I don’t know who is driving these trucks, but they are terrible drivers, often flipping off the road and crashing into one another, which makes for some very fast paced and chaotic platforming gameplay. As I made my way through the first world I soon realized that ClusterTruck is like no other platform game I’ve played before. You would think that it would get dull and boring after a few levels, but I stuck with it and I was pleasantly surprised. There isn’t much to look at in the environment, the trucks themselves are plain white and there is not much going on other than the trucks you see driving. At first glance you simply run from truck to truck towards the finish trying not to fall or touch anything in your path. Clustertruck is entirely first person and not being able to see my character as I made my way from truck to truck really threw me off. Playing through the first two or three levels felt odd to me. When I first picked up the controller to play I must admit, my first impression wasn’t a good one.
With a premise like that it has the potential to be boring and repetitive, but surprisingly this “truckformer” is well designed and filled with some very wild and crazy obstacles, making jumping on trucks incredibly enjoyable!

At its core, developer Landfall Games physics based platformer is nothing more that jumping across a series of moving trucks to reach a goal. That’s the best way to describe ClusterTruck. You’re not shooting anything, you’re not fighting anything, you just jump on trucks.
