[Megabus Megaride]

interesting premise, not for everyone tho

It's an interesting idea, but it's just a little bit dull. the artwork reminds me of those little people i used to play with when i was like three years old, and the fact that obstacles and tickets that are supposed to come towards you suddenly decelerates out of seemingly nowhere gives the world a fish-eye look (there were times i coulda sworn i avoided stuff, but it registered that i didn't =P). the music is also really bland, and doesn't seem cool enough for a racing/strategy game. now if it were bus drivers in road rage, or trying to avoid people infected with rage virus, now THAT'S pretty tight. otherwise, it seems like only people instructing drivers' ed or your brother who just got his drivers' license would like it. that doesn't mean that the game is HORRIBLE, though; it really does have an interesting premise, and i could see a lotta racing games copy-catting your formula later on, just with a different skin. if i were you, i'd monopolize on this idea and make it more something that the majority of people on NG would wanna play.

Thanks very much for the detailed review. Megabus is a family brand which is why you may have noticed it's designed to appeal to children as well as adults so I'm not sure about the Rage virus! :)

We appreciate all the comments.

haha cool

lol i haven't really seen anything like this. it's actually pretty funny lol. nice job; it was challenging and kept me on my toes. lol when i got to the third level i didn't know what to do...until i realized i had to switch between dives...but that's aight. this is a neat concept. the only thing i wish is that the environments would change up just a little bit (like if you jumped from outer space or something lol) but other than that, the game was pretty good.

Thanks for your review

More good suggestions. Maybe when you dive from a bigger height it should be from a plane. We could use the animation that we did on the vimto.com homepage.
