Beluga Bus

UNDERWATER - BUS - BLOSSOM 

Description

Beluga Bus is a game where you're a beluga whale driving fish around different bus stops. Don't make them wait too long, or they'll get impatient and storm off! And don't bother staying on the road--you're underwater, after all!

Game Mechanics

Each day, fish will appear at the "bus stops" and you have to drive towards them and pick them up! Fish will then want to go to a different bus stop, specified on the side. If any fish are left waiting too long, either on the bus or at a stop, they will leave upset!

Days get progressively more difficult, with more impatient fish appearing more frequently. If you get too low of a grade at the end of the day, you get sacked. Good luck!

p.s. click and hold on the screen for some bubble fun!
