History VideoGame / ClusterTruck

''Clustertruck'' is a high speed platforming game in a First-Person perspective developed by Landfall Games and published by Creator/TinyBuild in 2016. It is available on UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, Windows, Mac, and Linux. The game's basic idea is you are jumping from a multitude of trucks, in what you would loosely describe as a cluster, and that is basically it, just jump.

* ColossusClimb: [[spoiler: Truck Satan is many ''MANY'' times larger than the player character to the point where you climb all the safe trucks on his body.]]

* FinalBoss: [[spoiler: The final boss is just [[SatanicArchetype Truck Satan.]]]]

* NoPlotNoProblem: There is no reason or story as to why you are hopping from truck to truck, you just are. [[spoiler: And Truck Satan was there.]]

* SatanicArchetype: [[spoiler: The final boss is most accurately described as "Truck Satan". That is about it.]]

* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: Let's face it, the name is close to "Clusterf*ck".

The game operates on a level to level base going through a total of 9 worlds, each one based on an unique setting, with 10 levels each. After each level, you get rewarded with "style points", the amount of which depending on how fast you finished the level and on stunts you may have done. You can then spend these points to buy various abilites, such as a DoubleJump or a GrapplingHookPistol, to finish earlier levels even more quickly or to make later levels easier to beat. The game also features Website/{{Twitch}} integration allowing many odd effects based on the chat's (And if they're feeling particularly sadistic, the devs themselves') whims.

* CrossOver : The "Supertruck" ability, adding the ''VideoGame/{{Superhot}}'' gimmick to the ''Clustertruck'' gimmick, where time (and trucks) only move when the player moves.

* ExperiencePoints : The "style points". You earn them by doing "stylish" stunts, finishing a level quickly and/or on the first try. These points are then used to buy new abilities.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The title of the game is a play on words of the expression "Clusterfuck", the game is rated E by the way.

* FrickinLaserBeams:
** There is a complete world dedicated to them. Naturally, touching one of them is an instant death.
** One of the chat options when using the Twitch integration is "Lasertrucks", which gives each truck a laser beam at their rear.
