Trade around the lush landscapes of Idaho

The Legend of Bear-Truck Trucker is a hilarious driving simulation video game wherein you have to buy and sell goods around Idaho, USA. Developed by Captain Games, this is a 2D physics-based pixelated indie game that combines challenging stacking gameplay and classic trading and stocks mechanics.

As a project after the developer’s hit indie game, Enviro-Bear 2000, The Legend of Bear-Truck Trucker brings back the hilarity of a bear driving a vehicle. You get to do so in side-scroller mode this time and must also grab items to haul them off to the next store on the map.

Physics is your companion

In The Legend of Bear-Truck Trucker, you play as a bear riding a red pick-up truck. Your paw is stretched out by default, allowing you to move it freely with your mouse. The goal is to buy items based on what the nearest stores need, travel to them while making sure that your pile doesn’t fall off your truck, and sell them off to make a profit.

For the controls, you get a tutorial for driving your truck. You need to accelerate, shift gears, brake, and park—even while inside the stores. This is where the tutorial stops, though, so you’re left with figuring out how grabbing works and how to use the map. It’s the kind of game that doesn’t really spoonfeed you and lets you poke and prod the interface at your own pace.

You’ll eventually grasp that you plan your route on the map and buy only the necessary items first. The trading system is challenging enough—unlike in Townseek, days will pass as you move from place to place—but the real difficult aspect is the ragdoll physics of everything as you travel the roads. Thus, you can take on the daily challenges in order to see how far you can go with your driving and stacking skills.

Become the best bear trucker

Overall, The Legend of Bear-Truck Trucker is a great choice for any fans of the developer’s previous bear-related game and any fans of trading games. Not only is the gameplay difficult but fun to master, but it extends your playthrough time with numerous daily challenges. While it could use an expanded tutorial, it’s a well-designed game for most.
