How does your game fit the theme?
You drive your bus in a continious circle like many buslines do. Passengers you pick up might want to go to a bus stop you just passed, so to get as much money as you can you need to go through the loop as many times as you can.

I've seen a lot of games where you just go down the same loop track but this one puts a great spin on the idea! Having passengers that go to different bus stops makes you thing about how you organise your route. If there's one thing I may suggets it would be great if you knew where people want to go before you pick them, it allow for better strategizing!

As weird as the control initially felt, by the time I figured them out, the control of the bus actually felt pretty great! Never reached a point where the timer seemed to matter, which kinda killed the need to go as fast as possible (even though I still did). Honestly the core game here is already really solid, I imagine just having more time to flesh everything out is all the game really needs. Nice work!

Fun idea! I needed to practice a bit to get the hang of the controls, but it's funny. Drifts are very satisfying. At one point, I even managed to drive under the map. :D

this is better than forza horizon 5. seriously tho i kinda love how stupid but fun this thing is :) like the way passengers basically function as coins which you then have to throw away. def one of the silliest and 'intentionally bad' ones i've played so far on this jam and i absolutely love it for that!

Fun game! It took me awhile to understand the controls but that's just a skill issue on my part. Silly charming game!

Super fun little game. Enjoyed it a lot. Just wish that drifting was more viable :D

I really enjoyed the controls and drifting is so fun and satisfying and Shooting out passengers made me laugh

I love the fact that your health is the number of tires on the bus. Really cool submission - good job!

Took me a while but man that was just pure fun! The drifting is really really fun. I actually didn't even bother dropping of passengers. I think since the driving takes up most of the player's focus, I would suggest not having "bus stops" as a mechanic, so the player can just drop off passengers wherever they please.

I love how silly your game is, it's a funny concept!

Haha, the way you drift and then you regain insane speed is so much fun! Loved yeeting passengers out of the bus.

This game is so sick! I wish I could control the stick shift with the arrow keys, it feels so not precise with the mouse.
But the driving is crazy, full break into full throttle, cool mechanic picking up and shooting out passengers. Clearly this is the future of racing games

I really like this one, somewhat of an unpopular opinion but the controls feel really hard to grasp, maybe if the mouse also would allow me to turn left-right it woudlve been amazing! Good job regardless, i did enjoy it and the art & music are pretty cool.
