Bus Fever Party!
A bus jam puzzle: unblock a gridlocked lot and load passengers by color
First principle
Sitting in a jam is maddening; clearing one from above is soothing. Bus Fever Party turns that into short levels: tap the right bus and it pulls out to collect riders of its color.
The needs it meets
- EntertainmentCore
- Passing time and unwinding, carried off by stories, music and video.
- Progress
- Seeing yourself get better: a level cleared, a rank gained, a skill learnt.
Why it wins
- Two old toys in one: move vehicles in the right order to unblock a jammed lot, then match waiting passengers to the bus of their color.
- Early levels are easy and calm, later ones tangle tight; players say that past the early stages a booster or an ad is often the only way through.
- Buses, a jam and colored riders read at a glance; a level takes minutes, and it plays offline.
- Many games do the same thing; reaching fourth on the world free chart with few ratings so far looks like paid installs, not word of mouth.
What keeps it ahead
- Paid growth
- Heavy ad spending to buy users, paid back by those who pay.
- Easy start
- Anyone can use it at once, with a reward within seconds.
How it makes money
AdsIn app purchases
Free with ads, including ads that buy a way past a hard level; purchases sell coins, booster packs and an ad free pass.
What a small team can take from it
The mechanic is common property now, and a small team can build it, in a browser too. The hard parts are a curve that is calm early and tight later without feeling unfair, and the ad money to be seen.
