Sorry I'm not being constructive here, but all I can think of in terms of criticism is stuff like “I wish there were more types of enemies and more levels and maybe power-ups or unlockable abilities or something to add diversity”. But then I remember the whole 72 hours situation and I see all those little touches like the girl just chilling in the passenger seat listening to her headphones, and I'm right back to generating a constant flow of useless praise.
You're awesome.
I think the boss fight has a bit too much health, and the fight seemed to drag on longer than necessary. It's tough to balance both the bus and fighting the boss, though not impossible, but it's a super slow fight that seems to go on and on, making the fear of needing to reset the wave dramatically increase the stress in pulling it off. Either that, or give the boss a healthbar, because when you have no idea how much longer this fight will last, it gets a bit demotivating.
All around, I'm a big fan of this game. Great job!

A very well-excecuted figting game, and the cliffhanging touch was just a great addition...
The final boss where you need to go out and fight it while keeping the bus stable was truly awesome. Difficulty was at-spot in my opinion.
Great entry, easy 5!
This does not feel like a game jam game but a production game!
Great graphics! Great music! Great animations! Cleanly implemented!
Just the game mechanics balancing could be a bit better, as it starts already difficult and gets more difficult. For a beginner it would be helpful to be a bit more forgiving in respect to the instability of the bus.
But as said for a game jam game: PERFECT!
It's fun, polished, balanced ! Congratz :D
