Trucker’s Delight: Episode One (iPhone)
A bit of a departure for Mobigame, Trucker’s Delight is a bizarre, faintly troubling and fantastically entertaining mix of Chase HQ and MotherHEAT. (Look, when an Xbox indie game becomes a reference, it must be good – go download MotorHEAT right now.)
So, right, you’re a trucker and you espy a lovely young lady in a sports car. So you decide, as you do, to chase her down the road and ram into her car as much as possible… which somehow earns you money. You tilt to steer your truck down the undulating landscape and use bizarre power ups, trying to ram the sports car, disable pesky bikers and police cars and get to the next checkpoint before your time runs out.
The pixel art style of the game is absolutely lovely, it runs at a fair old clip and it’s very, very moreish.
There are some very, very minor niggles – it can be hard to see ahead of you going uphill, power-ups always come in the same order, very occasionally there doesn’t seem to be a way to avoid a collision – but I don’t hesitate to recommend it at the current price of £1.79. And if you find the boobs distasteful then, well, I’m sure Apple will demand their removal sooner or later.
