Some have giant boulders cascading down the hill toward the truck caravan. Also, each course has a variety of obstacles aside from just the moving trucks. The big catch is that the ground is like lava, meaning you will die if you touch it at all. You start on top of an 18-wheeler, and your goal is to run and jump across a series of moving 18-wheelers to the finish line. The premise is as simple as the visual style. But none of that matters as you race and jump across the tops of these 18-wheelers in hopes to make it to the end of the truck line, just so you can try another heinous race across trucks. The shading and shapes of the trees and rocks are nothing to write home about. And yet, I refused to quit until I completed the level available in the demo.Ĭlustertruck, as you can see from just the image above, is unbelievably simple in presentation, even for a tinyBuild game. This game is a formula guaranteed to make me and most likely several others rage-quit within minutes. The only element it was missing was horror, but I would have nooope'd out of that before the PR rep could have finished asking me if I wanted to try it.īut what Clustertruck does have is extreme pressure, parkour, platforming, insta-fails, no real room for error, and a race against certain death. It turns out that I was right, and it is indeed everything I avoid in a video game. Clustertruck, one of their upcoming titles, appears to be everything I avoid in games, but I tried it at PAX West anyway. Their games are often extremely simple and yet extremely addictive. While it might not be the deepest game ever, you're likely to enjoy the action aspects of it.I'm a sucker for nearly anything tinyBuild publishes. Players can explore 90 different levels that are all packed with horrible drivers and a ton of bizarre situations to get into.
You'll probably find yourself falling on a regular basis, but that's part of the fun. In some cases, you'll need to deal with environmental hazards that range from hot desert sands to snowy mountain peaks. On top of this, the game's physics engine is wacky on purpose, which makes it even more of a challenge to reach the end of a level. You'll need to pay close attention the patterns that they exhibit if you want to have some hope of making it to your destination.
In many cases, they'll collide with one another and run into the barriers on the side of the road. While this would be enough of a challenge by itself, you'll have to keep in mind that the trucks in question are swerving out of control while you try to jump on top of them. Clustertruck is an unusual platform game where you're in control of a character who has to constantly leap back and forth between different moving vehicles so that they don't end up on the ground.
