I made frontflip! Game was very fun to play. Nice ending. People in bus would look better as sprites and you should think about better ui skin but anyway graphics looks nice too.
This is really funny. Not totally sure how this works with the 'you are the monster' theme, which is a shame. Perhaps you could have just gave the bus a monster design and at least there would have been some link :)
Thanks for the comments guys! Squarepug, at the end of the level when the train collides with the bus you get a high score for having the most kids on the bus!
I was having too much fun going fast, so I was only able to get one kid to the end. But the rest were probably mortally injured from falling out of a speeding bus anyway!
I love how the train tracks are just beyond the school. The kids must have all been like, "Wait, where are we going?!" And then...
Driving the bus over the terrain is really fun. The passengers are a total afterthought. I started ignoring the passengers entirely, attempting to speedrun the level. With passengers, my high score was 5800. Without, 5500.
That firetruck needs to be a playable vehicle! Color the passengers red and make them firefighters!
Fun game ! i liked physics, it reminded me freerider :D That was a bit short, but background is well done and nice, and trying to bring those kids on rails without throwing them out of the bus was quite hard ... Cool idea, i think hitting kids with the bus could have been rewarding too and makes the player feel a bit more he is the monster, at least before getting hit by a train!
- looks good - physics are a bit wonkey, but that made it kind of funny - good music - bus looks weird, no shading, tiny tires - buildings in the background look great - very difficult to control and keep kids in the bus - doesn't seem to fit the theme - after several tries i can't get to the end, i feel through no fault of my own
Some better graphics for the kids would’ve been nice… the background looks great though. It’s frustrating when one of the capsule-kids falls out, and then when the bus rolls over it the physics go insane and all of the other capsules launch out at 500mph as well. Also my bus always seems to politely stop before reaching the tracks… just before the train arrives.
Funny, fun to play! I included it in part 24 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/fxtKngYPsCg

You know what this game needs? It needs screams.
Cool game, hehe!
