> A cozy platformer made of modelling clay, where you knead soft clay into new routes.

Claybound is a cozy 2.5D platformer by a solo developer in which every surface is modelling clay, and you can grab pieces of soft clay and reshape them into ramps and bridges to make your own way. A free demo plays in the browser on PC and on phones held sideways.

## 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.

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.

### Does Claybound work on a phone?

Yes. The developer lists PC and mobile browsers. On a phone the game asks you to turn the screen sideways, and you jump with a tap, holding for a higher jump.
