BH Trials

I absolutely love this game. I have always wondered how these sorts of machines are controlled in real life so when I saw Northernlion playing this, I bought it pretty much instantly. BH Trials is an obstacle course game, where you navigate a "backhoe loader", as I've learned these are called, through a path riddled with all manners of different obstacles. The only problem is, that the only way of movement is manipulating the loader and the backhoe arm. The wheels roll but that's about it, you can't actually drive or steer the machine in a normal fashion. Because of this, BH Trials might well be one of the highest skill-ceiling games of this type there is. Using a controller, I would say, is extremely recommended (keyboard/mouse is available of course, but I haven't tried it) if only because it actually mimicks the real-life controls of these machines, where the arm is manipulated with two joysticks. The game can be very hard and frustrating but I've never felt like it's due to the game being poorly made. It actually works incredibly well, the physics feel right and I have seen zero bugs. It just takes a while to get used to the controls, much like I bet it takes a long time to learn to manipulate these IRL. As for the graphics, I really like it. The game has a very clean, elegant look to it and runs well. What's really tragic though is that absolutely nobody seems to be playing the game. I've just finished the second chapter and in the later levels, I was pretty much alone on the leaderboards safe for one other guy who, infuriatingly, got better times than me but I'll beat him eventually. Anyway, if you feel like playing a novel, well made game that combines a backhoe sim and an obstacle course game, give this a go. I did and was not disappointed at all.

バックホーでトライアル 車輪の駆動・ブレーキの無いバックホーでちょっとした段差や坂道に悪戦苦闘することになる。 QWOPとか壺男のような、不便な操作を要求するゲームに分類してもいいのではないだろうか。 発想はイカれてるし、やらせようとしていることはなかなか面白い。 しかしながら、バックホーなのに爪がかかりすらしないカッチカチの地面の上を延々ともがき続ける事を強要される。 地面を掘れるようにしろ！までは言わないが、せめて爪を立てたら地面に食い込む程度の抵抗を生ませられるようにしてほしかった。 上記理由により操作感はかなり悪い。 4人ローカルマルチを4時間プレイして2ステージ目すらクリアできなかった。 スタート地点からすぐ先にゴールが見えているのにだ。 このゲームをプレイするのには相当な忍耐が要るだろう。 ローカルマルチをしたいなら忍耐のある変人が4人集まる必要がある。 酷評しておいてなんだが個人的には結構好き。 頼む、なんとかもうちょっとだけでいいからバケットと地面の抵抗をなんとかしてくれ！

Having a good time so far with the cooperative spider mode. A big challenge that takes patience and cooperation (for multiplayer). I recommend giving it a go especially if you like games like I am bread. Check out our struggle here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDaJHNAQ9jA

手残不要玩！手残不要玩！手残不要玩！ 暴躁老哥不要玩，这个游戏和stilt fella有异曲同工之妙！ 游戏是好游戏，可手残不配，所以我选择退款，告辞！

Really cool and original game!

Very difficult! Really fun and requires patience. Good level design that makes you really have to reach into your bag of tricks or learn new ones to handle new situations.

Original juego en el que tienes que llevar una excavadora desde un punto a otro. El problema, es que no puedes arrancar y listo, NO es un juego de conducción. Es una prueba de manejo de la pluma y la pala de una excavadora. Complicado como él solo, las pruebas en si son supersencillas. No busca que tengas que hacer aspavientos imposibles para llegar a un punto lejano, busca que hagas aspavientos simples pero imposibles para una mente que, como la mía, tiene que pensar dos veces como poner el volante del coche si voy a dar marcha atrás. Si quieres comprobar la dificultad del manejo de maquinaria pesada, este juego es para ti. Y si no, también.

Amazing game to put your psychomotor skills at their limits :P

This game feels like learning to walk after suffering a stroke. At first your movement will be uncontrolled and you will flail your limbs about the place helplessly. But soon you'll get the hang of it and instead stumble about like a drunken toddler. Great fun! There is quite a bit of content and extra challenge, as each level offers a collectible and a highscore list where you can try to beat the times of your quadriplegic fellows. Some levels are insanely hard and the highscore lists at later stages have very few entries. I really wish this game would be more popular, it would be well deserved.

Surprisingly difficult, yet fun. Would recommend
