the game didnt have a tutorial, so i wasnt really sure what i was doing, but i kinda liked the presentation and how you can move the camera around

Did not quite know at what point you will lose the game but other than that it is a really nice looking and relaxing game! (:

@save-sloth-studios haha actually you shouldn't move the camera, it's a bug, but let's pretend that's a feature :)

Lovely aesthetic and cool play on the map. Loved the fact that some stations can act as mid-points, and you can build a larger route. Congrats!

Is a good idea to create a game, but I thing that would be cool if you have a tutorial level.

Graphics are nice, concept is good but it took me a couple of games to really understand the losing condition. It's really nice to have different levels, but I some times had the same one twice in a row.

Small bug: sometimes some collisions are not working so the bus just goes away

The busses kept going off-screen for me unfortunately. I liked the concept though! I see what you are doing here and with some simple bugfixes I think you have a fun and relaxing game here! Well done!

I missed the audio though, I see that you have Audio rateable, so I think my computer messed up? Ill leave the Audio rating blank for now.

Well done!

Very fun game, once I figured out what to do - but then I'm a Transport Tycoon fan from back in the day :-) Some more initial info would have been nice - e.g. "draw a line between stations by clicking on the first station, then move the mouse over the second station and release the mouse button" instead of "draw lines between stations".

Some issues: busses would sometimes get stuck if two or more would arrive in the same station at the same time - is that intentional - crash etc.? Small problem: when clicking the stations to draw lines, the people in the station shouldn't get in the way (right now clicking on the people means you can't click on the station square, you have to click "between" people).

Is there any audio?

Really nice game! Well done!
