How to play Cluster Rush
Cluster Rush is a first-person platform game played on moving trucks. Your immediate goal is to stay above the ground and reach the red gate. The convoy moves while you choose when to jump and how to steer.
Cluster Rush controls
These keys appear inside the game’s first-level instruction screen, checked on October 24, 2026.
| Action | Keyboard |
|---|---|
| Jump | Space or J |
| Cling and climb | Hold Space or J |
| Move left | Left arrow or A |
| Move right | Right arrow or D |
Click inside the player before using the keyboard. If Space scrolls the surrounding page, the game probably does not have keyboard focus yet.
Start the first level
- Wait for the Unity loader to finish. The game has its own loading display; the website cannot read its exact progress.
- Select LVL. 1 from the in-game menu. Be ready to jump as soon as the run begins.
- Use short, deliberate left and right inputs to aim for a truck roof. Watch where the next truck is going, rather than only where it is now.
- If you reach the side of a truck, hold the jump key to attempt a climb. This is a recovery technique, not a guarantee of a save.
Three habits for better runs
- Look one landing ahead. Pick your next roof before leaving your current truck.
- Keep a landing margin. A roof’s center leaves more room to correct than an edge.
- Practise the climb. A held jump behaves differently from repeatedly tapping. Learn the difference in the opening level.
Retry without reloading the whole game
After a failed run, use the circular retry icon inside the game. The website’s Reload button reloads the entire Unity page and ends the current run. Keep it for a stuck loader or a frozen game.
Fullscreen, sound and phones
Use Fullscreen for the browser’s fullscreen player, or Focus mode to hide the surrounding website. Use Exit focus mode to return. Sound is controlled by the speaker icon inside the game; the website does not pretend to control audio across the iframe.
This build is best with a desktop or laptop keyboard. The page adapts to a phone, but reliable touch-only movement and jumping have not been verified. A responsive page does not itself add touch controls to Unity.
