This game is pretty goofy. Controls are a bit too slidey and theres a glitch that causes you to not stop after stopping for more passengers. Still the game is pretty funny and kept my interest until the game ended. Nice job!
Funny game! WebGL was definitely hard to play, but at least you have it as an option and gave the warning going in. Cool entry! :)
I enjoyed this game and the music is awesome!!
Wow, the bus is just uncontrollable! And other cars keep crashing in me, even when I stopped at station.
@royoyo Well the idea is that the bus becomes hard to drive the more passengers you get. But I never intended to be uncontrollable. And yeah they crash on you on the stops, but they don't affect your health, so it's okay.
It's pretty good! I think it's too easy though. More traffic or less HP would make it more interesting. The art is good but it could have used some post processing :)
Maybe its just my leet Crazy Taxi skillz, but I beat this first go with 200+ passengers :sunglasses:
Maybe some kind of points system to reward 'perfectly' stopping would have been nice, or have passengers board much slower the further away from the stop you stop at...? Things to consider if you expand on this post-Jam, but this is a solid entry as is (although slightly disappointing it just ends after one level - maybe could have just restarted that level with a lower initial time limit each time?)
Crazy Taxi got nothing on this.

Fell in love with this game the moment I saw the thumbnail. A bus so crammed with people that they were popping out of it? That's _my_ kind of weird. I'm glad to see that the game managed to live up to the high expectations I had on it.
This game was a wacky romp, with some funny comments. But the real deal was by the end of the run, where the thing was noticeably harder to control. So there I was, clumsily driving a bus of sardine-like people, grinning like an idiot throughout the short ride.
While simple and short, this was one heck of an experience. Great job! In behalf of my team, we're looking forward to what you can come up with in the future! Cheers! :whale:
The physics of the bus is chaotic, I love it ! The difference between each load is well implemented. Great job.
Good game and a lot of fun. Physics were a bit whacky but that just added to the difficulty, especially with a full bus. Fits the theme well.
Overall a fun game, though I did have a few problems. First, the bus takes forever to stop when empty. Stopping is actually one of the things seemingly made easier by having too many people on the bus. Second, you seem to be scored based on the number of passengers but I didn't seem to have any control over that? Finally, the biggest issue I had was with the other cars. There's not really any way to avoid them. They just drive in straight lines and make no attempts to avoid the bus whatsoever. I noticed that you turned off damage while the bus was being loaded, which was nice, but I would have preferred that cars at least try not to hit the bus in the first place.
Still, this was a fun game to play and it captured the theme pretty well. Nice work!
Interesting physics game. Music was definitely top quality. Web version ran ok for me.
That's an excelent game, I want more of it! So, more levels or an arcade mode would be great post-jam addition. Also while the music is good and, as rarely seen, adapt to the situation by adding tracks, there is little to no sound effects. Drifting tires, crowd sound (with exclamations),... could add a layer of chaos over an already excelent game.
Wow this was great. I am of those guys that do not know how to use the breaks, so I GTAed it, but I got the point :). I would love some settings on the sensitivity of the turns or maybe the front and back movement speed. Considering how polished the current UI is I do not thing this would be too much. Nice job !!
It feels far too easy to land upside down. Sometimes I didn't even know why this had sent me flying. Also, the speedometer is bonkers. And the worst thing about this game... is having just one level. Come on, make a post-jam version, because this surely deserves it!
Nice game you have here. SUPER WELL DONE!
Come check out my game if you like! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/virus-detected
Excellent job on the music, and you managed to get a strong core of a game to carry it too! As other people have mentioned, I'm a little disappointed there was only one level, since the game didn't feel like it was hitting it's stride until right at the end for me. Still good work at putting this all together within the period of the jam!
A fun game. I loved the way the bus became harder to control as the number of passengers grew. I did manage to reach the end of the level on my first try, so I would have liked to have seen more passengers piling up in there! I was expecting more levels and was disappointed when the game ended because I had a lot of fun. The music was great, the visuals were nice and the game play was fun.
My only issue was that the other cars would bump into me when I was loading passengers, which didn't feel fair to me.
Overall, a fun game with great potential!
This was fun would've been nice to have some more levels but well done overall it's a really good entry.
