This was pretty fun. I like that youre basically stuck on this bus trying to make it home while constantly checking if somebody is about to take your money 😭 It gives you a reason to keep looking around instead of just waiting for the ride to finish.
Visually its a solid 4/5 for me. I like the characters and the whole bus setting. I think some stronger visual feedback would help a lot though. When money gets stolen maybe the bill could flash or shake for a second. Even a little hand animation or red effect would make it WAY clearer what just happened.
Gameplay is also a 4. Id probably make the quieter sections a little shorter and add more small random events between the bigger ones. Even simple things like having to check your stop or react to something happening outside could give you more reasons to look forward and make the whole ride feel less repetitive. The UFO guy part could also have different things to search for instead of basically the same target every time its repetetive.
Audio is around 3/5 for me. It felt a bit empty sometimes. More bus sounds would help a lot. Engine noise. Brakes. People talking quietly. Stuff happening outside. Maybe some subtle music too but honestly even just stronger ambience would already make the game feel much more alive.
Theme is easily 5/5 though. Turning a normal bus ride home into this stressful trip where youre just trying to keep your money is a really fun interpretation.
Good job with this one :) There are already a lot of good ideas here. Mostly Id work on feedback variety and making every part of the ride feel like something could happen.
And if all of you have some free time please check out my game too! Id really appreciate a rating and some feedback from you guys :)
