Bus Traffic Fever!

I really like this game but it has some bugs. First, when I run out of bus slots and I get the option to watch an ad for more slots, it doesn’t let me watch an ad and then it bugs the game out and I have to relaunch it to play again. Secondly, and I don’t know if I will be able to explain this properly, I will end up in a situation where I have all bus slots full and one bus, let’s say it’s a blue bus, is actively being filled up. I will then run out of blue in the circle (where the blue are running around) and just have to wait for the blue from the side lines to fill the empty spaces in the circle. Unfortunately, if it takes more than about 3 seconds for the blue to get into the circle then the game acts as though I have failed and will ask if I want to watch an ad for more slots. However, as I previously stated, it won’t actually let me watch an ad and I end up having to restart the game.

The game is designed to force you to either watch ads to get through a level or buy the ad free version. It’s not just that you have to watch an ad to start the level, go to the next level, or restart a failed level, it’s that the game is designed in such a way that you must use a power to complete which requires coins earned at a slow rate or only has a watch ad option to use. For example, sometimes the level begins with the loop almost completely full of one color, but all the buses of that color are in the middle of the grid lock without enough spaces to free one. Other times, the seat count of the buses on the outer rim is intentionally too high to force you to use up all your spaces and use the buy space option. Sometimes the powers themselves contribute to the game forcing you to watch an ad - like the VIP parking space option will cause people to enter from the right instead of staying with progression on the left or filling the buses pulls from the back of a line instead of the loop. The most galling is that if you have full spots, but the loop would slowly fill the buses and open a spot the game will instead pop up the “out of spaces” warning and force you to watch an ad to free up space and continue or restart. You can hold an option to watch the buses fill and free up spots, but it stays locked in the pop up that forces you to watch the ad.

This game is really fun to play, however, it sometimes says you failed a level when the busses are still filling up. It allows you to see the board after you are “out” to decide if you want to use coins to return to the game. You can actively see that your busses are filling up and leaving the depot with open slots. Maybe this is to get ppl to purchase coins, but honestly this makes me not want to purchase coins, as I feel I will be cheated. It is rare that I like a game enough to pay for top ups, oddly this is one I would consider and similar to ones I have paid for in the past, however I feel it would likely happen more if I were purchasing coins. It could be an accidental glitch that will be fixed…but it kind of seems like a money grab right now.
