I was actually pretty surprised with this! Actually pretty fun to play and manage. I now understand why the "fix bugs" strategem exists. Though, I would recommend tuning down the audio, it was pretty grating some times.

There's a lot going on with this game, and not a lot in the way of in-game feedback, so I found it a little disorienting. I can tell that it's impressively put together and I like the way you can focus on the different windows, but without clear directives it can be challenging to get into. I like the visuals and music, and the overall systems are spot-on! Really impressive work for a jam.
The amount of motion sickness was worth the 5 minutes of playing I could do.
This game just proved that I would be the worst bus driver. Really fun and realistic multitasking/multimanaging/bus driving sim, I enjoyed a lot
Took me a while to fully grasp, has a lot of individual moving parts, but overall quite fun.
I feel like the game could've used a tutorial. I can see a lot of thing,s but I'm not sure what I have to actually do.
Would be nice if bus stops were signaled slightly earlier too and the bus was more in the middle of the screen - it was a little hard to follow right now.
The UI looks cool though.
Was confusing at first, but after I got the hang of picking passengers, giving change and buying upgrades it felt amazing. Riding the bus is just so relaxing.
What I played was enjoyable but the game could have definitely benefitted from a tutorial and gradual introduction of the mechanics. Still a good entry though!
It was fairly confusing at first. The people on the side of the road could wave, or something, and there could be more warning. But I got the hang of it. The best score seemed to come from squashing the big bugs.
That was cozy. Took a couple minutes to figure out, had a nice gentle nightcall run. The guys never bugged out btw.
It took me some time to understand what to do but then it all made sense and I had a good time — loved to be a bus driver haha Also the UI is innovative so good job on that!
I like that there are many game mechanics interacting with each other. But it was difficult to figure out how to play: I think the game would really benefit from some in-game hints or even a tutorial.
Also, the game froze when one of the passengers tried to leave the vehicle while I was driving.
Still, it's always fun to run over some bugs! Great job!
I'm very sorry because it looks cool, the little sounds, the graphics, but I understood absolutely nothing... I'm not likely to go and defend democracy
