![]() This then affects the number of trucks that will make it to the goal you need to pass, meaning you need to ensure you plan where you’re going to jump at all times. The first world for example has players getting used to jumping to each truck with a slight insight into how they move, whilst later levels in the same world will see trucks splitting up, with some of them crashing and exploding or tipping over. However, this was something I gave up with quite quickly and resorted to using everything on offer to ensure I reached the end.Įach world in the game starts you off with some very basic tutorial style levels to get you used to each of the new things they introduce, before cranking up the difficulty as levels progress. With just 90 levels making up the entire game that works out at around two hours-ish. After all, each level only takes a minute or two to reach the end, provided you keep a close eye on your landings – the trucks are moving vehicles after all. The first way is the way I initially approached the game, and that was to complete every level on my first playthrough without using any of the available movement or utility abilities on offer. There are two ways to approach this game – if you pay any attention to the achievement list that is. Sure the gameplay is easy enough to just pick up and play, and the controls are super easy to get used to with just a few buttons controlling every action you’re ever going to make, but the challenge this game offers can sometimes get so intense that you’ll be needing to pry yourself away for a few minutes to calm down… or at least I did. Whilst Clustertruck may seem like nothing more than simplified platforming, it is certainly not a game that you want to approach light-heartedly. Each World has its own specific theme with players required to master Desert, Forest and Winter worlds before moving on to the more exciting and frustrating Laser and Sci-Fi worlds amongst a few others, including an ultimate boss level at the end of the final world, Hell. In all, there are nine different stages, or ‘Worlds’, with ten levels to conquer in each. ![]() Whilst this may sound a little random and rather simple, there is no taking away just how enjoyable this game actually is – or just how frustrating it can become. The idea of Clustertruck is a simple one you jump from truck to truck whilst avoiding contact with the floor, and indeed anything else that may arrive in any given level, to reach the goal at the end. It also comes with an art style and design almost identical to that of indie gem, SUPERHOT. These include double jumps, aerial boosts, and the ability to slow time.For those unaware of what Clustertruck is, consider this as hybrid mashup of the popular childhood game ‘the floor is lava’, and that crazy TV programme Ice Road Truckers – if those truckers were REALLY drunk. Not only will you need to complete the levels as quickly as possible, but do so performing as many tricks and stunts as you can! The more you wow the audience, the more style points you’ll pick up, which you can use to unlock abilities in the game’s store. The gameplay itself is child’s play: direct your jump with the joystick, and press and hold the jump button to control the length of your jump, and then just hope that the line of trucks doesn’t change direction at the last moment!īut to get the family high score, you’ll also need a bit of luck and plenty of creativity. With its first-person gameplay and unpredictable platforms, it will certainly keep newbies busy after they’ve got hooked on the first few levels, which are pure, unbridled fun. It will go down well with fans of Die n’ Retry games and anyone who feels that need for speed. ![]() But rest assured: no truck drivers were harmed in the making of this game!Ĭlustetruck is a madcap blend of racing game and 3D platformer developed by Landfall. There’ll be no time to admire the scenery, even if your playground does span the four corners of the globe… and beyond: from the desert to futuristic metropolises, and even medieval castles! Of course, your capers are carefully timed, and you’ll be awarded a grade after each race.Īt least you will if you make it to the end without mistiming a jump or bashing into an obstacle! Because when you’re riding on top of speeding trucks, the slightest mistake may prove fatal. The concept is simple: you’re catapulted in amongst a rush of out-of-control trucks, and you have to jump from one to another to reach the finish line. Is there anything more fun than racing 33-ton trucks along the whole world’s highways? Well, maybe jumping up on top of them and seeing where it takes you! If you like trucks, high speed, and death-defying tricks, you’re in the right place with Clustertruck!
