Fresh from his adventures in The Neverhood studio's first platforming title (The Neverhood), Klayman is back for an all-new adventure. The original featured a traditional 2D side-scrolling adventure filled with free roaming platforms and lots of clay animation -- this pseudo-sequel offers the same sort of action with certain modifications.

Something has gone seriously wrong in Klayman's homeland -- Kogg, an evil megalomaniac, wants to destroy the land and basically rule over anything and everyone. Because the task can get difficult at times, he has enlisted the service of fearsome ape-like creatures, Skullmonkeys, to aid in the destruction of planet Idznak. Needless to say, it is up to the player to stop Kogg and his devious plans.

Much like The Neverhood, Skullmonkeys is a 2D platformer built entirely of Claymation characters, enemies, and environments. Throughout the game's seven worlds spanning ninety levels, the basic objective of each is to destroy as many Skullmonkeys as possible. Destroying the simians can be done one of two ways: firing projectile weapons or butt-bouncing off their heads.

Like all titles in the genre, the main focus is on the platforming element. Each level is chock full of free-roaming platforms, instant death traps and pits, and the requirement of precision jumping. One false move can halt Klayman's mission forever, so be careful!

There are also various pickup items to utilize. When one hundred Orange Balls are collected, Klayman will earn an extra life. Ma Birds can be utilized as checkpoints, the Halo will protect the protagonist from any damage, and the Super Willie will collect every pickup item on the screen.

The planet of Idznak is counting on you -- will you be able to overcome the beastly Skullmonkeys and destroy Kogg before it's too late?
