Introduction
Bus Rush is an adrenaline-pumping endless runner game that puts you on a skateboard and sends you hurtling through a wild, obstacle-packed subway station at breakneck speed! Inspired by the best in the endless runner genre, Bus Rush challenges you to dodge oncoming buses, trucks, and subway trains while collecting coins and grabbing power-ups that keep you alive and your score climbing. With multiple playable characters to choose from, exciting power-ups including jetpacks and coin magnets, and a store full of upgrades to unlock, every run feels fresh and full of potential. The longer you survive, the faster the pace — and the greater the rush. How far can you run before the city brings you to a screeching halt?
How to Play
Your character runs automatically through the subway and city streets, and your job is to swipe or tap to jump, slide, and dodge left or right to avoid crashing into buses, trains, and other obstacles hurtling toward you. Collect as many coins as possible during each run and spend them in the Bus Rush Store on character upgrades, power-up improvements, and special boards that let you survive obstacle hits. The game speeds up the further you run, constantly raising the pressure and demanding faster reflexes and sharper instincts with every passing second. Use power-ups like the jetpack and coin magnet to rack up massive coin hauls and set a new personal best distance on every run.
