Clustertruck
WHAT EXACTLY WILL YOU DO HERE IN 5 MINUTES?
Clustertruck consists of dozens of stages, but most of them can be completed in a few or several seconds. If you manage to complete the level in a single try, which is hard – it all depends on whether you've done the jump right or used a special ability (e.g. double jump) in the right moment.
Clustertruck is probably the most absurd game on the list. The idea is that we have dozens of white trucks that, like mechanized lemmings, all rush forward at dizzying speed toward the finish line. They don't care that they fall off the track, collide, or even explode. And the player, in this mess, has to jump between their roofs without touching the ground or any other element of the scenery. The faster the trucks move, the farther the player can bounce off them, using their momentum. The goal is simple – the finish line looming in the distance.
On paper, the gameplay may seem insanely simple, but in practice, it is madness. Clustertruck will be a challenge even to the most skilled and stress-resistant players. And since the whole happens so fast, and the stage load times are really quick, its an overwhelming experience. With this game, there is a lot of potential for "one-more-game" syndrome, and dynamic music only drives you to try again and get through that damn chasm.
