I like the idea for it and think it fits the theme well, however I feel like it lacks a strong goal, as there's no time limit or anything for getting the passengers. A time limit would also encourage actually utilizing the switch mechanic I think
With a bit of polish I can see this being a fun game, but at the moment the screen is too small making it hard to follow. Increasing the screen size, including some music, score system and timer would make this quite engaging.
Game fits the theme. I didn't feel overly pushed to utilize the other bus driver once I got the thing moving, I was able to creatively path around that mechanic. I really enjoyed the mechanic of switching, was disappointed I was able to work around it.
If I had to make a suggestion, I would just say to try and plan out the level design to force the player to utilize the two directional nature of the bus more, make some tight corners where you really need to switch back and forth, or dead end some of the stops perhaps.
Enjoyable gameplay.
Glad you liked the switching mechanic! I agree that the level design could use some work, if I ever expand on this idea I will definitely make it push the player to switch more often. Thanks for the feedback!
Nicely done. It feels akward to control, which makes it rewarding once you learn how to drive. Good game
Neat idea and being able to switch the direction of the bus is a really creative take for the theme!
