How to Wait for the Bus — Benevolent Anarchy

Development screenshot of How to Wait for the Bus, showing a grid of coloured tiles surrounded by launch positions and game controls — Development screenshot.

The short version

Choose an edge, fire a coloured tile into the board, and line up three or more to clear them.

Good shots open space and set off cascades. Bad shots cost lives and leave the board more crowded than before. Clear the board to win; let it fill, and the tiles win instead.

Easy to understand. Considerably less easy to stop.

What to expect

Fire tiles inward from any edge of the board.
Match colours, create cascades and clear the board before it fills.
Progress through increasingly difficult boards, with new colours and special tiles joining the trouble.
Play using touch, mouse and keyboard, or a controller.
Take your time clearing levels in the normal mode—or add a little panic with the optional survival mode.
Play offline, without ads, in-app purchases, accounts or telemetry.

It is intended to be a complete little game: easy to pick up, capable of eating an entire bus journey, and perfectly willing to let you leave when you arrive.
