Meanwhile, the level editor is fully featured, with options to adjust gravity and the colour scheme of a map, and there seems to be no limit to the amount of trucks you can plonk into the landscape. These are unlocked using style points which you accumulate in-game by doing ridiculous and / or correct things, and many people online have discovered amusing ways to cheese the game – especially using the grappling hook, which can swing you around some of the levels’ boundaries.Įach level has global leaderboards, and while there’s an option to race the ghost of the top ranking player, it seems cheating is rife: on level 7:4 for instance, several top players have a time of 0:00 – simply impossible, even with a jetpack. I usually use double jump, but you can implement a dash, a jetpack, a teleporter and a grappling hook, among other things, all of which have short cooldown periods. These make the game sillier, but also, in some ways, easier. One of each can be activated simultaneously. There are two categories of modifiers, organised under “movement” and “utility” abilities. But that's not going to happen until some of its imperfections are addressed. I would like to see it become an olympic sport. Personally, I would like to see ClusterTruck become an esport.
Aim to defy gravity and shoot for the best. Rather, the challenge lies in how many points you can get based off how much airtime you score on the way down to the goal.
It hardly ruins the fun, but it makes the game a bit less precision-oriented than it maybe should be. As the titles implies, this isn't a map that will test your skills or reflexes to complete. Hit detection can be weird, and the game is often undecided on whether you should be allowed to propel yourself off the side of trucks, or whether that means you die. That said, ClusterTruck is a very fun game to play even if you don't have an audience egging you on, and it almost transcends its novelty status.Īlmost, because it is very ropey. This game was clearly designed with streamers in mind: it has Twitch integration, meaning online celebrities are better equipped to film themselves screaming charismatically as they hurtle into the abyss. There is a jump button, and a run faster button, and the best way to play ClusterTruck is to never run any less than faster. Others are strewn with obstacles, like big sweeping meat tenderisers, rotating traps, and of course, lasers. Other levels have crossroads at vastly different elevations, meaning you’ll need to take a well-timed leap at some point. Some of the levels are just a straight line of speeding trucks across which one must hop towards the finishing line. I’ve played seven of the ten worlds in ClusterTruck, and each world has ten levels.
