I lost my patience playa

rose 2022-10-03 20:23

Fun theme! Who knew driving a bus was so hard? The driving mechanic (and the limited field of view) is tricky but I started to get the hang of it after playing more, which is satisfying.

omaewander 2022-10-03 20:54

@rose Thank you so much!

omaewander 2022-10-03 20:54

@usenrame Thank you!

raivk 2022-10-03 21:13

Cool entry!

keerti-shetty 2022-10-03 21:17

Nice sound effects first thought helicopter came to rescue me but it exploded my bus man nice controls

motti 2022-10-03 21:20

This is so fun to play, love it!

rex-tv 2022-10-03 21:20

Love it

martysarc 2022-10-03 21:29

Great idea and lots of fun!

baylock 2022-10-03 21:30

Great game...Really cool graphics. Got a little confused and found it hard to get the actual objective but got the hook after a while.

davidbradbury 2022-10-03 21:34

Nice work! Can't seem to rate the game, but I enjoyed the look and gameplay. Kept oversteering at first hitting the wall but got used to it. Would maybe like to see another layer as the rounds go on (Cross through a city? Avoid animals or pedestrians? etc...) but still had a good time! Nice work!

socrazzy 2022-10-03 21:34

Nice Game! I Love the wiggle of the bus when you drift left and right!

pygargue-pirate 2022-10-03 21:36

Really Game ! I love the graphics !

pbg 2022-10-03 21:36

Fun! Looks great, and a nice twist on an auto runner. Is it possible to win? The bomb number seems to go up and done. Anyways, looks great and fits the theme nicely. Well done!

sephowepho 2022-10-03 21:37

That was great! I had a few problems starting out, with how the bus controlled; but after a little while of getting used to it I really enjoyed the game! My one complaint would probably be how the SWAT helicopters spawn randomly, regardless of if there's a car in the way... But other than that, I really liked it! Something about the graphics struck me as neat, specifically the explosions, so good job! :laughing: (I wish you had ratings enabled, I would love to grade it...)

chonghan-wang 2022-10-03 21:42

this is fun, I am impressed by the turning too long caused drifting effects. Always doge the SWAT at the beginning

01edward01 2022-10-03 21:49

The turning mechanic is very fun! loved it!

joshua-denk 2022-10-03 21:52

The movement in particular is really fun! Right on the edge of out of control

valentinis 2022-10-03 21:55

Coool

ryan-macumber 2022-10-03 21:56

Love it, very cool and straight forward, great feel and control, although it took me awhile to figure out what I was supposed to be doing to the swat guys, some story or context might of helped in addition to possibly other ui guidance

kman 2022-10-03 21:56

I really like the game! The movement is interesting and the concept is great. I never thought I would play a game like this! Great job! Really fun to play!

saintchristopher777 2022-10-03 21:57

Nice Game! Graphics, sound, and controls are all really smooth. The page isn't letting me rate it for some reason though :-(

mistagiggles 2022-10-03 21:59

Really fun, very chaotic but a great concept

c4ris 2022-10-03 22:02

The detail you spent in the bus controls shows I had fun trying to figure out the best possible way to sneak by the cars. I was able to position the bus between two lanes for awhile but a larger vehicle came through and ended my streak. I think the counter is a little confusing if it goes up when you get the swat team to remove a bomb. Great game, had me eagerly playing a few rounds.

omaewander 2022-10-03 23:13

@pbg Thanks a lot! You can win if beat my record lvl 6 😎

djtequila 2022-10-04 01:13

The way the bus sways and sounds makes it feel really satisfying to control. Well done!

lavendaggers 2022-10-04 21:11

Fun and made me laugh!

omaewander 2022-10-04 21:45

@lavendaggers Thank you!

kaylalalavalentine 2022-10-04 22:58

This is a really fun game! I can’t control very well though aaa!! I keep crashing into the wall!!! Love it though

dae-udain 2022-10-04 23:02

This game just has really great game feel to it. The sound effects are really well done, and you can feel the impact of the explosions very well. I do think the bus driver would have a lot more success if he wasn't driving face first into traffic though :)

dae-udain 2022-10-04 23:03

Also, for people having trouble rating the game, simply click on the creator's profile (omaewander), click on his games, and then click the Ludum Dare 51 entry. It'll take you to the main jam page, where the ratings are now visible.

velvetlobster 2022-10-04 23:07

interesting take on the car lane game. I would like the bus to take a bit longer or a harder hit to get a gamer over though, cause it is pretty satisfying to hit on things and destroy the cars, far too satisfying to want to avoid them lol.

rodolfodth 2022-10-04 23:13

the phonk made me play even more :P

johnnysix 2022-10-04 23:16

This was fun ! It'd be cool to see a different view of the bus when you fail, like you have in the beauty render, to really showcase the explosions! Great particle fx there!

omphh 2022-10-04 23:18

Nice graphics and bus is fun to control. I'd say moving the camera behind the bus would of worked better, but quickly got used to it being where it is anyway! Like others, wasn't sure what to do with swat, but when I hit once, made started making sense. Good job!! :v:

misfire-dev 2022-10-05 13:11

the track goes hard, the gameplay is good, its an absolutely solid game

neowhoru 2022-10-05 19:00

really cool game, nice gameplay and very great graphics.

ironjeff 2022-10-05 19:16

very funny game =) nice job team!

omaewander 2022-10-05 19:26

@ironjeff Thanks! And btw i was alone xD

omaewander 2022-10-05 19:27

@neowhoru @misfire-dev @omphh @johnnysix @rodolfodth @velvetlobster @dae-udain @kaylalalavalentine Thank you very much for playing my game and for feedback. I really appreciate that! <3

lame-rat 2022-10-05 19:50

Nice but the bus runs on oil

drummermansam 2022-10-05 19:57

Pretty chill game ha. I like how the movement of the bus feels as you drift around cars and its funny when the swat guy flies out of the bus after getting the bomb. Nice job!

omaewander 2022-10-16 14:37

@lame-rat Thank you! ha ha

omaewander 2022-10-16 14:37

@drummermansam Thank you, appreciate that! <3
