Tricky Truck is the game for players who love challenging, physics based gameplay that pits them against the most treacherous roads man has to offer. It's the perfect game for those who enjoy getting behind the wheel of a vehicle and tackling everything that comes their way. With multiple difficulty levels, hundreds of different levels to choose from and even the option to use rally cars, no other game challenges driving skills quite like this one.

The controls are simple. By using the arrow keys, you can drive forward and backwards. The space bar is the brake, and the CTRL key is the hand brake. You can use the left and right arrow keys to steer your vehicle, but beware of gaps in the road or narrow mountain paths that you must navigate to reach your destination. You can even control the camera with the ADWS keys, and use E and Q to zoom in and out. A fixed camera angle is available by pressing F8, and if you enter hard mode, you see everything from the driver's seat, changing the skill level tremendously. F1 through F6 controls the views, and the ENTER key lets you switch back to previous commands.

For those times when you're at the top of your game, there are complete replays available to let you watch all the action over and over again, as well as share it all with your friends. Tricky Truck is available not only the computer, but also on iPhone and iPad. There are also two different versions. The free version offers plenty of options, but only one vehicle, while the premium option allows you to play up to nine different vehicles. You can play around with hanging bridges, cargo missions and take advantage of a number of other complex options. This is perfect for giving the game a test drive until you decide whether you want to purchase it or not.

The game requires Windows Vista to play, but is only 17.7 megabytes in size, so it barely takes up any memory. Make sure you've got at least a 2GHz CPU as well as 2 GB of RAM to run the game in its entirety. New versions are constantly being released, so keep an eye out for any new ones that may come available.

There is even a forum where you can make suggestions to the developer and speak with other fans of the game. Make sure to visit it and share your best tips for advancing through the most difficult levels.
