I was intrigued by the concept, but unfortunately Lair of the Clockwork God's marriage of 2D platformer and Point and click adventure game did not work for me. Taken on their own merit, neither the platforming, which suffers from poor controls and a lack of anything differentiating itself from thousands of other platformers, nor the adventuring, which is bog standard and filled with humor that misses more than it hits, are particularily enjoyabe.
Put together though they really bring out the worst of each other, by also adding the constant confusion and doubt on whether a particular problem is a platforming challenging you are just executing wrongly, or it's actually solved in the PnC part and you ve just wasted 15 minutes of your life trying to make this jump
