OVERLOADED by rainysolar


Hi, This is my second LD game. It's an out of space bus simulator. :laughing:
When I was a student, I felt out of space every day because there are so many people on public transportations. And here is the OVERLOADED, hopefully, it can remind you of some experience with buses. :bus: :trolleybus: :minibus:
:bus::bus::bus::bus::bus::bus::bus::bus::bus::bus:
How to Play:
There is a simple tutorial level.
And here are some simple instruction. ( Same as the tutorial) 1. Click doors to open or close it. 2. Passenger must buy tickets near the driver. // Passenger will have a number above head after buying the ticket. 3. Click passenger number to push them. // The number is where its owner wants to go. ( bus stop 1,2,3,4, ....) 4. Click driver to move to next station. 5. Click driver to end the game at the final station. 6. Open and close doors can solve stuck.
:bus::bus::bus::bus::bus::bus::bus::bus::bus::bus:
Efficiency = (Deliver - Complaint)*3600/Time. Higher efficiency is better.

The art here is consistent and clear. It gets right to the point. The sounds are wonderful. No popping or earsplitting decibel levels.
My favorite thing is how its funny cuz its real. At my uni it was the same deal. Packed buses suck. You always kinda needed someone to push the people away from the main doors. Awesome game.
Thank you all for the comments.
I'm pretty happy you enjoy this little work. :laughing:
@madar-games My efficiency is about 2000+/h. When to open doors is the key to achieve higher efficiency. And thanks for your advice. :bus:
@connorthompson This game is made for 1080p resolution, so it would be a little smaller for clicking as Html5. And thanks for the gesture control advice, sounds very attractive. :v:
However I still don't understand what the number stand for and I don't really know if the passenger has paid yet. Also would be nice to make the number clicking area bigger for easier clicking.
Overall, very well done!
Thanks for your playing. Yeah, A.I act 'well' as expected. :laughing:
Extra instruction is added. I'm glad that you enjoy this little game. :bus:
One small concern is the smaller click area on HTML5 version.
Really well executed, great use of the theme!
There's a nice attention to detail on the people in the game. Their animations and different clothing styles. I like it!
I'm glad that you have a good time in this game. Thanks for your playing. :sunglasses:
@jambav
I will try to fix the small click area issue. Thanks for the advice.
great job man!
Cool entry! clicking on the number is quite hard and unpredictable and opening the front door always seems to unleash hell on my bus. the back door is easier to manage. i think that flaging front door as entering and backdoor as exit and only clicking on bad behaviour or to push people inside could lead to a more interesting gameplay. It's funny because your game is the other side of this one : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/stuck
critics aside, i played the game to the end and really enjoyed it. graphics are nice and the tutorial mission is a nice addition to it.
Just one thing: how you have to time the doors to actually convince people to use front door to get on the bus?
The mechanic is not only fun but also remind people something.
REALLY LOVE IT!
中文太好笑了!

And like some other remid me, some moment in everyday life (but here you can push passenger outside the bus in midway ;) )
Very impressive pathfinding system, great works !
I have some probleme with passenger who want to be outside and push people from the outside...
Some weird guys I think.
It reminds me the days I must go to work by bus... That is terrible days... :rofl:
would you rate my game as well? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/no-vacancy
Awesome job!
Super fun!

Thank you all for the comments. I will play, rate and comment all of your games. :laughing:
@dray 1115/h is a good efficiency. And yes the Stuck game provides another point of view about an overloaded transportation. Really admire Stuck's great polish.
@kromeboy The point is don't open the rear door too early, because all of the passengers are eager to get on the bus. :laughing:
@wahooney Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe I could make a post-jam version with a more control-able gameplay with your advice.
@arbosis Sure, Why not? :v:
@joemag Clicking the numbers is the action to push passengers going to the rear part of the bus. So if there is no space around the passenger, it may seem not working.
Thanks for the comments, Maybe I could design a more control-able gameplay in post-jam version.
I will consider some splashes of blood and a more controllable gameplay in post-jam version. Thanks for your advice.
But amusing to play. The voices were cool, all those little angry people. I just left the doors open and herded them on and off like cattle. A few were long along the way, but that efficiency!
The game is nicely polished and enjoyable!
Great job.
Thanks for the comments. I am very happy that you enjoy this little game. :laughing:
Ai was abit stupid, but still got the job done. Very nice.

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to play our game and leave comments. :laughing:
@jin9310 Yes, they say "Leave me alone" and " Oh my feet". XD
Great Job!
Nice idea by the way ;)
You can try our game if you have time :)
Thank you for playing our game!
@alex-brull Well, People in an overloaded bus is always frustrating. :laughing:
I will design some more control-able gameplay in the post-jam version.
Thanks for your feedback and I will try your game.:D
@anstabo
According to the rule "You’re free to use 3rd party Artwork/Music/Audio assets, or assets you previously created, but we ask that you OPT-OUT of the respected voting categories (Graphics, Audio)." , using paid assets is allowed. And I have removed the Graphics Rates due to this rule.
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules/
I still need to make lots of effort to have the asset-making skills. Done all the assets by myself is a long-term goal for me.Thanks for your advice. :laughing:
By the way please feel free to leave us some feedbacks on our game!

音效做的真的很好笑!
