Performance is another area where the game shines. Semi-trucks are, by their nature, boxy and uncomplicated to render, so unless your machine is really in sore need of an upgrade, you shouldn’t have any problems achieving that magic 60-frames per second threshold. It may seem like an obvious point to make, but in a game about jumping on trucks, you won’t ever find yourself thinking, “Gee, I wish there were more trucks in this game.” The simplicity of Landfall’s design also allows for many of these things to be on screen at once. My issues with Clustertruck are small in number, but they’re not insignificant. For one, it’s a little difficult early on to determine just how large your hitbox is. And it seems to change depending on which obstacle you’re trying to clear. For example, leaping over wood planks and high-powered lasers gave me the impression that I could avoid death by squeezing through tight spaces. But later on, you’re expected to clear plumes of fire. At first, I attempted to subvert the flame traps by horizontally darting around what I believed to be their maximum reach. But I was still greeted with the “level failed” screen every time. So I figured jumping over them might make it easier. Unless I cleared the fire by what felt like five or six feet, I ended up the same as before: burnt to a crisp. I also took issue with what, exactly, constituted a landing. The game treats every point of impact, even those where you’re touching only the vertical sides of the truck, as a non-death scenario. In some cases, this benefits the player, as the subsequent jump after grabbing onto the side tends to send you soaring even higher.
Think of it like Superman flinging himself upward using the strength of his arms.
