Snakeybus
Snakeybus
Snakeybus, développé et édité par Stovetop Studios avec le concours de Digerati Distribution, est sorti le 10 mai 2019 sur PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch et Xbox One. Ce jeu de course et d'arcade construit sous Unity met en scène un bus dont la longueur s'accroît à mesure que le joueur récupère des passagers, invitant à slalomer dans les rues urbaines sans percuter sa propre queue. Présenté comme un titre indépendant mêlant également simulation et plateforme, il propose un multijoueur en ligne, des power-ups et armes, onze cartes solo à thèmes, cinq types de bus, un mode infini, une progression de joueur et des classements. La presse a salué son côté simple et addictif, comme le faisait Playstation Official Magazine UK en le comparant au Snake classique, ou PlayStation Universe évoquant une joie d'arcade bienvenue, tout en notant certains joueurs sur Metacritic sa répétitivité et la perte rapide de son attrait, là où d'autres sur Steam y voyaient un divertissement amusant au point d'imaginer conduire un bus dans la vraie vie. L'agrégat de notes s'établit à 60,00 pour un prix de 8,19 euros.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Like Snake, it’s simple and addictive in all the right ways. We’d have liked more maps to choose from, but what’s here is an arcadey joy that’s a delight to get lost in. [Issue#175, p.78] »
« Snakeybus will bring a smile to your face, which in this day and age, is a very welcome thing. Good wholesome score-attack arcade driving combined with some hilariously weird but subtle comedy elements, Snakeybus is worth inviting into your home. »
« Chaotic “racer” with a constantly growing bus. Due to its quirkiness fans of weirdly entertaining yet strange concepts might be tempted despite design flaws and little content. »
« So there’s really not an awful lot to recommend, despite Snakeybus doing what it does fairly well. In this climate there are so many better games at the £10 price range you can get stuck into that it’s not even worth the minimal RRP. It’s doing solid numbers on Steam which is great, you can’t begrudge a game that definitely has its fans. It’s just really not for me. This bus journey offers little thrills and a whole lot of frustration. Much like a normal bus journey then, I suppose. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« the game is okay, the only downside is that its very repetitive therefore it gets boring very fast. »
« Actually pretty fun for a few hours, although the novelty of it wore off fairly quickly and I haven't really had any reason to go back to it »
« Pretty fun! I just wish there was more material to work with; I hope the developers add more content and things to do. »
« Alot of fun for 2 hours with a fairly easy platinum trophy. The controls are good, the levels varies which is extra important in a game like this. It struggles a bit when you reach a "goal" and drop off passengers, and the bus gets longer, its not really consistent in this and the bus act a bit laggy from time to time. If you wanna chill to a relaxing game with zen music this is a good choice. And Im sure I will jump back in and try to beat my and my friends highscores from time to time. »
« This games **** ass and is such a let down. Graphics are horrible, music is horrible, just everything horrible. Great concept for a game but does not deliver at all on what the trailer promised on the PS4 version. Developers can and definitely should work on this and add more content and more variety and graphics that look better than PS2 graphics. Such a shame. »
