CLUSTERTRUCK
With so many dear people leaving my country and going elsewhere to work as truckers, I take sinful pride in seeing so many trucks bumped and destroyed in this game. An (ex-)trucker must have been stuck so many time in convoys and terrible traffic jams and have expressed his frustrations to an eager programmer truthfully enough to have these unpleasant experiences turned into a game. It is very common to have people walking atop your truck trying to rob you of your gasoline, tyres or your truck itself while you're trying to get some sleep during nights.
So in this game you may easily be a thug who tries to rob a truck in a convoy when the convoy starts moving. CLUSTERTRUCK is a platform indie game where the aim is to stay atop moving trucks (moving platforms) long enough to meet the finish line. If you touch the ground, get burnt, or hit by rocks, trees, contraptions etc you die. The pun in the title is thoroughly appropriate, as the game becomes harder with each level making you realise the first few levels were just training ground for the onslaughts to come. You decide whether you run or sprint before jumping, and you can slightly correct your movement while in air.Takes some getting used to, As the levels become wackier and more addictive, you get style points and acquire skills. You can only unlock two skills total at any given time , but once you've amassed all 14 of them you will have a whole lot of features to choose from : slow-falling , taking a double jump, beaming yourself elsewhere, using climbing hooks, jet packs etc.
Fresh ideas that become unique gaming experiences are not hard to come by at all.
