Cluster Rush
The best thing about Cluster Rush is that it strikes the right mix between being simple and being chaotic. You can only sprint, jump, and sometimes slide or go slow, but you need to be really good at these things to get them right. Timing is key. A mistimed jump could send you flying into the air with no truck to rest on. Each level feels like an unpredictable obstacle course, and knowing how to navigate it becomes half of the pleasure.
The game Cluster Rush has a clean and simple art style, and it generally focuses on stark settings like deserts, snowy mountains, and futuristic roads to keep the player focused on the action. The trucks are white, the backgrounds are bright, and the pandemonium is obvious to see. That simplicity makes the game feel sharp, even when there are a lot of cars crashing on the screen.
