In this puzzle game, you control a rescue bus navigating through stormy conditions. Your mission is to save stranded souls and their homes while contending with the relentless push of nature. Master each level by maneuvering through tricky wind conditions and ensure everyone is safely rescued in time.

On the left side of the screen, you'll see the current weather forecast. Each move triggers the next wind gust, pushing people and their homes around the map. Use your bus or other heavy objects to block these gusts when needed.

Controls:
WASD: Move your bus
R: Reset the current level
AD: Select levels
Space: Confirm selection

Level Editor:
This game even comes with an In-Browser Level Editor!.. (kinda)
Design your own puzzles using a text editor and load them into the game by clicking "Load Custom Level" in the bottom left corner of the Start Screen!

Level File Format:
Line 1: Title of the level

Line 3: Wind directions (R, U, L, D)

We also attached all the built-in levels as a zip file, so you can use them as a reference.

We'd love to play your own creations in the itch comment section below. :)❤️
Make sure to post the level in a code block (¶ → Code); otherwise the level loader will struggle with the formatting itch applies to the text haha
