Bus Rush Fever! Level 87 Walkthrough

medium 5 colors

Bus Rush Fever! Level 87 clears cleanly when you pick one side of the swirl, deepen it into a lane, and let the rest of the circle collapse around that route. The board is open enough to wander, but the safe solve is still disciplined.

Board Notes

Layout: Level 87 opens as a loose swirl of buses around a small interior space. Green, blue, red, pink, and brown pieces form a rough ring, but the outer shape is uneven and one darker piece hangs low beneath the circle. The board looks airy compared with the previous few levels.
Goal: The real target is the loose middle route that can turn the swirl into a real ring lane. Until one side of that circle is claimed, the scattered pieces keep drifting back into a soft heap.
Opening: The walkthrough chooses one side of the swirl and opens it further before cleaning the opposite curve. It uses the lower hanging piece as a support reset rather than immediate cleanup. The solve is paced by one dependable loop edge.
Danger Zone: The trap is chasing whichever outer piece looks easiest. That opens several short arcs but no long lane, so the swirl never becomes stable enough for repeated traffic.
Mechanics: Level 87 is an airy ring board. Space exists, but it is low-quality space until one edge of the circle proves it can stay open through multiple handoffs.
