Bus jam puzzle with a twist: only the people on the OUTER EDGE can move. Tap a bus, match the color, fill every seat. One wrong order and the crowd blocks itself. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a colored bus to open its doors. • Stickmen of the same color board it — but only the ones standing on the outer edge of the crowd can walk out. • Fill all seats and the bus drives away, opening a new path. • Pick the wrong bus and you bury the color you needed. Plan the order. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most sorting puzzles let you move any piece. Here the crowd blocks itself: a stickman trapped in the middle cannot move until the people around him leave. Every level is a question of order, not speed. FEATURES • 100+ hand-built levels, each one solvable — no random walls • One-tap controls, no timer, no pressure • Plays fully offline • Free to play Think two moves ahead and the lane clears itself.
