Ride the Bus

Hello, and welcome to Ride the Bus!

Your bus reached your stop, but 3 public transport bullies block the way! Bummer! Beat em up by defeating them at "Ride the Bus!" so you can get home!


Game play:

Play the card-guessing game "Ride the Bus" to beat up the bullies! The more money you win the more damage you deal. Crush them with your guessing might!

You lose HP in two ways:

• Cashing out (-25HP)
• Incorrect guess (based on round)


Card Game Rounds:

Round 1: Red or Black? (x2 damage)
Will the first card be red (hearts, diamonds) or black (spades, clubs)?

Round 2: Higher or Lower? (x3 damage)
Will the next card be higher in value or lower (aces are low!)?

Round 3: Inside or Outside? (x4 damage)
Will the value of the next card be between the previous two cards or outside of them?

Round 4: Guess the Suit (x20 damage)
What will be the suit of the next drawn card? If you win this round not only do you deal a TON of damage, but you also don't take any damage for cashing out. Pretty good deal!




The Bullies!

The bullies don't play fair and neither do you! Fix your deck to increase your odds and counter their bully cards:

Smelly Dan, "The J*ck Off":   Adds too many Jacks of hearts to your deck
Joey Fartface, "20/20 Vision":  Turns all even numbered cards into 20's
Sandwich Tom, "Pretty Random":  Randomizes all values in your deck (unless changed by a deck fix)




I hate this guy! He gives me the creeps!


Items & Redraws

Buy Items to earn redraws! 

Don't like the revealed card? Draw another one! Make luck work in your favor! Tell the dumb code that a 75% chance should be a sure thing!

Visit the Stink Shop before battle!


Deck Fixes

Beat a bully and earn a deck fix! 

After defeating a bully, choose one of three "fixes" to apply to your deck. Remove hearts, change the value of cards, or go for some cold hard cash! Use these abilities to beat the bullies for being rude on public transportation.

Real Ones would pick "Lucky" here, but Heartless is good too!

Thank you for checking out my game! 

This is the first game I've ever made after I started to learn to code this year.  I hope you enjoy it! I had a lot of fun making it and learned a ton. 

My friend makes games too, check out our games in the Stink Boys Games collection on my page! 

Thank you!

The Stink Boys are at it again. Fun game, great music, relatable premise. (Who among us hasn't wanted to get revenge on people who listen to loud music in public, sans headphones??)

The exact events of the game happened to me in real life!

the kind of game that makes you laugh one moment and then cry the next if lady luck wasn’t on your side! You probably won’t win on your first try but once you figure out some betting strategy you’ll be pummeling the bus bullies!
