Desert Bus drops you behind the wheel of a bus and sends you across an endless desert, collecting items, earning medals, and decking out your ride with decorations. This guide covers the core loop, how to squeeze more performance out of the game, what Plus membership gives you, and how to handle other players.
In shortEverything you do in Desert Bus feeds into three connected systems: MP$, medals, and decorations.
As you drive through the desert you will encounter events and pick up items along the way. MP$, the in-game currency, lets you buy items and decorations. Medals are also worth collecting because they connect to rewards. Decorations go onto your bus, so the longer you play, the more personalised your ride becomes.
