Evaluation

Nitroglycerine! launched on November 9, 2025 and has been actively developed ever since. The developer, Avoidance, has maintained a steady cadence of updates: bug fix and feature patches followed the launch through December 2025 and January 2026. On February 11, 2026, they announced two new full-scale maps were in development. On April 27, 2026, they confirmed the maps were nearly finished and that the decision to stick with arcade-style physics would let them ship faster. On September 11, 2026 — today — those two new maps arrived in a major update, completing that announced content along with new achievements, audio improvements, visual upgrades, and a new "EXTRAS" section for additional modes. This gives the game two major content milestones after launch: the original release content and today's maps update. The store description describes the game as "a short but extendable adventure," which signals the developer's ongoing intent to grow the experience. No further specific content has been announced at this time, but the developer has demonstrated a clear pattern of returning with substantial updates and has not communicated that development is concluding.

Evidence

Major update ships two new full-scale maps continuing the main progression, plus new achievements, audio overhaul, visual improvements, and a new EXTRAS section for additional modes.

About this game

"Just one run and we’re holding a ticket out of this place. But there is a catch - not all of us will make it to the end”

Get ready for a real challenge!

Drive powerful heavy trucks, transport deadly cargo through treacherous and unpredictable route. It's not just a ride — it's a battle against the road, circumstances, and your own nerves.

Features:

🚛 Handle a big rig — feel the weight of every ton and every bump on the road.

☠️ Nitroglycerin! — carelessness can be costly. One wrong move and the cargo turns into a fireball. Beware of overheating, impacts and shaking.

🛤️ Rough road — narrow mountain trails, slippery bridges, bumpy roads and sudden landslides await anyone daring enough to hit the road.

🎧 Immersion — atmospheric sound design, interactive elements and realistic physics make every trip a tense cinematic experience. Feel like a real driver, stuck somewhere in destitution and despair, but with one last chance to break free.

⏱️ Quick sessions — they don't last long but demand maximum concentration. Perfect for those who appreciate a challenge and limited time.
