Bus n Ball Jam: your first five minutes
A colour puzzle. Buses sit in a car park, each one carries balls, and when you send a bus away its balls drop onto a looping belt and fill boxes of their colour.

What you actually control
| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
| Click or tap a bus | It leaves the way its arrow points, if nothing is in front of it |
That is the only input we used.
Minute by minute
Minute 1. Look at the top first: four columns of coloured boxes under a grey belt. Each box holds three balls.
Minute 2. Then the car park. Every bus has a white arrow on its roof.
Minute 3. Tap a bus with a clear path. Its balls drop onto the belt and roll to the top box of a matching column. A full box disappears.
Minutes 4 and 5. Level 1 has six buses in two colours. Level 2 already has fifteen in three.
The mistake that ends first runs
Sending a bus whose colour has no open box. Its balls stay on the belt, and the game warns that too many balls stuck there lose the level. Check the top boxes before each tap.
Good to know
- A medium bus carries nine balls, enough for three boxes.
- New boxes rise from below, so a column can change colour as you play.
- Three side buttons are locked until levels 4, 10 and 13.
Skip it if
You want vehicles that matter. In Bus Parking Out the buses carry passengers and the bays are the puzzle.
That is the short version. The long one, with every screen we saw and the questions people ask about it, is in our Bus n Ball Jam page.
