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.
