Bus Traffic Fever!

Bus Traffic Fever! is for players who enjoy clearing jams lane by lane and watching a simple traffic system turn messy very quickly. By our assessment, the best part is the immediate read of the board: buses, roads, and bottlenecks are easy to understand at a glance, so the puzzle starts without fuss. The downside is that this kind of game often lives on repetition, and once the basic trick is understood the challenge depends on how many new wrinkles the levels can keep adding. In practice it is the sort of game that asks for short bursts of attention rather than deep concentration, with a lot of tapping and a lot of waiting for routes to open up. Compared with richer traffic or city-management games, it is lighter and more direct, but also much narrower. Bus Traffic Fever! makes sense for casual puzzle fans and not for anyone looking for a big systems game.
