🚀 Bus Jump Stunts

Fly a bus over a row of cars

Bus Jump Stunts is a simple, thrilling idea: take a big yellow school bus, race it down a long runway, hit a giant ramp and fly over as many parked cars as you can. The crowd roars, the cars flash by underneath, and for a second or two a bus is flying. Then it has to come down, and how you land it matters.

It is a game about getting a little bit better every time. Your first jump might clear a dozen cars. Spend the cash on a stronger engine and a taller ramp, learn to time the turbo and level the bus in the air, and soon you are clearing thirty, forty, sixty cars.

How to jump

Hold the accelerator all the way down the runway; the faster you hit the ramp, the further you fly. Turbo gives an extra shove, both on the runway and in the air, but the turbo tank is small at first, so choose your moment. The ramp curves upwards and throws the bus into the air nose-first.

In the air you can tilt the bus. A small dial shows its angle and turns green when the bus is level. Bring the nose down before you land: touch down flat and the bus rolls to a stop along the car roofs or on the ground. Land nose-first or tail-first and the bus bounces and tumbles in a cartoon crash, which still counts the cars you cleared but loses the landing bonus.

Cash and upgrades

Every car you clear earns $12, plus a little more for the distance you flew, and a good landing multiplies the total by 1.3 while a perfect landing doubles it. Spend your cash in the garage before the next jump. There are five upgrades, each with five levels: the Engine raises your top speed, the Ramp becomes taller and steeper, the Turbo tank grows, Aero cuts air drag so the bus glides further, and Suspension makes slightly crooked landings count as good ones.

Which upgrade first? A faster engine and a taller ramp give the biggest jumps, but suspension saves a lot of crashed landings while you are learning, and aero matters most once your jumps are long.

Three arenas

The Stadium has rows of cars in front of a packed grandstand that cheers every time you fly. The Desert Canyon sets the jump among towering red rocks at sunset, with tougher goals. Night Lights is a floodlit arena after dark with the hardest goals of all. Every arena has three goals for the number of cars cleared, and each goal earns a star. Stars unlock new buses: the tall red Double-Decker, the purple Party Bus and the sleek Rocket Bus with the least drag of all.

Tips for record jumps

Never let go of the accelerator on the runway. Save some turbo for the air: fired just after take-off, it pushes the bus further along its flight path. Start levelling the bus early rather than at the last moment, because big tilts are hard to stop. Watch the distance boards along the row of cars; every tenth car has a sign, and every fiftieth a red one. When your jumps start to flatten out, it is time for the next ramp upgrade.

The science of a long jump

Bus Jump Stunts is built on real physics, simplified for fun. The ramp throws the bus up at an angle, and from that moment gravity pulls it down while air drag slows it, exactly like a ball thrown across a playground. That is why speed matters so much: a bus that leaves the ramp twice as fast flies much more than twice as far. A taller ramp launches the bus at a steeper angle, which buys more time in the air, and the aero upgrade reduces drag so the bus keeps its speed for longer. Curious players can experiment: try a jump with a fast engine and a low ramp, then a slow engine and a tall ramp, and see which flies further.

A game for every age

Younger players can simply hold the gas and enjoy watching the bus fly, since every jump earns some cash and the upgrades keep making the jumps bigger. Older players can chase perfect landings, plan which upgrade to buy next and hunt for all nine stars across the three arenas.

Each jump only takes a few seconds, so Bus Jump Stunts is ideal for a short break. Your cash, upgrades and stars are kept between visits, which means every jump you make today helps you fly further tomorrow. Many players find the moment they finally clear a goal they have been chasing, with a perfect landing on top, is the best feeling in the game.

Controls

On a computer: hold W or the up arrow to accelerate, Space or Shift for turbo, and A and D or the left and right arrows to tilt the bus in the air. C changes the camera between the side view, the chase view and the wide shot, and R starts a new jump. On phones and tablets hold GAS, use the arrows to tilt and the 🔥 button for turbo.

Free, safe and made for every device

Bus Jump Stunts is cartoon fun: the bus bounces, nobody is hurt and the parked cars are always fine. There are no adverts inside the game, no accounts, no chat and nothing to buy with real money, and your cash, upgrades and stars are saved only on your device.
