Great idea, I love the game and the execution! Perhaps to aid your game visually, you could change the background colour slightly. It will make the product look and feel more polished!

Like safsom said, just changing the default background would go a long way. That aside, it's a quite enjoyable game. The tutorials definitely helped as without it would have been confusing at first so good job on that :)

Didn't really know what i was supposed to be doing.

Laughed my ass off at 'angrier buses' though.

I didn't really understand the game. The menu was nice and simple and the help menus were clear as well, but when I entered the game the blue car would always be immediately destroyed by a red one. I could also somehow control both red and blue cars, which was confusing. I failed to grasp the purpose of the game so I didn't really enjoy it that much. However the technically speaking the game responded accurately to clicks and it looked fairly polished graphics wise.

Unpolished state of the game made it quite hard to test. Side menu kept moving over the screen and i did not find a way to quit a game. Also the game interactions were slightly buggy here and there.

But the game idea seems very cool, would like to try a more polished version of the game at some point.

It's a bit hard to tell what to do, it's a cool setup though. I can't really tell where building is or isn't possible right now, it seems a bit random when it works. Anything I missed?

I was kinda confused and have some challenge figuring out how to attack etc. Interesting concept though and liked the nice calming music.

had problem buying a new bus after all my other buses got killed. I also did not manage to successfully attack anyone. Nice idea that deserves further development. Currently it is a bit pointless that one can build so many stations.
