Welcome to Bus Out!, a colorful sorting puzzle where every move matters! The area is packed with passengers and buses of different colors. Tap buses to send them into the parking area and tap passengers to move them to the station. Passengers automatically board a bus of the same color. Once every seat is filled, the bus drives away and frees up space for your next move. Your goal is simple: get every passenger on the right bus and clear the entire area! TWO SPACES, ONE CHALLENGE Both the bus parking area and the passenger station have limited capacity. Send the wrong buses into the parking area, and you may not have room for the colors you need. Move too many unmatched passengers into the station, and the crowd could fill every available space. Think ahead, choose the right order, and keep the station moving before you run out of room! HOW TO PLAY • Tap a bus to move it into the parking area • Tap passengers to send them to the station • Match passengers with buses of the same color • Fill every seat to send the bus on its way • Free up parking and station space with smart matches • Clear every bus and passenger to complete the level • Don’t let the parking area or station become full WHY YOU’LL LOVE BUS OUT! • Simple and satisfying tap-to-play controls • Colorful passenger and bus matching • Two limited spaces to manage at the same time • Strategic puzzles where every move matters • Smooth and satisfying boarding moments • Easy to learn with increasingly tricky challenges Every tap changes your options. The right move can fill a bus and open valuable space, while the wrong color can bring the entire station to a stop. Can you find the perfect boarding order? Match the colors, fill the buses, and get everyone on the right ride in Bus Out!
