Nice dinger! Impressive for such little time!
The "I'm Stuck" button is a pro touch : )
I'm on my way to GrockJockers now!

Oi! Nice sound effects and graphics.
I got through several levels but eventually the bus just kept spinning and spinning, even after pressing the I'm Stuck button. But it's clear you spent a lot of time on making interesting levels to drive around!
Nice touch on matching with the theme
I couldn't help but chuckle at the kids leaping at the bus and sticking to it, or the way they flew off in all directions once I got to the school.
By the way, you have your previous games listed on your profile but not this one
@shaolin-dave glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for noting that submission time was 10pm for me and after finializing everything I figured there were a few things that got missed
@kapura There are a few bugs we didn't have time to iron out, unfortunately that's one of them. That bug has something to do with wheel colliders and the physics engine I think. We had one bug early on where the bus did tons of kickflips which was **TOTALLY RAD**, but annoying.
Funny concept! But I don't think it gets harder the more students you have (maybe slower?)
One sugestion: make the acceleration and deceleration stronger.
@eric-florio The top speed gets lower with more people, the turning radius gets larger with more people and theres the chance that the students might collide with things and stop you, maybe I should have made it a little more pronounced. You have no idea how hard I tried to get the acceleration and deceleration to work better. Using WheelColliders in unity is a nightmare! this was the result of a days work. I think it might be possible by applying forces to the vehicle in addition to or instead of the motor simulation that is supports. In the end we just didn't have the time to get it how we wanted it.
The short response, good suggestion, I agree.
Good graphics and good level design. But I was hard to feel bad status a little. The moving of students is very funny and nice.
Nice low poly graphics, although I noticed a lot of the streetlights dropped through the world. Had fun driving around and knocking trees around. I couldn't find the school on level 2. Would love to know what Grockjockers is.
Weird and really fun.
@mike-cullingham Glad you enjoyed it. The streetlight issue only seems to happen on the web version so we've been having some difficulty tracking that down. The school is on the middle island in level 2. Grockjockers is a discount grocery store, they have great sales on donuts!
I love bus simulators and this is one of them :) I only have suggestions already mentioned here...
Quite a nice game. Is nice that you can collide with trees. The hardest part for me was to find the school to complete the level.

fun/humor 5, i would give 6 if i could xd those flying students xd well done.
Audio is too loud, UI and Text was kind of simple/boring. A "I'm Stuck" button is kind of alarming. I didn't really notice the bus handling becoming worse, I felt that the bus had its brakes removed by the kids attached to its side. Overall is a interesting funny game but the gameplay isn't that fun.
An interesting idea for the game. Studying and going to classes ... It seems to me that there is little time to level
Funny game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdHqgfn9vOI
