The tighter the gap with the cars, the more points you get for merging in. The base points are 10 for a normal merge, 30 for a "Close call!", and 60 for a "Super close!". If you merge in quick succession, the second taxi gets a ×1.5 multiplier, and from the third taxi on it's ×2. For each taxi, you decide whether to wait for a safe gap or go for high points by sending them out back to back. The roundabout has not only cars but also long buses and trucks. Even if you press at the same timing, the gap you can use changes with the length of the vehicle passing by.
You clear the first level by merging in 8 taxis. From the next level, the number needed goes up by 2 each time, to a maximum of 16. As the levels go up, the cars get faster and more of them are buses. Clear a level to move on to the next. The level you reach is saved, and next time you can start from there. "Play again" after a crash restarts the same level. Rankings compare your best score in a single level, for today and for all time.
How to play
Tap Start on the title screen to begin. Tap the screen to send the first taxi in line into the roundabout. Aim for the gaps so you don't hit the cars going around. Get the required number of taxis in to clear the level.
Tips
- There's a short delay between tapping and entering. Tap a little before the gap arrives.
- Buses are long, so check where the back end is before you go in.
- Send in the next taxi before the multiplier ring in the middle disappears to keep your combo going.
