  • Game Play
    • Goal
      • The goal of the game is to make it to the checkered flag at the end of the level without flipping over, crashing, or falling off platform.
      • While your goal is to drive the truck, it feels almost as if the truck’s goal is to crash.
    • Tips
      • Obstacles
        • The game has a variety of obstacles including vertically moving platforms, balls, and boxes.
        • With balls and boxes the goal is to try to push them off platform without crashing or going too fast that you follow them off platform.
          • Sometimes this will require many attempts.
          • As a rule, it is better to be slightly light and try again than it is to be slightly too hard and fall off platform.
        • With the vertically moving platforms you have to time your entry onto them so that you can make the exit off of them without getting into a wreck.
          • Be careful not to hit the gas while the platform is at it’s zenith, or else you will likely roll your truck when the platform falls below.
      • Acceleration
        • When you accelerate your truck also pulls a wheelie like a motorcycle might.
          • To minimize the impact of the counterclockwise torque rotation it can be helpful to accelerate more on flat land to boost your speed and then lay off your accelerator right before you jump.
        • Some parts of the game require you roll backward to fall down onto another platform. Optimizing your speed is tricky.
          • Go too slow and your back end falls off first and you crash.
          • Go too fast and you have so much energy you can crash into obstacles at the edge of the platform, run off the edge of a platform, or roll your truck by trying to stop too quickly.
        • If at any point your front wheels come off the ground lay off the accelerator until they go back down.
      • Deceleration
        • In this game you speed up much faster than you slow down.
        • On some platforms you can slow down quicker by letting a ramp at the end of them absorb your energy.
        • If you do not have enough energy to make a jump but have enough to slow down you can slow down to a stop, measure up the jump to the next platform then roll back to the start of the current platform, speed up on the flat part, and then jump.
        • If you are going into reverse you tap the accelerator to slow down. If the front wheels come off the ground let off the gas & then repeatedly lightly tap.
      • Speed
        • If there are bumps on the ground it is typically best to repeatedly & lightly tap the accelerator over them and go slowly to minimize kinetic energy & stay balanced.
          • If possible build up your momentum on a more flat part of the course.
        • When you run into boxes or balls it is best to size them up by hitting them slowly then adjust your speed higher. If boxes are on the landing end of a jump you may need extra energy to break through them.
        • If the ground is fairly flat it can take a long time to slow down.
      • Jumps
        • In some parts of this game you can go from jump to jump without much thought, but in many parts of the game you should treat each jump as a distinct and separate event. After landing on a platform you can roll back to near the beginning of the platform, hit the gas, and then exit the platform with more energy to make the next jump.
  • Target Audience
    • The game is suited for players who like monster trucks or physics puzzle games.
    • The game has no adult themed content.
