Very, very funny game. It's rare to see a game that's able to be funny through its mechanics alone, and pull it off so well. I also loved the voices of the passengers, I even heard one or two of them say "Leave me alone!".
This is actually a pretty special one. I wish you could filter for games like these, with web builds and simple click to play buttons.
The art here is consistent and clear. It gets right to the point. The sounds are wonderful. No popping or earsplitting decibel levels.
My favorite thing is how its funny cuz its real. At my uni it was the same deal. Packed buses suck. You always kinda needed someone to push the people away from the main doors. Awesome game.
So silly and so funny. Really playful sort of feel to this game. It's one of those games where you have fun just doing random things like closing doors on people or leaving the doors open while the bus is going.
This is a really polished game for the most part. I really like the graphics and the sound effects when you click on the people's numbers. What I'd change is rather than clicking the number let me click on the person. This would make it easier and much more fun to play. What is your efficiency? Mine was 161 I believe.
feel good to play it ,easy funny relaxing
Great idea, well executed! Good job man :)
Really like this idea and the execution is nice, only change i would have is to make the clickable area or the passengers just a little bigger. This could work really nice with gestures on a mobile device if you decide to take it further.
Amazing game, I love the idea and the execution! It's super fun to figure out how exactly to manage everyone, and I love the audio - it fits incredibly well.
@seafishelle @michael-feldman @dimlyorchid @madar-games @joker-v @drunkardwolf @connorthompson @asleepforthree
Thank you all for the comments. I'm pretty happy you enjoy this little work. :laughing:
@madar-games My efficiency is about 2000+/h. When to open doors is the key to achieve higher efficiency. And thanks for your advice. :bus:
@connorthompson This game is made for 1080p resolution, so it would be a little smaller for clicking as Html5. And thanks for the gesture control advice, sounds very attractive. :v:
Liked it. Fun simple concept. A.I was on point
Wow I really love this game. The idea is very unique and the execution is great. The audio is funny because it is all gibberish. Very well done.
However I still don't understand what the number stand for and I don't really know if the passenger has paid yet. Also would be nice to make the number clicking area bigger for easier clicking.
Overall, very well done!
@htmichael Thanks for your playing. Yeah, A.I act 'well' as expected. :laughing:
@jackyjjc Extra instruction is added. I'm glad that you enjoy this little game. :bus:
I really liked the game. It was really fun to see all the characters fight to get in and out of the bus! The game is simple but very effective!
Fun overloaded. Ticket collection process at the front side makes it more fun and challenging. Cool SFX too. Love it :) :) :) One small concern is the smaller click area on HTML5 version.
This is a really neat concept and also my personal hell, I hate crowded public transport!
Really well executed, great use of the theme!
Sneaky buggers, trying to avoid paying for tickets \*shakes fist\*
There's a nice attention to detail on the people in the game. Their animations and different clothing styles. I like it!
@oneiros @jambav @starven @donitz I'm glad that you have a good time in this game. Thanks for your playing. :sunglasses:
@jambav I will try to fix the small click area issue. Thanks for the advice.
Such a funny game! I feel myself as the bus driver, struggling with passengers... here in Panama there are old buses named "Diablos rojos" in which bus driver has always to yell over the passengers to move backwards great job man!
Interesting that you used Chinese as the main language, But darn this game reminds me so much of the public transport, Thanks for all the awful memories
Got an efficiency of 1115/h i'll let you tell me if it's good or bad. I left some people on the street though... Cool entry! clicking on the number is quite hard and unpredictable and opening the front door always seems to unleash hell on my bus. the back door is easier to manage. i think that flaging front door as entering and backdoor as exit and only clicking on bad behaviour or to push people inside could lead to a more interesting gameplay. It's funny because your game is the other side of this one : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/stuck
critics aside, i played the game to the end and really enjoyed it. graphics are nice and the tutorial mission is a nice addition to it.
I like to drive with doors open. Nice game
Awesome, reminds me of my country xD
I love crowd mechanic and this game is great. Great polish for a weekend game.
Just one thing: how you have to time the doors to actually convince people to use front door to get on the bus?
**Pretty consistent game!** Fits perfectly with the theme and the humor is on point. Love the sound effect when you push the little people. Great job
A simple game, but that is part of its charm! Quick and fun! Thanks!
The Best game i have seen for LD42! The mechanic is not only fun but also remind people something. REALLY LOVE IT! 中文太好笑了！
Nice game, could be better with some music.
this game sums up my experience getting into the subway sometimes, I laughed sometimes when they got stuck or just the flood of people tying to get in and out. It's a nice idea, congrats
Really fun and entertaining game, despite the memories! :D I love the audio, it adds so much to the mood of the game. Will have to play it few more times to try and find a perfect balance between complaints and time spent. I've always tried to win with no complaints, but then I've decided to take a look at what will happen if I open doors midway, so... Untitled.png
I love the muffled german voices, haha. Sounds really funny. Also, the AI is actually pretty good for such a small game.
This game is amazing!! I loved the idea and the voices... OMG The voices! So incredible! Great work!
Good game, sound make this too realist. And like some other remid me, some moment in everyday life (but here you can push passenger outside the bus in midway ;) )
Very impressive pathfinding system, great works ! I have some probleme with passenger who want to be outside and push people from the outside... Some weird guys I think.
The game is very interesting, I like the voice they are saying. It reminds me the days I must go to work by bus... That is terrible days... :rofl:
very fun game~There are even some strategies in it~
I enjoyed this concept, the action when clicking on the passengers doesn't always seem clear (but that could just be me). Having to pile everyone back in after a stop is particularly funny. A mobile version of this would be pretty fun.
I enjoyed the "get out of the way" feeling I was experiencing throughout the game. I also liked the different languages the characters spoke in their funny chipmunk tones. This is a game that genuinely made me chuckle on multiple occasions. With that said, I cannot see it turned into anything other than a quirky jam game.
Very good fit with the theme. It was fun to push people to the back and seeing all characters pushing each other. Well done :)
would you rate my game as well? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/no-vacancy
Hey! Really nice idea here, one of the most related to the theme entries, most of the things are fine, yet I think the AI need a little bit more of polish, I believe this could be a mobile game hit.
Awesome job!
Like the characters and the vibe of the game. Clicking the numbers never felt very successful. The characters always seemed to prefer the rear entrance and would then get stuck. I never really felt in control of the systems. Neat use of the concept though!
This was such an amazing and fun entry! Loved the concept, loved the graphics and sound. Execution was super good as well. I would sometimes get frustrated at the customers as I couldn't get some people out the bus lol
Super fun!

I will play, rate and comment all of your games. :laughing:
@dray 1115/h is a good efficiency. And yes the Stuck game provides another point of view about an overloaded transportation. Really admire Stuck's great polish.
@kromeboy The point is don't open the rear door too early, because all of the passengers are eager to get on the bus. :laughing:
@wahooney Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe I could make a post-jam version with a more control-able gameplay with your advice.
@arbosis Sure, Why not? :v:
@joemag Clicking the numbers is the action to push passengers going to the rear part of the bus. So if there is no space around the passenger, it may seem not working. Thanks for the comments, Maybe I could design a more control-able gameplay in post-jam version.
This game is super fun! The voices add a nice touch to the feel of the game. I felt a bit frustrated with not being able to fully take control of the gameplay however. Even though I can control the front and rear door, I can hardly predict or control which way the passengers go. It would be great if you could give more control to players imho. And of course, Some splashes of blood when you run over passengers in front of the bus is always appreciated :P
@kingofwhawha Sorry for the no-fully control gameplay. But you know the 'bus driver' can only control doors and ask the passenger to move forward. :laughing: I will consider some splashes of blood and a more controllable gameplay in post-jam version. Thanks for your advice.
A great example of how to achieve depth and fun through simple mechanics.
So stressful! haha But amusing to play. The voices were cool, all those little angry people. I just left the doors open and herded them on and off like cattle. A few were long along the way, but that efficiency!
So the passengers talk German, but the bus announcements are Chinese? :smile: Very funny game, definitely reminds me bus journeys.
A really good take on the theme. I enjoyed it!
This must be one of the best game in the jam that fit the theme well and have some innovations. Graphics are nice! Cute sound effect when you click on passenger (你瞅啥)
The game is nicely polished and enjoyable!
Great job.
@dave-grey @alex-adedge @oadt @robo-chiz @amba Thanks for the comments. I am very happy that you enjoy this little game. :laughing:
Unfortunately I didn't really feel that I am running out of space, but this is a very solid entry and I had really fun time with your game. Do they really say "leave me alone" ? :-D Great job!
A very nice little game that fit the theme well, the graphics were also simple but to the job done. Ai was abit stupid, but still got the job done. Very nice.
“马超, 还不快一点上车?”
This is a lot of fun, and shows really nicely the way that crowds behave. It's silly and difficult, and it feels nicely finished. I'm not sure if there could possibly be more depth added to the gameplay somehow, but it feels nice enough as it stands.
Really fun game, very chaotic. You could turn this idea in a very nice game.
That was really fun game the voices were cute as hell. GJ! :)
@jin9310 @darylsteak @bracula @tortov @chrissx2 Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to play our game and leave comments. :laughing:
@jin9310 Yes, they say "Leave me alone" and " Oh my feet". XD
Very fun game :). Loved the art and voices too. Very polished game. It was fun to drive the bus with the doors open, LOL.
Great Job!
Very fun, relaxing and funny games. When playing, I got a passenger stuck onto the front of the bus. I had a thought of lots of ragdolls in the bus like "Human fall flat". Audio was great - inc voices.
this was super fun! love it! I can see a full game with differnet kind of vehicles (door combinations) and passengers behaviours. really great entry, good job!
你瞅啥？我的包子！ :joy:
Speaking from experience, this is exactly like normal public transport :) Well done. polished and fun. I liked it.
It is just like normal public transport. I can relate to the mood of the commuters. Fun to play.
Your npcs act just like people on the bus. I'm getting on this bus, I don't care if you're getting off or if I have to go through you. Really enjoyed my time with it, loved the voices.
It is so satisfying to look at people pouring out from the bus! :laughing: I love the sound effect when people are clicked. Though it sounds as if they are speaking Japanese and Chinese alternatively.
Funny game. Wish it was a bit easier to control the people. Had a few times where some one got stuck outside of the bus and I couldn't get them in. Great job!
Well i found it a bit fustrating to play ... there is probably some realism in there though ! x) Nice idea by the way ;) You can try our game if you have time :)
@keyurrana @mza @rodobodolfo @ginger9 @jcwelgemoed @mammabouter @ravenflame @knithguris @jessefreeman @alex-brull Thank you for playing our game!
@alex-brull Well, People in an overloaded bus is always frustrating. :laughing: I will design some more control-able gameplay in the post-jam version. Thanks for your feedback and I will try your game.:D
Greaaat game !! I love the sound of the people when you push them xD
Very nicely captures that feeling of some people are sooo stupid and overall frustration of busy public transport system. I liked it. Only issues I saw occasionally some of the above-the-head numbers would get really small as others have mentioned a little stuck AI. I would be really nice if you could designate doors and in or out only but that might make it too easy?
雅蠛蝶。。
Great mechanics for a small game, doesn't lag either on web, so that's a good point. I don't know how i feel about paid assets on a jam, i think you should have done the assets yourself since there's not much to be done in terms of background. But it's still a great entry ! Good job guys.
@dyzzyd @listonos @shrekshao @anstabo Thanks for playing our game! :laughing:
@anstabo According to the rule "You’re free to use 3rd party Artwork/Music/Audio assets, or assets you previously created, but we ask that you OPT-OUT of the respected voting categories (Graphics, Audio)." , using paid assets is allowed. And I have removed the Graphics Rates due to this rule.
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules/
I still need to make lots of effort to have the asset-making skills. Done all the assets by myself is a long-term goal for me.Thanks for your advice. :laughing:
These passengers are so rude, impatiently entering from the back of the bus... I can't help but drive away without them. It's very satisfying to do. Very funny, and mostly-accurate-to-life game!
This game is a very good interpretation of the theme! I loved the atmosphere of this little management game with its minimalist graphic style but so funny! I think some extra feedback on the gameplay would make the game even better! Great job! :)
By the way please feel free to leave us some feedbacks on our game!
Opened the door while the bus is running! RIP!

Passengers are so funny! 音效做的真的很好笑！
I liked the Graphics, and the Gameplay was fun, Nice Game. :thumbsup:
Love it! Easily one of my favorite entries. Found endless entertainment in the little voice overs, "leave me alone!". 10/10 would cramp people on a bus again.
