You start to feel tested and the need to implement more patience and skill is necessary. In the first world, the desert, it doesn’t feel particularly challenging, but towards the end it really picks up. There’s an abundance of levels for you to play, all taking place over different themed worlds including ancient, winter, medieval and steampunk. Ever have that dream where you’re floating down the stairs, occasionally feeling a step underneath your feet? That’s how it feels to play Clustertruck. If you fall off, touch the ground or get walloped by one of the many obstacles you encounter, it’s back to the start. In Clustertruck, you have to jump on a shitload of moving trucks in each level, reaching the finish line in one continuous movement, all through a first-person perspective. It’s bastard hard, but occasionally the physics can let it down and you realise that it’s not 100% your fault. I don’t think I’m particularly bad at games either, but this made me feel like such an amateur, a rookie, even though I’ve been playing video games since I was 7 years old. I don’t think there has been a game this year that’s made me get as angry or annoyed as Clustertruck, and I’ve played Dark Souls 3. "Super Hot Meets Trucks? You Get Super Trucks, Obviously". "Van Damme meets The Matrix in Clustertruck". "PAX East: ClusterTruck is 'Way, Way, Way Too Hard '". "Superhot meets Clustertruck in Super Truck". "Super Truck is Superhot but with trucks". "Playable April Fools' gag Supertruck apes Superhot, Clustertruck".

But the static button mapping put look on the right stick and jump on the X button of the PS4 game controller, making it impossible to do both.
The gameplay requires the player to jump and look around simultaneously. Criticism Ĭlustertruck on PlayStation 4 remains largely unplayable because the publisher would not respond to bug reports regarding button mapping. The game was released on 27 September 2016. Landfall released preview copies of the game to various YouTube and Twitch streamers to help promote the title.

This deal led the developers to push the release date to the third quarter of 2016, where Landfall Games CEO Wilhem Nylund said that it was "initially intended for the game to be a small project with a short development", but changed his mind and considered the game to be delayed even further, as it has "gaining more and more traction." As an April Fool's Day joke, Landfall released a free demo version of Clustertruck called Supertruck that incorporated the visual style and mechanic of the recently released Superhot, in which the internal clock within the game moves forward when the player-character moves. At PAX South 2016, it was announced that Landfall Games had signed a publishing deal with tinyBuild. The game was officially revealed on 16 December 2015 with a trailer and a release date of April 2016. Development ĭevelopment on Clustertruck started in September 2015, after the development on Landfall Games' previous game, Square Brawl, was finished. The player's cumulative score points can be used to purchase one of several abilities, such as a double jump or a quick boost of speed, which can then be used to either successfully pass more difficult levels or to improve one's time and scoring on earlier ones. On each stage, the player is scored based on how fast they reach a goal line and a number of style points based on various tricks, such as jumping off a truck that is currently in mid-air. The player is usually unable to touch anything other than trucks, and will otherwise fail their task of reaching the goal at the end of the level. They are set to jump onto a moving line of trucks, avoiding obstacles and truck pile-ups and crashes.
In Clustertruck, the player controls a character from a first-person perspective.
