About Claybound
You run and jump through a soft world that is slowly being taken over by hard, porous clay. Partway into the demo you start finding special lumps of soft clay that you can pull into ramps and bridges to cross a gap your own way, which is the idea behind the game's tagline about kneading your own path. Jumping is a tap or press, with a hold for a higher jump.
Read the full description
The demo covers Chapter One and comes with chapter select, a settings menu and a level editor with a workshop playtest mode. It needs WebGL, so a browser with hardware acceleration switched on, and on a phone it asks you to turn the screen sideways. It is for players who like gentle platformers with a crafting twist and are happy to try a demo while the full game is made.
