Truck Loader — Play Free Online

Truck Loader is a puzzle and brain game that plays in the browser with nothing to install. It is listed under Puzzle & Brain rather than action, so the pace is set by you: you work out what a level asks for, then carry it out with the controls, instead of reacting to a screen that keeps scrolling.

On a site built around Doodle Jump, it makes a good change of tempo. Doodle Jump is one endless climb where a single misjudged bounce ends the run. A puzzle game like this one rewards stopping to look at the whole level before you move, which suits a break between jump attempts.

How to play

On a computer, use the arrow keys or WASD to move and the mouse to aim and select. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead. The page does not list anything beyond that, so the best way to learn the details is to play the first level slowly and see what each input does.

The game is hosted as an HTML5 build, so a modern browser on a laptop, Chromebook or phone is enough. A keyboard and mouse give the most precise aiming and selecting.

Tips

• Spend the first level learning how movement and the mouse work together before you worry about finishing quickly.
• Look over the whole level before you start. In puzzle games, an early careless move is usually the thing that makes a level hard.
• Use the fullscreen button under the game for a larger view, which helps with precise aiming.
• If the game stalls, reload the page. It restarts cleanly.
