Moving and jumping are both pivotal components to Clippox Exodus’s gameplay, but attack, defense, and spell casting are also very important. The little fluffy mage isn’t exactly durable, so knowing when to use the shield or when a devastating spell is needed can make a huge difference. It sometimes takes a little trial and error to get the little guy from one end of the room to the other, but progress is saved automatically once a new room is entered anyway so it’s not much of a setback.
Clippox Exodus combines some pretty interesting elements to create something that’s more than a typical platformer. Being able to block an attack then follow up with a counter isn’t the most complex system out there, but it’s certainly effective. And using the spells is always entertaining, as they tend to completely decimate the closest enemy in one shot. The vaguely storybook visuals are also worth a mention as they’re pretty great all-around. Especially the illustrations for the story segments.
Clippox Exodus is one cute and with some lofty ambitions that just needs a little more tweaking. The inclusion of simple combat and magic make for a cool little platformer, but until the controls get an update or two it’s not something I’d consider essential.
