It's just that I'm frequently awful at it (I've only managed to break the top 10,000 on any given level's leaderboard a handful of times), and right now I'm happy to resign myself to watching other players in their efforts to scale the heights of Clustertruck's challenge.

It's the polar opposite of that other runaway truck success on Steam: whereas a session in Euro Truck Simulator is measured in long, peaceful hours that roll by, here it's all over in a few angry seconds.Ĭlustertruck is beautiful in its own way, and when it works - when you're hovering above a pile-up, or bounding between airborne trucks as they soar over a chasm - it gives you a Hollywood thrill with its limited means. Things explode, and often, leaving you to pick through the smoke and debris. Clustertruck's levels, while brief, are often unpredictable - you're lost to the mindless clashing of traffic as it butts up against itself, a mad stream of lorries that buckles and buffets like an untamed river. It's a game designed to make you shout and swear, a joke you're often the butt of but one that's outrageously funny all the same. Given how you've only ever a few paces to play with when running from truck to truck, it's something of a cruel joke, but that's Clustertruck to the core, really. It was only some 30 minutes in that I realised there was a sprint button - one that allows you to spool up a more powerful jump that reaches that little bit further. It's pretty secretive with its kinks, too. Scratch a little deeper and there are abilities to be unlocked through the scores you acquire in each level: grapple hooks, double-jumps and speed boosts that all help dull the brutal, blunt difficulty that meets you when you first start playing. There are small cushions to be found within its stern challenge, little buffers that let you cling on to the back of truck before boosting yourself up should you slightly mistime a jump, or a brief wall-run that lets you skirt the sides of each ride. Once you settle into its rhythm it's a riot, where Super Meat Boy's hard edges are reflected through Mirror's Edge's first-person free-running.Ĭlustertruck is a simple game, though it's not without its complexities. It's the ludicrous highway action scene of The Matrix Reloaded made more ludicrous still.

I can't wait to watch others suffer, though.Īlready a hit with YouTubers well before its full retail release on PC and PlayStation 4 this week, Clustertruck is built around a beautifully barmy idea: a stream of trucks courses from one end of a level to another, blindly crashing into each other as you run and jump atop each one to reach the goal. Clustertruck is too hard, too painful and too frustrating for someone with my limited talents. I'm done cursing at every unreadable twist in each level, and I've had enough of twisting my controller tightly in my hands in pure frustration as its plastic audibly tweaks and I can feel its screws starting to strain free.

This is opensource, and if a feature you want isn’t implemented, feel free to submit a change or mark it as an issue.After an hour of tumbling between cascading lorries, smashing against the delightfully improbable lunar physics of this impossible game, I think I'm done. If you find any bugs, please mark them here so we can fix them. However, it does not reset when you go back to the level selection screen. The autosplitter will reset when you go back a level. Dev Modeĭon’t use this unless you know what you are doing. this allows runs to only start from the level select screen. This prevents the autosplitter automatically starting if you press R in a level while the timer is off. Turning this false makes it split per world. Leave this on if you are doing any full game runs like any% or NoAbility. This is the default way to run the game from 1:1 to the end. In the settings, there are a couple of options that determine how the autosplitter will behave. From now on, once you start the first level of a world, splits will begin automatically. To use, just go to Edit Splits, Ensure that the game dropdown is set to Clustertruck, and click Activate. Eye-tracking also has been known to cause issues too. If the game was patched by the old autosplitter be sure to reverify the integrity of files or reinstall the game to remove the patch.
Programs that affect Clustertruck’s memory will break the autosplitter.
This is an autosplitter for Clustertruck, fully integrated into Livesplit’s XML database.
