Crowd Express features unique obstacles and block types that add depth and strategy to every level. Here’s a quick overview of how they work:
⏱️ Hurry: Buses move automatically. Act fast to avoid collisions or missed slots.
❔ Hidden: A bus’s color stays hidden until the bus in front moves.
🚪 Garage: The gate only opens for the next bus of the correct color.
🔒 Lock: A bus is locked for X turns and won’t move until the lock is lifted.
❄️ Frozen: A bus is stuck in ice and won’t thaw for a set number of moves.
📢 Megaphone: Instantly boards all passengers of a chosen color from the queue.
🚍 Convoy: Linked vehicles move together — the one in front must go first.
⛓️ Chain: Chained buses won’t move until the chain is broken. For example, if a vehicle has the number 10 on top of the chain, this means that you should send 10 vehicles to the parking lot. This will release the related vehicle from the chain!
🍬 Gum: Gummed buses stick together and must enter the slot at the same time.
🔑 Key: A key is required to unlock this bus before it can move.
🚦 Transit: A bus arrives already filled with mixed passengers — sort them by color.
🎨 Dye: A special bus paints its parking slot in its own color for the rest of the level.
📈 Overload: Lanes/slots have capacity limits — if you push past them, the lane blocks and flow stalls. Manage traffic to avoid overflow.
🦶 Kick Out: Certain slots will eject a parked bus after a short window. Clear or move it before it’s kicked out.
💣 Bomb: Clear the matching bus before the countdown ends to avoid penalties.
🟧 Cone: Traffic cones block entry from specific directions. Remove or route around them to proceed.
🪜 Platform: Platforms carry or shift buses when aligned. Time your moves to ride or cross them safely.
🔄 Rotate Bus: This bus rotates its facing after moves. Align its direction with the exit before sending it.
Each obstacle introduces a new challenge. Understanding how they work will help you develop the right strategy to clear tough levels.
