Then more trucks will hit them and create a pileup, and if you’re unlucky it’s possible to get stuck behind the trucks that have stopped, while the ones that kept going are too far away to jump to without certain power-ups. Even simple curves can sometimes be too much for them to handle, and some trucks will under-turn and go into the edge of the road. The trucks’ movement is almost entirely subject to the game’s physics engine, which can lead to some unpredictable results when they are driving on anything other than level, even, open terrain. See that banner in the distance? That’s where we’re heading. In addition, hitting the back or sides of a truck will allow the player to jump as well as landing on top, and jumping from a vertical surface launches you higher depending on how far down the surface you started holding the jump button. The idea of a first-person platformer may be a turn-off, but Clustertruck makes it work by having the perspective close to the ground and by not having a lot of vertical movement, with most of the jumps being either slightly above and well within the player’s jump arc, level with or below the player. There’s also a number of obstacles that get added, such as missiles, lasers, giant rotating wheels, and other hazards. The biggest obstacle is often the ground itself – the only safe surfaces to land on are the many transfer trucks barrelling down the road (or falling into the abyss, or being fired from cannons) alongside you. The main point of Clustertruck is to get from the starting point to a marked goal as quickly as possible while avoiding various obstacles that the game throws your way. I did get a look at how the game plays, but that’s all I saw. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to play it at any point, but there was always a large crowd around the tinyBuild booth playing it. If your a fan of fast paced extremely intense action games I really Recommend ClusterTruck, It's in a league of it's own.Clustertruck is a game that was a big deal at PAX West this year. The game has a fair amount of levels to work your way through but they also have a level editor so the possibilities are endless. ClusterTruck is at it's prime when you start to master the game and learn how to double jump just right or how to handle your speed and momentum.There are lots of upgrades to choose from like Jet pack or double jump that can completely change how you play. There is also a nice amount of themes to the maps, Some Retro some medieval but it helps keep the game fresh.ClusterTruck shines when you are in the middle of those "Oh crap" Moments, When your go off of a drop off or double jumping hundreds of meters ahead you get a great feeling of speed and action. Maps usually have massive drop offs, ramps, Slow motion, death traps and many other ways to die. They move around quite random and can make it difficult to not fall to your death. There is also a nice amount of themes to the maps, Some Retro some ClusterTruck is a extremely fast paced plat-former where the levels consist of jumping from roof to roof on trucks that have a mind of your own.
