So open the game tab and click on ‘Start’ to begin the game. The connections move rapidly across the screen and you have to figure the most appropriate place to connect with maximum possible people and hit the left click button on your mouse.
If you’ve got time to kill, or you’re bored, or just simply tired of working, then this game is a perfect way to unwind without having to leave your seat.
If you’re ready for some connected fun, try out the game here.

Nimbuzz has become an integral part of user’s daily lives. Whether it is texting or sharing updates and photos, reaching out to the mobile phone seem to be our first reaction. However, a limited data plan is a let-down and leaves us constantly checking data consumption levels.
