Cloning Clyde

Cloning Clyde is a side-scrolling platform game. The player has the ability to switch between multiple Clyde clones at any time in order to progress/solve increasingly complex puzzles. The puzzles mainly involve dropping rocks on switches, getting clones to stand on switches, or getting clones to stand in front of rockets and being fired across the level.

Each level begins with the player in control of a single Clyde. As they progress through the level, more Clydes can be found inside crates or created using cloning machines. Each of these clones can then be switched to and controlled by the player. Before the exit of a level can be reached, all surveillance robots must be destroyed, which opens up blocked grates leading to the exit.

Clyde is an unintelligent character who willingly signs up for genetic experiments to be carried out on him for $20. Due to a malfunction in a cloning machine, Clyde is cloned hundreds of times. The facility goes into lock-down in order to prevent him from escaping. Clyde must gather together his clones and work with them to fight their way out of the laboratory.

The Xbox 360 version received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
