Fruitbus Steam Charts & Stats

I'm on the fence about this game. Picking whether I liked it or not was complicated as there are some good things and then... The [i] tedium [/i]... There is *way too much* tedium for a game that is supposed to be relaxing and some things that the game straight up doesn't tell you. Never tells you you can sprint (that's the least of them, at least if you played a game before you might find what to press to sprint), never tells you which container to use to get water, I had to look it up because my instinct was to use the jerrycan (which seems weird but you use gasoline to make a smoothie at some point) and then I used the jug but it didn't seem to work (you had to place it under the pump but it's finnicky so it didn't seem to work at first). It's also not very intuitive with how many items seem so be used for very specific needs, you'd think there would be a separate object/container just for water that you'd just have to refill every so often. I've had to look up where to find a frying pan, since some items seemingly need to be cooked but I have found no way to cook them yet despite going through every shop and gas station, the game does seem to expect me to already have a way to do it though. I have the oven, I bought the tray for the bread. No frying pan. It turns out the game just expected me to know that I was supposed to just... Put the ingredient in the oven using no container. Once again counter intuitive since other cooking methods need a tool. I also struggled to find a sickle and it turns out you had a quest to do for that (Once again, counter intuitive since every other tool is available in stores) so I'm guessing that's the case for the pan. Which quest will it be? I don't want to go back and forth in between every town only for the NPC to ask for food I can't make because I do not have the tool they ask for. Making sandwiches is easily one of the most annoying things and it honestly made it so I dreaded having to make more later on. While having exclusive ingredients per island seem like a great idea, I feared having to come back each time I needed something specific from an island, so of course I had to stock up which is not great since that would mean having to get more crates for more clutter (tidying up isn't really as fun as I thought it could be. Too many things, too little space.) This one is probably just a me thing but I do not like driving the bus. I much prefer just running and abandoning the fruitbus until I needed to make orders, which surely doesn't help with any of this. I have so many mixed feelings because on the other hand, I like the cooking, I like exploring (on foot), I like the look and feel of the game... It just needs a whole lot of tidying up to be better. It needs to be more intuitive.

This game is so cute! The mechanics can be a little wonky at first but that's just a learning curve. My biggest complaint with this game is the tediousness. It can get kind of annoying to have to travel island to island for more ingredients. A quick fast travel would be helpful. I really really hope more content is added to this game. Its a super cozy cooking sim and I wish it would go on forever.

If you pick it up for 15 or less, it's absolutely worth. Fun little minigames and a cool theme for a game. Having recently lost my mom, the story was very touching for me, and hit me hard in the end.

Multiple times I've failed requests where the game tells me I didn't put in a required ingredient. An ingredient that I did put in - and often ends up being the last one I have. Meaning I have to rev up the bus, run back off to the only location in the game that has that item to get more - come back to the original location and then sometimes they change what they're asking for to use OTHER ingredients that I don't have. I'm tired.

Glitches make it impossible to play. (it just restarted the game while loading, and then all the cut scenes and triggers glitched out and made me have to reinstall)

Could be a good game with somes fixes on the tree and the animations Beside that the Driving Is pretty cool i ended up drifting with the van and the grandma urn

As much as I love the story and the mechanics, I cannot recommend the game in its current state. There are a lot of bugs, such as the coin icon on the tip jar z-fighting, audio issues, dialogue not showing when it should, etc. After I finished the story of the game, the ability to save was grayed out. I left the game after completing my final achievement, and checked to see if the game saved my progress. Unfortunately, it did not, and I lost all of my progress that I made after finishing the story. This is honestly my biggest reason for not recommending this game. I really hope they fix all the bugs, especially the save one.

very fun adorable game. relaxing bc there is no time limit for the orders to go out.

I'm getting ready to finish the game soon, and I must say I'm excited and sad. This game was a hidden gem I wish I h had found sooner. It is so FUN! Very good cozy game! You get to customize your bus inside and out throughout the game. You gain more ingredients and dishes you can make, plus equipment as you progress. You go to three different islands and fill food request for big story progression missions, as well as smaller missions that might grant an item or some sort of reward. By the end of the game you can make several types of dishes with several different kitchen appliances and utensils. Don't want to give too much detail and spoil anything ;-P The overall story is cute! The game is so ADDICTING! It is steam deck compatible, and I have enjoyed playing it on both my Steam Deck and PC or Laptop. There is so much to do in this game on all three islands, and you are even able to travel back to other islands to finish quest or get supplies that island may have that the next doesn't. You do have to complete the main mission for each island before the next unlocks, but being able to go back is nice. I'm about to finish the game as I said, but because I can go back and I'm a bit of a completionist, I have went back to the first island and am currently finishing anything up that I need to do or collect from each island before I finish the game. This will be a bittersweet ending, as I have been loving this game and have been addicted, but I'm also ready to finish it and see the story conclude. Again, THIS GAME WAS A HIDDEN GEM AND IS HIGHLY UNDERRATED FOR SOMETHING THAT DESERVES MORE HYPE! DON'T THINK, JUST BUY IT! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

I loved this game so deeply id play it for hours strait but it soft locked because of the glitches and as i tried to fix them it just got worse. I wish this game was finishable to me but i just cant reccomend it if you completly can not play it after a few glitches. it truly is beautiful though and i will continue to support this company because i love their ideas and art. (sorry for the spelling errors i dont feel like fixing them)
