How to Play

Four TruckStars compete to score the most points by gain and holding on to the Crown.  Whoever has the most points at the end of the round, wins!. The winning truck continues on to the next round, and losers will be replaced if there are other players in the queue

Using Powerups

• Mega Mushroom –  For a short time, grow large.  You’re immune to bombs, and other trucks can’t take the Crown from you.  
• Bomb – Blows other trucks out of the way, and knocks the Crown off any other truck nearby
• Lightning Bolt  – For a short time, get a speed boost, and you can destroy any truck by running into it

On Web:

2. Ensure that you are logged into your Mixer account from only one browser tab, and don’t jump in with another account on the same device.
3. Lag and High Latency:
   1. Most players enjoy “Faster Than Light” connection to TruckStars and report highly reactive and responsive controls
   2. We recommend playing TruckStars  with a 10Mb connection or higher – you can test your internet performance at http://www.speedtest.net/
   3. If you are connecting via WIFI and experiencing slow control responsiveness, please
      • Close any open tabs or applications that may be using bandwidth
      • If you’re on a wireless connection, try moving your device physically closer to your wireless router
      • Try connected your device directly to a Wired/Ethernet connection.
