Game overview

Bus Rush is an endless runner where you sprint along train tracks and city streets, dodging oncoming buses and obstacles while collecting coins. It follows the familiar lane-swapping, jump-and-slide formula, with reflex timing deciding how far you get. The pace ramps up steadily, so the challenge is keeping your reactions ahead of the speed.

This title is best suited to players who like fast reflex-based endless runners.

How to play Bus Rush

  1. Start running automatically down the track.
  2. Swipe or press left and right to switch lanes.
  3. Jump over low barriers in your path.
  4. Slide under obstacles you can't jump.
  5. Grab coins scattered along the route.
  6. React faster as the run speeds up.
