Monster Truck Jump

Prospectus

MONSTER TRUCK JUMP is a game about one perfect launch. You take a monster truck down a coastal ramp, hit the lip flat out and fly as far as you can out over the lagoon, flattening a row of parked cars on the way down. A run is over in seconds and ends one of two ways: a landing you feel good about, or a spectacular wreck that leaves the truck genuinely crumpled. Both pay. Cars crushed and metres flown are banked as cash, and the cash buys your way up an eight-truck ladder from the free clubman PHOBOS to the 28,000 WHITEOUT, each one quicker off the line and further through the air than the last. Rather than an abstract high score, a fixed field of fourteen rivals runs from 35 metres to 370, so there is always a specific name sitting just ahead of you to take down.

How it plays

One thumb, one skill: catch the sweeping needle in the green. Tap to launch. The top of the green is a HOLESHOT and lifts your top speed for the whole run. Too early and you bog down. Too late and you spin the wheels. Tap again to change up. Six gears, same green window each time. Over-rev a shift and you lose the speed you just built. Hit the ramp as fast as you can. Hold anywhere in the air to tuck. It pushes you further but drops the nose. Let go in time to level out. Landing nose-first is a wreck. Use nitro whenever you want to force it. Land on your wheels to bank the run. Land on your roof and you still keep every car you flattened.
