PyWeek - Route 6 - feedback

The game was playable as in - it runs. I couldn't figure out how to do anything else. There was no readme with the game either.

Very basic. Can be tough to control the bus sometimes.

I almost gave this game all 1 for fun and production after failing to drive up the first hill. In most game you just need to hold the throttle keys down, not pump it like crazy. Please include (good) instructions (and license!) with the game.

I kept getting stuck, wasn't sure how the throttle works, it looks like you had a good start to something here.

not sure how the theme was integrated
also not sure about the controls... could have had an indicator which gear was in
could not get people to leave or enter the bus

This game was pretty hard to figure out at first. I didn't even know how to get up the first ramp. It got more interesting as I got the hang of it.

For some reason the controls were not working for me: the bus would throttle up, but seemed random as to how it moved forwards, and the throttle would go up and down randomly. Perhaps I missed something and needed a better explanation of how to play?

I quite enjoyed going really fast and bumping over the bumps, but this was at odds with stopping at the stops.

It would be cool to see people get on and off the bus, and you could add some background scenery.

Nice bus. Nice sound. Not a lot going on. I always overshot the stops. Perhaps add obstacles..?

82! I had to lose to figure out how to drive. All those mad people. How did I ever get hired!? :)

none of the buttons worked

Wow I was really terrible at this game. It made me wish I knew how transmissions work. I like the idea of a side-scrolling bus-simulator a lot.

The game screen showed, but I tried over and over again and the bus just wouldn't move. I tried changing gears and accelerating, reversing etc but no luck. It's a shame as this looked quite fun. Just one time the bus seemed to have jumped forward half a screen after I had left it running while I was out of the room.
