I enjoyed this more than I like to admit for a game about turning pedestrians into a bloody pulp! :) I want to give you props in particular for the sound design and the comedy!

Developer

I was wondering if I was playing it correctly, then I figured "if my screen looks more like the screenshots, I'm doing something right..."

Congrats on the game's release!

Fun use of audio!

Developer

What specific part of it did you like with the audio? If I may ask😇.  Did you also try enabling the music ?

Submitted(+1)

i thought having the two sounds for acceleration and stopping was clever! I did not get to check the music I dont think :0

Developer

Thanks for clarifying. I also  think it add a little diemension to a rather simple game, great you noticed :D 

Submitted(+1)

A simple but surprisingly fun game, running over a bunch of passengers is so satisfying. My only complaint is that right-clicking to move feels a little weird.

Developer

Ty comrade. I went with RTS right click movement, what would you have preferred instead? Keyboard input ?

Thanks for playing😀😀🤠

Submitted(+1)

The mouse movement is fine, I just think left-clicking to move would make more sense. That was my first intuition after finding out that neither WASD nor the arrow keys do nothing. The box-drawing that's presently on the left-click doesn't seem to do anything gameplay-wise anyway, so it could probably be removed.

Developer(+1)

All you are writing makes sense :D Appreciate your feedback!

Submitted(+1)

I kept trying to click and drag the mouse, hoping that the bus would effectively follow my mouse around the map. Once I figured out you just click once and the bus goes zoom, it was great fun to click around and proceed to not pick up passengers. Nice job!

Developer

Ma maaan, sorry I didnt add any tutorial ingame. The idea with the select drag was to have multiple busses to select from also selecting the passengers not to pick up , but then it pivoted into this. And then the idea changed to that I wanted the passengers and bus to blow up in case you selected them. But ran short on time, so this is were we ended 🤪. I'm happy that you after all round the right click to fuck up some passengers which definitely not are going in the bus 😂😂thank for playing🥹

Very charming animations!


Looks like I get an error on Firefox (same as Jukio). It worked just fine on Brave though!

Thanks ma dude. 

Thanks for trying both browsers, my brave didnt work the one day and then it did the next. So im unsure what actually causing it. It seems like it got its live on its own. :D

Quality gameplay

🙏🙏 thanks comrade :)

For my defense, some of them ran into the bus by themselves! :D Right now it's a little too simple, but I see potential doing something similar to vampire survivor with it. lol

Developer

Haha it's a feature not a bug 🪲🙈🙈

Yes I feel you it the minimal edition , thanks for playing anyway☀️☀️🔥

Drift king bus game! :D

Born to drift, live a bus driver! Running over people?! Lol

Developer (2 edits) (+1)

haha :D 

That what the plan :D 

I had some idea i didn't manage to implement, had to focus on the core, but im sure you would have enjoyed it, here is the list:

x) Missing features: Selecting passengers with the mouse blow them up

x) Selecting the bus blow up the bus 

x) set driving mode to: auto pilot. enjoy the killing without having to lift a finger :D 

x) blood spray when hitting passengers

x) wheel tracks / blood tracks

Submitted(+1)

A bit confusing, I don't understand what the goal of the game is... Still, impressive for getting it done in less than 12 hours! Congrats on your submission :)

Developer(+1)

The game is about how not to pick up any passengers. One way to do that could be to run over passengers :D. 

You can see stats when pressing esc.

Driving on the buttons either inceases spawn time or decreases spawn time of passengers. The web version run a little slower in spawn time compared to the .exe or .love version :) so as i write for the best exeperince get the download version, but really there is no big objective. it was aimed to be sorta a casual game, that also why i left out printint the core directly on screen :D 

Anyhow, thank you so much for playing and giving this comment. And thanks for for your words, i really appreciate it :)

Thanks for providing this Jukio.

I just tried it my self, i Can play the game in firefox and edge but not in brave browser. Do you mind trying in another browser? If it still screws you, I hope you will download the executable version :) 

And also what browser did you use?

Submitted(+1)

Hmm, mine is Firefox also... But downloaded the .love file and got to play! Great sounds and graphics! Not sure if there was a further point to the game, other than driving over aliens? Loved how the bus screeched to a halt, hah! Great job finishing the jam!!
