Place your bet and beat the bullies!

The bus reached your stop, but there's 3 public transportation Bullies blocking the way! Bummer! Beat 'em up by defeating them at "Ride the Bus!" so you can go home!

The Bullies will try to bust your deck with their "Bully Cards," but they won't keep you down if you pick your Deck Fixes wisely to counter!

Place your bets, Fix the Deck, and Beat the Bullies! Ride the Bus!

Controls

Over world

  • ←↑→↓ Move "Stink Boy" - find the enemies blocking your way
  • X: Visit the Shop - buy items
  • Z: Fight the Bully! - kick some butt

Fighting the Bully

  • ←↑→↓ - Increase/decrease bets and make guessing choices
  • X: - View Deck / Cash Out
  • Z: - Place Your Bet / Reveal Card

Gameplay:

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 2 ways:

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

Card Game Rules:

  • 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 and listens to music on his phone

  • Joey Fartface
    -- "20/20 Vision": Turns all even numbered cards into 20's and coughs in your face!

  • Sandwich Tom
    -- "Pretty Random": Randomizes all values in your deck (unless changed by a deck fix), the biggest bully of all!

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!

Deck Fixes

Beat a Bully and win a deck fix!

After defeating a Bully, choose between 3 "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.

  • Earn 1 Fix each Boss

  • 8 Deck fixes total to choose from!

I personally like "Lucky" here, it's the most fun!

Thank you for checking out my game!

This is the first game I've ever made after I started to learn to code at the start of this year. I hope you enjoy it! I had a lot of fun making it and learned a ton. It means a lot to me if you've read this far as well, I had a lot of fun writing the description for this game (something I've always wanted to do lol).

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

Thank you!

I kinda wasn't sure what to expect based on the description, but this is really a blast. Like I actively dislike these bullies now, haha. Still working my way through a good strategy, but I've played a few times now and I really think you've got something here.


Thank you! That means a lot to me
