Road to Texas

PLAY THE DEMO!

California to Texas. One bus. Ten seats. Don't get bitten.

You're Van Nguyen — an Australian tourist, pho cook, troublemaker, and suddenly the last guy anyone wants behind a wheel. Rumours say America's last stronghold is in Texas. You're going to find out if that's true — with a bus that doubles as a fort, a crew of weirdos who need feeding, and zombies that kill you in one hit.

---

The loop

• Day — Sit at the wheel and drive, or hop out and scavenge food, tools, and weapons roadside.
• Night — The bus parks. Zombies pour in. Your passengers fight as living turrets. You swing, shoot, repair, and don't get touched.
• Next state — Survive the night, push farther east. State after state until Texas.

Features

• Pixel-art road trip across the American West
• Day drive / forage ↔ night tower-defence survival
• Eccentric passengers with their own attacks — and hunger meters
• 10 seats on the bus. Save who you can.
• Upgradeable bus (hammer) and emergency repairs (wrench)
• Weapons with real durability — guns wear out and break
• One-hit death from zombies. No second chances.
• Unlocks that stick between runs as you discover new crew and gear

How to play

• Goal — California → Texas. One state at a time.
• Day & Night — Drive by day. Survive the night.
• Eat — Drag food to anyone who's hungry — you too.
• Crew — On the bus, drag passengers to swap seats.
• Save — 10 seats on the bus. Save as many as you can.
• Bus — Wrench = repair. Hammer = upgrade.
• Weapons — Guns wear out. Watch durability — they break.
• Zombies — One hit and you're dead. Don't get caught.

You lose if

• A zombie touches you
• The bus is destroyed
• You or a passenger starves

Funny. Mean. Make it to Texas — and hope the stronghold is real.
