On the Move: Our Bike, Truck, Train and Bus Games Compared
Bikes, trucks, trains and buses all have a game of their own on Games by Zaib. They share a love of vehicles but almost nothing else. Here is what each one is really like, who it suits and the lesson we learned the hard way on our first try.

Lots of children go through a vehicle phase, and plenty of grown-ups never leave it. We have four games built around things with wheels, but they ask for very different skills. One is a fast race with cartoon scuffles. One is a slow, careful truck-driving job. Two are puzzles: one about switching train tracks and one about getting cars out of a crowded car park.
We played every one of them for our guides. Here is a side-by-side look so you can pick the right one for the mood, or for the person you are choosing for.
At a glance
| Game | Type | Pace | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moto Mayhem | Motorbike racing with punches and kicks | Fast | Older children who like action |
| Haulway Heroes | 3D truck driving and delivery | Slow and steady | Patient players who like driving well |
| Rail Rush | Train track switching puzzle | Starts calm, gets busy | Train fans and quick thinkers |
| Bus Bonanza | Car park sorting puzzle | Thoughtful | Puzzle lovers of all ages |
Moto Mayhem: race, dodge and kick
Moto Mayhem is a motorbike race against seven rivals. The first track, Sunset Coast, runs along a sandy shore with palm trees and a huge orange sun. You steer with the left and right sides of the screen, by sliding your thumb or by tilting the phone. The PUNCH and KICK buttons let you push rivals off their bikes. It is cartoon action with no blood, but it is about knocking riders down, so it suits older children best.
Our first race was a lesson. We drifted onto the sand in the first few seconds, and a minute later we were still in 8th place at a steady 76 km/h. Riding off the road limits your top speed. The bike shakes, kicks up dust and an "OFF ROAD! Steer back" message flashes up.
There are five tracks, from Sunset Coast to the icy hairpins of Frost Peak, and a top-3 finish unlocks the next one. From Red Canyon on, a police biker patrols the road. You have two health bars, one for the rider and one for the bike, and pickups such as the wrench and medkit refill them.
Starter tip: keep the bike between the kerbs and dodge traffic first. Fighting comes second. When you have the cash, the Viper 600 at $3,500 is a good first bike.
Haulway Heroes: the calm road trip
Haulway Heroes is the opposite of a race. You drive a big truck through a 3D world of coasts, farmland, cities, deserts, forests, canyons and snowy passes, with day and night, rain, fog and snow. There are traffic lights, toll gates, weigh stations and speed cameras. The skill is driving smoothly and parking well.
The game starts with a Guided first delivery from Port Bayu to Kotaraya. Friendly tips pop up at just the right moments, such as how Lane Assist keeps you centred when you let go of the wheel. Our lesson from that first run: don't just hold GAS. In a city the speed limits and lights come quickly, and a heavy truck takes a long time to slow down.
Your pay is worked out from the base pay plus bonuses for time, careful cargo handling, good parking and comfort, minus any fines. A fast but messy delivery can pay less than a slow, clean one. Cargo ranges from General Goods to Fragile Glass, which counts damage three times, and Oversized Machines that must follow an escort car. At the end of each job you back the trailer into a glowing bay, and Auto-park is there for younger drivers, for a smaller bonus.
Starter tip: take corners wide and slowly, because a trailer cuts inside the bend. In reverse, use only small steering moves, or the trailer can jackknife.
Rail Rush: be the signal operator
Rail Rush looks like a toy train set on a picnic blanket. Trains come out of a tunnel one at a time, and you tap switches to send each one to the station of its colour. Every station also has a symbol, such as a star or a square, so players who find some colours hard to tell apart can match the symbols instead.
On our first try we tapped nothing, just to see what would happen. Every train followed the same arrow, and only 3 of 8 arrived at the right station. On the second try we watched each train as it left the tunnel and set the switch before it got there. That earned a Perfect with 8 of 8 on time, three stars and 70 coins.
There are 40 levels across Meadow Valley, Sunset Canyon, Snowy Peaks and the hand-made Bonus Lines. Rainbow trains from level 5 are happy at any station, and the Slow-Mo Whistle slows everything down when the track gets crowded.
Starter tip: look at the next train, not the one already past the switch. In the shop, buy Steady Rails first. It makes trains roll more slowly and gives you more time on every level.
Bus Bonanza: the car park puzzle
Bus Bonanza is a puzzle about a very full car park. Passengers wait in a queue of colours, and every vehicle in the lot has an arrow on its roof. Tap a vehicle and it drives forward in the direction of its arrow, but only if nothing is in the way. Once out, it parks in a free spot, and passengers of its colour climb aboard. Cars seat 4, vans 6 and buses 10.
On level 1 we tapped a blue van that was pointing straight at a red truck. It bumped, shook and stayed put. The fix was to move the red vehicles first, which also matched what the queue needed next. Follow the queue's colour, and check what is in front of the arrow before you tap.
There are hundreds of levels, every one of them solvable, and the scenery changes every five levels between beach, city, snow and night. Power-ups such as VIP, Arrange, Jumble and Undo help when you are stuck, but finishing without any of them is what earns three stars.
Starter tip: keep at least one parking spot free whenever you can, and save buses for long runs of one colour.
Which one should you play?
- For a thrill: Moto Mayhem. Short races, lots of action, best for older children.
- For a relaxing drive: Haulway Heroes. No violence, and the guided delivery teaches everything step by step.
- For a quick brain-teaser: Rail Rush. Levels are short and the first world is gentle.
- For a puzzle you can take slowly: Bus Bonanza. Read the queue, look along the arrows and plan each tap before you make it.
All four games are free, run in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, and save your progress on your device. Each one has a full guide on our Guides page, with controls, tips and screenshots from our own play.
