Also, regarding the Apt. #'s - Space taxi used to have them actually say "7 please" or whatnot (albeit in really bad synthed speech, this was like 1986 heh.) Still, it really did help a good bit, you could get them going without having to look away from the taxi and check. Maybe think about that one too, wouldn't think it'd be too hard to record a few "# please"'s. Still, that's pretty optional, I just found it a big help in the original.

People are going to extraordinary lengths to avoid taking the stairs.

Wow it's Space Taxi sorta updated. One of my favorite old C64 games. Sorta missed having to deploy landing gear and land right or die though. Also, the destination part could be a bit clearer - it was often hard to read the apartment #'s. Still, not bad. I'd pretty seriously suggest a much smaller bus and a much larger playing field, as well visible lateral thrusters. It's pretty hard to tell what's happening when you try to move side to side. Lastly, and not least, with the bigger field and all make it so you smush passengers if you land on them, those requiring better driving. That'd all be great :) Still, nice to see Space Taxi rise from its grave!

Its not one of those games you can instantly start playing and destroying stuff with 1 click, it takes more then that probably because our background on games comes from a time (80's) where you actually had to make an effort to accomplish things. The game that offered some inspiration to JetBus (Ugh!) would end as soon as you hit something with your vehicle, you didn't get a second chance (no health bar) and it was still extraordinarily fun. So you have to give the game a chance to grow on you and hopefully it will become addictive then.
Anyway, we hope at least some people enjoy it like we do, that's all we care about, the fact that it brough some nice memories for Irasfel already makes our day. :)
