River City Transit by vivid-hallucination

[raw]
made by vivid-hallucination for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

There's never enough room on the bus. Being crowded makes you angry, try to maintain your bubble in River City.

Take the bus to your stop, don't get off too early, and don't miss your stop!

Arrow Keys or WASD to move Space or Z to punch

Get yourself a little bit of space.

This was a solo effort, but I missed the deadline for the compo. Please enjoy.

The windows version (downloadable here or on itch) runs smoother. If you run into any stuttering, try it instead.

I killed everyone on the buss, then I killed the driver and was a peace. Cool idea and a creative take on the theme, nice work!

The concept is really fun, but it's a little difficult to understand the game goal. I don't know if it changes something to get happy in the bus.
However, great idea !

i've seen a few metro/bus games during this LD, but punching everyone around is a very useful and pleasant mechanic. I was not entirely sure I understood the point of game correctly, but i got to the end stop and it was very funny

nice idea and fun version of the theme! for me, even the download version was running choppy when the bus got full. But otherwise very cool!

The interpretation of the theme is just amazing! The mood is good too. I love the contrast between the music / graphics and the fact you play an absolute AS&$@#LE ^^. I think you've already thought about it, but a final screen showing your score based on your final happiness and maybe the damage done would be great.

When I saw the Joker on the bus I literally lost it, fun idea and the face mask on the player character exclusively just really sells it. We've all been there

What a nice and relatable concept this game has :laughing: I found that the best way of survival is to just beat everyone up which was pretty hilarious

haha, really good concept for the game. it would've been nice to have an indicator for the "bubble" range, and also a happiness/mood meter. the sound/music fits perfectly

Cool interpretation of the theme. I managed to jump out at my station, although at the end I was pinned down by guys led by a red-eyed freak. Funny!

Had a lot of fun playing your game! It's a short, well scoped silly little adventure, could appreciate the variety in passengers too. Great effort, had a good chuckle!
