![]() Every new world invites new techniques, new manoeuvres, ways to traverse new puzzles. Almost like unconsciously building your own song. Smoke and MirrorsĪs you progress onwards through each location, each new world learns and takes lessons from it’s last. For anyone who has ever wanted to learn, or even just gain more knowledge for own interest, this is a nice addition. If turned on, you are able to consistently follow the range of your own voice at different pitches and tones. Whether West End trained, or screaming cat untrained this game can be for anyone and is extremely fun even in your late twenties, making random noises in your living room.Īdditionally, One Hand Clapping invites an educational experience. It’s an excellent way for the player to feel like they are not competing with anyone or anything, that their voice is enough. The options will keep the example whilst the player will be able to match their own comfortable range by scrolling through the voice note alphabet. The option will demo examples of typical puzzle sounds. Everyone has a pitch and a tone that is natural to them, some people will sing in the note C, others in B. The game has the option to calibrate it’s settings to your own voice, becoming pitch perfect in your own individual way. One Hand Clapping does an incredible job of making you as the player feel comfortable to take risks, to be a bit braver. Now, admittedly, If I was reading this review, being the non-singer I am, the last two/three paragraphs sound incredibly daunting and far too technical. Flying levels within the game will depend on your timing, and how quickly you may be able to change pitch and tone to complete the soar through the sky. The fact that I could do this and something actually moves, left me feeling pretty powerful for a short time. Sidenote: Do you know how often throughout life I have been like ‘ahhhhhh’ to express something being raised, or moving? The answer is MANY. Lifting pillars and escalating yourself to reach higher area’s by having a higher pitch, and lowering platforms and pillars by lowering your pitch. When you enter your first biome location, the level focuses and depends on your pitch. Four larger areas to explore with unique puzzles and differences required of you based on your voice, and then 3 smaller areas, making up your ‘tutorial’ and two prologue type areas.Īs aforementioned, each world takes a different spectacle, not only visually, but mechanically too. Your voice raises you to a different level, or can pave the way to continue forward in your journey out of the city. ![]() This is a surreal experience, at first I felt almost a bit shocked at moving a box with my voice. The game is well versed in guiding you through what is expected of you, showing this slowly and allowing you to feel comfortable and ease into the levels. There is no ‘story’ or background given as such to your motivation for assuming your character, but you carry onwards likely assuming the dark shadowy figures are foes. The game itself is very cutesy, boasting pastels of both dark and light palettes. At first your voice illuminates up the jet black that has engulfed the city. Surrounding you are hostile eyes, and shadowy figures. ![]() One Hand Clapping is a 2D platformer that requires you to sing or hum into your microphone to explore the world around you, solve puzzles, and discover hidden treasures. With that in mind, I want to take you through my Journey of One Hand Clapping and how the game holds up when you are just as tone deaf as me. I wasn’t immediately put off even attempting to try it or avoid it, like I usually am with ANYTHING that involves singing (I am not the one to invite to Karaoke!). Something drew me to this game, I couldn’t tell you what it was. So having a singing game drop into Finger Guns HQ and Rossko (our resident singer/songwriter) isn’t the one to pick it up, is a bit out of the ordinary. I am perfectly aware that I sound like a cat on helium that has been stomped on, but I would much rather anyone else didn’t have to experience that. It’s more for your health than it is mine. If there is one thing you can know about me, it is that I do not sing. The world of One Hand Clapping is full of vibrant landscapes and mysterious characters portrayed through a warm, minimalist aesthetic that inspires self-expression without overwhelming the senses.First thing’s first I don’t sing. Find out just how far your voice can take you! This exceptionally unique game provides you the freedom to express yourself through its mechanics, helping you build confidence in both your singing voice and the voice within you.ĭon't worry about hitting the wrong notes, One Hand Clapping is all about taking risks and learning from your mistakes. One Hand Clapping is a 2D platformer that invites you to sing into your microphone to solve musical puzzles and discover the power of your voice as it changes the world.
