How it feels

A calm, turn-based puzzle game with a darkly humorous premise where you drive a bus as Death, navigating simple grid-based levels without time pressure.

What players say

Players praise the clever sequence-based puzzles that start simple but grow tough, with a fuel limit adding pressure without feeling unfair. Reviews highlight the charming 1-bit pixel art and chiptune soundtrack, but note the game can feel a bit samey after a while, despite new mechanics being introduced regularly.
