However, this was something I gave up with quite quickly and resorted to using everything on offer to ensure I reached the end.Įach world in the game starts you off with some very basic tutorial style levels to get you used to each of the new things they introduce, before cranking up the difficulty as levels progress. With just 90 levels making up the entire game that works out at around two hours-ish. After all, each level only takes a minute or two to reach the end, provided you keep a close eye on your landings – the trucks are moving vehicles after all. The first way is the way I initially approached the game, and that was to complete every level on my first playthrough without using any of the available movement or utility abilities on offer. There are two ways to approach this game – if you pay any attention to the achievement list that is.

Sure the gameplay is easy enough to just pick up and play, and the controls are super easy to get used to with just a few buttons controlling every action you’re ever going to make, but the challenge this game offers can sometimes get so intense that you’ll be needing to pry yourself away for a few minutes to calm down… or at least I did. Whilst Clustertruck may seem like nothing more than simplified platforming, it is certainly not a game that you want to approach light-heartedly. Each World has its own specific theme with players required to master Desert, Forest and Winter worlds before moving on to the more exciting and frustrating Laser and Sci-Fi worlds amongst a few others, including an ultimate boss level at the end of the final world, Hell.

In all, there are nine different stages, or ‘Worlds’, with ten levels to conquer in each. Whilst this may sound a little random and rather simple, there is no taking away just how enjoyable this game actually is – or just how frustrating it can become.

The idea of Clustertruck is a simple one you jump from truck to truck whilst avoiding contact with the floor, and indeed anything else that may arrive in any given level, to reach the goal at the end. It also comes with an art style and design almost identical to that of indie gem, SUPERHOT. For those unaware of what Clustertruck is, consider this as hybrid mashup of the popular childhood game ‘the floor is lava’, and that crazy TV programme Ice Road Truckers – if those truckers were REALLY drunk.
