Critic Reviews for Fruitbus
A lot of the issues I outlined and other big stoppages I ran into could be ironed out with time focused to careful playtesting. I think that another couple of months, and Fruitbus would have been closer to where it needs to be. But barring a last-minute stomp on the brakes, this is how it’s launching. I really, really wanted to love Fruitbus, but I can only review how it was served to me.
Fruitbus could easily fall into the category of a cozy game, but it's so much more than that. The storytelling and scaling create an engaging timeline that walks the player through a fascinating story all while maintaining the principles of a standard cozy game.
A heartfelt cooking adventure that too often trades cozy fun for frustrating chores
Fruitbus deserves great praise for its adorable graphics, heartfelt story, and relaxing yet entertaining gameplay. However, it should have baked in the oven a little longer while working out its oodles of glitches that frequently take away from the lighthearted fun. 🍌
The only reason I gave Fruitbus a Thumb Culture Gold Award last time was because of how aggravating it was having to rebuy a shovel over and over again. I’m a console girl at heart so maybe that was why I enjoyed Fruitbus even more this time around? It was so much fun getting back into my little bus and meeting all the NPCs again. Because of the improvements the dev has made, it seems only right that this time Fruitbus receives the Thumb Culture Platinum Award.
Fruitbus is the perfect addition to any cozy gamer’s library with a lovely atmosphere, welcoming graphics and adorable characters lining the story. I have sunk so many hours into this game and I plan to keep playing it! As mentioned, the only off-putting thing I experienced was the disappearance of coins and my shovel and having to rebuy it every few days. As a result, I am happy to give Fruitbus the Thumb Culture Gold Award!
Visually, Fruitbus is a feast for the eyes, featuring adorable characters and charming landscapes that enrich the overall experience. The captivating graphics drew me in immediately, setting a memorable stage for this heartwarming tale of family and friendship. Despite its endearing qualities, Fruitbus feels like a work in progress. There’s potential for future updates to refine the experience, but as it currently stands, the game would benefit from immediate fixes to unlock its full charm.
Fruitbus is a lot of fun. It has fun characters, great animations, funny moments, and an overall heartwarming tale. The first two islands, which I have traipsed from one end to the other, are filled with characters, interesting things, and weird new fruit salad combinations. If you like simulation titles with heart, I cannot recommend Fruitbus enough. It’s got a few bugs, but it seems like the developers are really on point with trying to make the game as good as it can be. It’s fun; the gameplay does get a little repetitive after a while, but overall, Fruitbus is the most I’ve ever had with a blender and a bunch of veggies.
