It’s horribly addictive and often hilarious tough and sometimes unforgiving but never frustrating, because even though your attempts will often only last seconds at a time, you’ll be straight back in the action with the press of a button. It’s a ridiculous, very odd concept but one that is tuned to absolute perfection. Though you can – at least in the earlier levels – look out for patterns in the way the trucks collide and crash (with excellently implemented physics), later in the game you’ll encounter less predictable, more chaotic pile ups that encompass multiple convoys of trucks, moving separately and in different directions, on your perilous journey to reach the stage’s end.ĭifferent power ups and abilities will give you more of a fighting chance the currency needed to buy these is doled out fairly slowly but you’ll earn enough to buy the first when you’re more than ready for it – and just at the point when your basic single jump ability isn’t quite enough to survive the stages you’re trying to get through.
I haven’t got far enough in Clustertruck to give it a full review, but I’ve played it enough to tell you that it’s really, really good.Ī surreal variation on childhood game/pastime ‘the floor is lava’, Clustertruck sees you leaping from truck to truck as they drive through the world, attempting to make your way to the goal.
