Nene Royal: Bus Parade

Nene Royal: Bus Parade is a web-based arcade fan game where Nene waves her hands on a purple double-decker bus driving through Bangkok streets. Players earn points by waving but must duck when obstacles approach. The challenge lies in deciding whether to keep standing to gain more points or duck to avoid danger.

Hold to duck, release to earn points

When the button is released, Nene stands up and waves, and the score increases; holding the button down makes her bow down and temporarily stop collecting points, so bowing down all the way and hoping to score is not possible. The game page indicates to use Space, Down Arrow, or Left Mouse Button, but the primary method is still alternating between holding and releasing the button.

The advantage of this control scheme is that it uses few buttons and clearly shows the character's posture, but the timing of releasing is as important as the timing of pressing, because standing up while an obstacle is still in front of the character may cause a collision. The excitement lies in reading the position of the obstacle, not just pressing quickly.

One life on a street full of things to watch

Power lines, low bridges, and trees are obstacles to watch out for, along with DUCK! signs warning you to crouch. The game offers only one life; upon collision, the round ends. There's little room for recovery after a mistake, but the results screen features a Play again button to restart. It's well-suited for trying to time your moves and then returning to score again.

Siam Paragon, the Nene Royal bus, and fans holding signs give the parade a distinctive atmosphere. Taxis and motorcycles add lively details to the street. While playing, you need to distinguish obstacles approaching Nene from the surrounding scenery in time.

Who is it suitable for?

This game is suitable for fans of Nene and those who enjoy rhythm-based arcade games. It uses few buttons and encourages trying to improve your score. A point to consider is that you have only one life, so missing a beat means restarting the round, and ducking for safety comes at the cost of score pauses. Those who dislike the pressure of rhythm-based gameplay may enjoy the parade atmosphere more than chasing the score. This review is based on web play using the Space button on October 10, 2026.
