Tractor Express
Carry livestock over rocks and fallen logs in a trailer that objects to every one of them.
The track is the antagonist. Boulders, fallen logs and sudden dips sit between you and the next yard, and behind you is a trailer carrying animals that are not strapped down in any meaningful sense. Climb an obstacle too quickly and the trailer flips; climb it too slowly and you stall halfway up.
The tone is comic rather than serious, and the countryside setting is drawn in bright cartoon colours. Underneath it the handling model is honest — weight transfer matters, and the back of the vehicle really does get light when the front rides up on a rock.
Level length is short enough that a rollover costs you seconds rather than progress, which keeps the mood light and makes experimenting with a line worthwhile.
Controls
Arrow keys to drive, up to accelerate, down to brake and reverse.
How to Play
- Approach each obstacle square-on, not at an angle.
- Use small throttle bursts to climb rather than one long pull.
- Feather the brake on the way down so the trailer does not push you.
- Reach the yard with the trailer still upright.
Tips & Tricks
When the front wheels lift, let off completely for a beat. Holding the throttle at that moment is what turns a wheelie into a backflip, and the trailer will always finish the job you started.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the animals in any danger?
It is a cartoon. A rollover ends the attempt and restarts you at the last checkpoint; nothing worse happens on screen.
How long does one run of Tractor Express take?
Short — usually well under a minute of driving, which makes retrying cheap.
