Cargo Climb is a physics truck driving game with a fuel twist. You haul a heavy delivery truck over endless mountain roads, and two things can end the run: an empty tank or a rollover. The tank drains as you drive, faster when you are on the gas, and the fuel cans dropped along the route top it back up. So it is a driving game and a fuel-run at the same time: keep the truck upright, keep it moving, and keep it fed.
It is a self-built game made by PlayClick, our own take on the physics driver. It is not affiliated with any other truck or driving game, and it uses our own vehicle and code. It runs right in your browser with no sign-up and no download, so it plays the same on a school Chromebook as it does at home.
How to play
Press gas to drive right over the mountain road, brake to slow down or back up. The truck is heavy, so it wallows on the bumps and takes a moment to get going. Distance is the score.
The fuel gauge at the top drains the whole time, a little when you coast and more when you are on the gas. When it hits zero, the run ends. Fuel cans sit on the road at intervals, and driving over one tops your tank back up, so a good run is a chain of cans.
On top of the fuel, it is still a balance game. Too much gas on a steep climb lifts the nose and can loop the truck onto its roof, which also ends the run. So you are managing throttle for grip, for balance, and for fuel all at once.
Controls
On a keyboard, press the Right arrow or D for gas, and the Left arrow or A to brake and reverse.
On the ground, gas drives you forward, brake slows you and backs you up. In the air off a big crest, gas rotates the truck backward and brake rotates it forward, so you can land level. Because the truck is heavy, give yourself a little more room to react than a light buggy would need.
On a phone or tablet, use the GAS button on the right and the BRAKE button on the left. There is nothing to install and no keyboard needed.
Fuel-run strategy
Coast where you can. On a downhill you barely need the gas, so let off and save fuel while gravity does the work. Save the throttle for the climbs where you actually need it.
Never skip a can. Even if your tank looks full, grabbing the next can keeps your buffer high for the long climb that might not have one. A missed can is fuel you cannot get back.
Read the road ahead. If you see a long climb coming, build a little speed on the flat before it so you can carry momentum up and spend less fuel fighting the grade. Momentum is free fuel.
Scoring and your best run
Your score is the distance you haul in meters, and each fuel can you grab adds points too, so a clean fuel-run scores on distance and pickups both. Your best is saved on your device so you can push it further each time.
The road gets steeper and rougher the farther you go, so late climbs cost more fuel and demand cleaner balance. That is where a long haul turns into a real test of throttle control.
Your best distance sits at the top of the screen the whole time, waiting to be beaten.
Questions and answers
What is Cargo Climb?
It is a free physics truck driving game where you haul a heavy truck over mountain roads while managing fuel. The run ends if you run out of fuel or flip onto your roof, and the score is how far you get. It is PlayClick's own game, not affiliated with any other truck or driving game.
How does the fuel work?
Your tank drains as you drive, faster when you are on the gas. Fuel cans on the road top it back up when you drive over them. If the tank hits zero, the run ends, so you chain the cans and coast the downhills to save fuel.
How do I control the truck?
Press the Right arrow or D for gas, and the Left arrow or A to brake and reverse. In the air, gas rotates the truck back and brake rotates it forward so you can land level. On a phone, use the GAS and BRAKE buttons.
Why do I keep running out of fuel?
Usually too much gas on the flats and downhills. Coast where gravity does the work and save the throttle for the climbs, and never skip a fuel can even when the tank looks full, so you have a buffer for the next long grade.
Is it free and does it work unblocked at school?
Yes. The game is free, needs no sign-up, and runs fully in your browser, so it plays the same on a school or work network as anywhere else. There is nothing to download. We are not a proxy, so if your network blocks this exact site we cannot get around that.
