If that wasn't enough the iPad version includes a level editor to make and share your own levels, and it's a very easy to use interface. The inclusion of Game Center and the bolt collecting will have you replaying levels adding a lot of replay value. There are 128 levels at launch which is a huge load, and closely matches Angry Birds after all their updates. The sound effects and soundtrack fit right in line with the theme all the way to the gravelly voice of each truck before they launch and a guitar rift when competing a level. Most levels have blocks that can't be broken through that will really test your strategy, and there are quite a few with a lot of rubberized blocks. The explosions seem to rattle the screen, and each skull you destroy has a soul seemingly rip out of it in a flash of color the entire height of the screen. A tap engages the special abilities which offer great animations for each of the different trucks on top of the finely detailed cartoon artwork. In most levels there is a way to launch one truck, and destroy everything, and there is just so much action once you launch that truck. When you're launching your trucks you can enhance the power of your shot with the green meter below the ramp rather than just pull all the way back, and letting go. There are also different skull types with some taking a lot more damage to finally destroy. In Angry Birds you never know what score you need for three stars, but in Trucks and Skulls as your score racks up so does you’re standing on how many bolts you've scored.Įvery level is designed to allow for a different truck type to be the most successful, and there are a lot of truck types. Rather than three star each level is scored on a four bolt scale, and you can see your progress live in level. Once you start playing it's very hard to put back down, and you won't feel like you've completed a level until you get four bolts. Unlike Angry Birds you get a big bonus for clearing every single piece in a level so there is a new goal to shoot for. Some levels are loaded with TNT that makes massive explosions while others have lava pits where you try to knock every piece into the pits. The main factor is that there is true complete devastation of a level when you get done with it. On the surface the game seems just like Angry Birds which isn't a bad thing, but there are a lot of subtleties to make it great fun in its own right. Your goal is to break through the various structures to destroy all the skulls in a particular level. The game is super easy to pick up and start enjoying as you just pull back on the launching ramp, aim, and fire. Rather than seeing the cute angry birds and popping pigs you get to see heavy duty monster trucks and evil skulls. The game adds prototypical bad ass elements in a very light hearted way with great cartoon artwork. The theme is simply outstanding, and it really makes the game stand out in the crowded physics puzzle genre. The game includes Game Center for online high scores and achievements, and oh yeah did I mention explosions and lava? There are 128 levels across three episodes in Hell's Highway, The Haunted Wasteland, and Industrial Armageddon. There are special trucks that have special abilities with a tap including ones that have a speed burst, power flip, drop bombs, explode, and nose dive. The iPhone version release is imminent, and just pending Apple's approval which is at most a couple days away. There is an iPad and iPhone version, and currently only the iPad version is out. The game theme is similar to No Fear with some huge explosions and heavy metal. You launch monster trucks at various structures to try to destroy all the skulls in this physics puzzler. If you're a fan of Angry Birds, but want a less cute theme, then Trucks and Skulls might be right up your alley.
