Storm Truck Overview
Storm Truck was one of those games you'd find on a Flash portal in the late 2000s. It didn't have a complicated story or fancy graphics. You just got in a truck and drove. The screen was often filled with a dark sky and heavy rain, which gave the whole thing a simple, consistent mood. It was the kind of game you played for ten minutes between other tasks, a straightforward distraction from the early internet.
You control a heavy truck from a top-down perspective. The goal is to drive through a stormy landscape, collecting scattered gold and silver coins while avoiding obstacles like rocks and deep puddles. Moment to moment, you're constantly adjusting your speed and steering on slippery roads, using the arrow keys to accelerate, brake, and turn. The spacebar lets your truck jump, which is useful for clearing small barriers or correcting a bad landing. You can also activate a nitro boost for a short burst of speed. The game moves at a steady pace, but the physics feel weighty and a little unpredictable, making even simple turns require focus. It feels like wrestling with a large vehicle through bad weather, where a small mistake can send you spinning off the path.
