This game is wild! I played this game for a short time as a kid and always remembered the few things i saw because they where so memorable.
The movement in this game feels really good once you are adjusted to the controlls (or rather, once you adjust to the N64 controller again). Beeing able to dash in 4 different directions is really cool and grabbing, shaking and throwing stuff feels super satasfying. Crabbing stuff is pretty much the core mechanic of the game and its kinda crazy how many diffrent things you do with it. They really made sure to use such a simple idea to its fullest potenial.
The things you do in this game are so varied, you never know what the next level may bring and most of the time its something completly new and exciting. From basic "get to the end" to more open objectiv based levels to incredible boss fights. Finding lost children, running trough a literal warzone, taking part in the "olympic games", playing dodgeball against a cat! You never know whats next and that makes it super fun to play and hard to stop, because you always want to find out what the next level might be. Its as much about travelling trough the levels as it is about solving little puzzles and figuring out what to do with the things given in any level.
One of my favorite things about the game is the super unique vibe the game has. Bright and colorfull environments with happy music contrasted by the creppy looking clancers with their faces that look like they are in constant agony. Even the blocks and almost all items in the game have this face and it moves and makes you feel weird looking at it. It all comes together to this really unique atomsphere and i really enjoy that.
The only negativ thing i could say about the game is that some of the later boss fights could be a little bit more clear about what exactly you are supposed to do. But other than that i really liked this game.
I'm really happy i finaly played this game and can recommend everyone to do the same.
