In addition to this, it's rather difficult to play the same level the same way more than once, due to the variables of the game's physics.
Sandy dunes, slopes, and icy surfaces will affect the trucks movement as well, so even the changing terrain will change up the platforming, even if the player can never touch it.Ī common, yet still exciting, occurrence in Clustertruck. Some worlds will have giant hammers knocking the trucks off of cliffs, while some have missiles or lasers coming from various places, and some even have tractor beams that push and pull the player. However short the game may be, it's packed with variety, and rarely ever repeats itself with level structure, theme, or any obstacles. I for one found the game consistently challenging with a solid sense of progression, only getting truly frustrating in the last two worlds, and ended up beating the main campaign in about 5 hours. The difficulty is real in Clustertruck, with precise jumps and split-second timing constantly being asked of the player, but as with any game, your mileage may vary. There are 9 worlds in the main campaign, all in vastly different locations with different obstacles, with 10 levels per world, totaling at 90 levels.
You're just given a basic tutorial at the start, then you're let loose into the fast-paced and nonsensical world of truck-jumping laid out for you, and expected to adapt under pressure as the game gradually becomes more difficult over time. There is no story of any kind, or any context as to why you are jumping between the seemingly never-ending supply of trucks, let alone how they got where they are. These range from basic yet helpful additions such as a double jump and a brief slow-motion power, to ridiculous overhauls of the gameplay, including one that changes the gameplay to imitate the recently released Superhot, making it so time only moves when you do.īut regardless of what abilities you may use, no matter how you play Clustertruck, you will need to fully learn it's basics in order to master the art of flying through the air and hopscotching across the sea of speeding trucks.Ĭlustertruck is a game that is purely about gameplay. There are also a variety of purchasable abilities that will make the game easier, as well as deepen and drastically change up the gameplay, all available for purchase between levels using the points you earn for performing tricks and beating levels.
The base mechanics are jumping, running, and not running when necessary. Clustertruck is a prime example of easy to learn but hard to master.
