How do I come up with an intro to an article on a game called Claymates? Actually, I don't really need to. I think this should do it...

Let's start with some back story... The scientist-looking guy in that picture, well he's a scientist. He comes up with some kind of devil-juice that can transform humans into animals. Then out of nowhere at all, some random tiki dude walks in, takes the fluid and throws it at the scientist's kid. Then the kid turns into a blue ball and the other two dummies just disappear.

Now this is where you actually start to play the game. I'm guessing you start out in the main character's yard. Why there are two random floating axes I will never know. Anyway, what you have to do here is just follow that red arrow into that sandbox-looking thing. It took me like an hour to figure that one out. Once you go through there you're in the first level. The first thing you come across is a purple ball. Touch it, and you become this:

A rat. A dumb rat. A rat that can bark at its enemies. Anyway, this level is incredibly easy. You just go underground where you find red gems and evil snails. The only bad thing is that when you get hit by an enemy, you revert back to a blue ball. Until you find another ball of clay, anyway. A red one will make you this:

Yes, a cat that has the power to defy all gravity and have a red gobstopper floating around its head. Like I said, the first level is incredibly simple. It just sucks that you lose your cat-ness upon defeating the level.

I think the picture says enough...

Well that's as far as I can seem to get. After beating the first level, you end up back in your yard. But there's something different about it. There's robots! Alright this starting to make me mad just thinking about the dumbness of this game.
