Double-jumps, jetpacks and time manipulation all become available depending on your ‘style points’ banked – a currency unlocked based on how quickly you complete a level, as well as bonuses for making it through on the first try, or managing difficult jumps such as from an airborne truck. You can’t just plan a path after running through the level a few times, because you have no idea when the next clustertruck of a pile-up will happen.Īfter running through the first ten levels or so, a new facet of this gameplay is unlocked – while you can jump, sprint and navigate from the get-go, hitting this milestone unlocks optional abilities and skills to help tweak your ability to move through the levels. A single truck stumbling over rough terrain or hitting a wall can have a knock-on effect, sending the rest crashing, exploding or cartwheeling into the air unexpectedly. While all of the trucks follow a predetermined path, this is not a scripted trek minute variations in each trucks’ path makes one play of a level distinct from another.
In actual practice it presents as more of a challenge than you might think. It sounds simple, and theoretically it is.
Spread over a bunch of short and sweet levels, you’ll find yourself navigating in leaps and bounds as trucks rampage through the environment, slamming into obstacles and each other. What follows is a twitch-reaction game of physics and snap decisions. You need to reach that destination by throwing yourself from truck to truck as they continually come to grievous harm, making sure never to splatter yourself on the ground. It has brought along a bunch of its truck mates, who also have the same destination in mind.
That truck is barrelling towards its distant destination, regardless of obstacles. The premise is simple: you are some sort of crazy parkour wizard, standing on a truck. And on occasion? You’ll keep playing because it just refuses to let you go. Other times, you’ll play a game for hours because it’s just that damn pretty to look at. Sometimes, you get a game that you’ll play for hours and hours because it has a rich and engrossing narrative.
