Cargo Hauler
Drive a small delivery truck over hills, potholes and wobbly bridges while crates, barrels, melons and fragile glass bounce in the back. Stop in the green zone to get paid, then upgrade.
Cargo Hauler is a side-view truck driving game about getting the load there in one piece. Every crate, barrel, melon, glass box and gold bar sits loose in the open truck bed and reacts to your driving. Accelerate too hard and things slide back, hit a pothole at speed and the top layer jumps into the air, or crest a hill too fast and watch a barrel roll off the back. Anything that falls off or smashes is taken straight out of your pay.
The ten delivery routes start on a gentle farm road and move on to river crossings over sagging plank bridges, rocky quarry tracks, long mountain climbs, rickety bridges with missing boards and a pothole highway. Loads grow from four crates to twelve-item stacks full of fragile glass. To finish you must stop inside the green zone at the depot. You are paid for what is left, plus a time bonus for beating par and a bonus for a perfect load. Spend your cash on a stronger engine, softer suspension, a taller tailgate and cargo straps.
This physics delivery game suits players who enjoy careful, skilful driving more than flat-out speed. Tip: lift off the gas before bumps and the tops of hills, and brake gently, because heavy braking throws the load against the cab.
How to play
Drive the truck from the farm depot to the delivery depot and stop inside the green zone. Cargo in the open bed slides and bounces as you drive; items that fall off the back or smash are lost along with their value. Tipping the truck over or losing the whole load ends the run. You are paid for delivered cargo plus a time bonus and a perfect-load bonus; spend the money on engine, suspension, tailgate and strap upgrades to unlock and clear harder routes.
