Trick Truck (Dreamcast)
A downloadable game
Trick Truck is inspired by a certain skateboarding game series you may have heard of, although it plays a bit differently.
You're driving the coolest and most agile box truck in town. Perform 180s, manuals, grinds, and 360s to drive your combo as high as you can and complete all objectives, but watch out! Bumping into a wall will reset your combo and you'll be left with nothing. You have to wait two seconds after your last trick for your combo to count (it also counts a combo in progress when the timer runs out).
Doing all objectives in a single run is extremely difficult and will require mastery of the controls.
Controls:
- Left and right on analogue stick/D-pad to turn
- Up and down on analogue stick/D-pad or triggers to tilt the truck forward or back
- A to jump
- B to switch between forward and reverse gear (there are no brakes on this truck!)
Tricks:
- Frontside 180
- Backside 180
- Frontside 360 (Difficult!)
- Backside 360 (Difficult!)
- Manual
- Nose Manual
- Fakey Manual
- Fakey Nose Manual
- 50-50 Grind
- Fakey 50-50 Grind
- 5-0 Grind
- Fakey 5-0 Grind
- Nosegrind
- Fakey Nosegrind
This game was made for the DreamDisc '24 Game Jam.
This game works on real Dreamcast hardware, and I can also confirm it works in the Flycast emulator.
New in v1.1:
- Added ability to use triggers to tilt truck backwards and forwards for manuals
- Truck is slightly smaller for easier driving
- Minor changes to collision
- Small UI changes
- Small changes to spark particles
- Added secret widescreen mode

Install instructions
This game is intended to be played on the Sega Dreamcast.
The .cdi file can be burned onto a CD, played with an optical drive emulator, or played with a serial port SD adapter. I have only tested the first method, so please let me know if you have any issues!
It can also be played in an emulator. I have confirmed it works in Flycast but have not tested other emulators.

Thanks for playing it! It's great to see it on a CRT!
Hell yeah brother. Awesome idea, the level was a little tight to maneuver around, but maybe that chaos is part of the fun, I got used to the crash and gear change sound effects quickly xD
Nicely done.
Thanks! I experimented with making the truck less bouncy, but it wasn't the same without you bouncing off a wall and losing a x10 combo.
