Skullmonkeys (1998)
Genres:Platform
Themes:Action, Horror
Game modes:Single player
Story:Something has gone seriously wrong in Klayman's homeland -- Klogg, 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 Klogg 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.Show more

The charming and challenging platformer sequel to The Neverhood that's been sadly forgotten by time. The handmade claymation art style and fun music make it an audiovisual delight as well!
I had Skullmonkeys on PS1. I didn't know until years later. This was a follow up to a game called The Neverhood. Some of those people later came back to make Armikrog. Which I recently gotten in a ridiculously huge Christmas GOG purchase. I'm a sucker for clay animation as a whole. One of my absolute favorite shows was MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch. I also grew up with a few ClayFighter games as well. This had to been the single strangest PS1 game I had growing up. The game is so unexpected as well as some strangely interesting. You quickly become curious to see what else is in the game. Virtually Skullmonkeys is a game I can't compare to many games. I always remembered the clay animation within the cut scenes. The usage of audio as a whole really sells you on this game. This possibly the weirdest platformer of the 90s. In all honestly, if you're a fan of The Neverhood, clay animation or want something different. You better believe Skullmonkeys truly delivers. I actually do believe this game would sell well on here. People forget the 90s had some rather unique stuff that always stuck with people.
One of my favotire psx games. It was funny and weird at the same time. Clay animation was wonderful and the game was quite difficult. Back in those days I didn't know it was a sequel.
I just discovered the existence of this game quite recently from a Youtuber that I watch and now this game makes me really want it with its particular universe and especially with its artistic direction in stop motion (or modeling clay)

Rocket: Robot on WheelsFirst-time Nintendo 64 developer Sucker Punch Studios jumped onto the scene with a highly original 3D platformer. The design philosophy behind the title is simple -- rather than build the platformer around the main character, the software house opted instead to focus on the interactivity of the 3D environments he travels. To that end, Rocket employs an advanced physics engine which allows the main character, a lovable unicycle-based robot named Rocket, to travel and experiment with colorful, platform-esque worlds with realistic gravity and inertia. Every object has its own set of lifelike attributes that must be "weighed" into consideration when solving puzzles.Open world Action Comedy
