Numskull Games has announced a brand new 3D platformer coming this winter Clive ‘N’ Wrench. Clive ‘N’ Wrench is being developed by Dinosaur Bytes Studio and is a throwback to genre classics like Spyro the Dragon and Jak & Daxter. The game will release on PC and Nintendo Switch this winter.
Clive ‘N’ Wrench features its own duo of characters which includes a rabbit named Clive and a monkey named Wrench. The duo finds themselves jumping, rolling, hovering and spinning their way through a whole host of wacky worlds. Lead developer Rob Wass said:
I’m really excited to be able to bring Clive ‘N’ Wrench to the platform I easily get the most requests for, not only that but on a cartridge too. It’s a childhood dream come true, in more ways than one.
Martin Defries, managing director at Numskull Games also commented:
Clive ‘N’ Wrench perfectly captures that 90s-esque 3D platformer fun that gamers have been desiring in recent years. Taking inspiration from some of the classics of that genre, with plenty of original ideas of its own, we couldn’t be happier to work alongside Rob Wass to bring his exceptional work to the limelight after 9 years in development.”
Key features of Clive ‘N’ Wrench include:
- Time-bending story! – Clive, a rabbit, and Wrench, the literal monkey on his back, adventure through time and space in a 1950s fridge, all on a quest to undo Clive’s cousin Nancy’s mistake and ultimately thwart the tyrannical Dr. Daucus. A colourful cast of characters, both from the modern day and throughout time, await you on your journey!
- Space-defying locations! – Clive ‘N’ Wrench features 11 distinct levels as well as boss battles and a hub world. Your adventure will take your all the way from the prehistoric ice age in Iceceratops, through ancient Egypt in Tempus Tombs, and even all the way through to the old west in The Chimp, The Bag, and the Bunny.
- Tight moveset! – A platformer is only as strong as its moveset, which is why a huge amount of time and effort has been put into both the feel and animation of each move in Clive and Wrench’s diverse moveset. Tailored for both experienced players and newcomers alike, every action you perform will feel tight and precise.
- A work of passion! – Mostly developed solely by creator and lead developer Rob Wass in his spare time since 2011, Clive ‘N’ Wrench is a real work of passion from a genuine fan of the genre – we can’t wait for you to play it this year!
A Steam page for the game is now live and you can add the game to your wishlist right now. It will release on Steam and Nintendo Switch this winter. A confirmed release date will be announced later.
