A look at the Clockwillows™ Voy Quest adventure section

The controls are very simple: with the joystick or d-pad you move around the game world and menus, a button to attack, another for jump, action button (open treasure, talking, read the stone block and to sail/navigate the seas with the ship) and the last button to use the special attack (obtainable by defeating a boss) (1/2). There is a button to open the menu and another to pause the game when possible (2/2). (You can play using a keyboard, but I recommend using a controller to get the most out of the game)

Steam post imageVoy gains abilities upon defeating various bosses, there are three types:

• Strengthening: they offer passive bonuses

• Attack: which can be used to both defend and defeat certain enemies that resist more damage with a single hit or the levels or to damage bosses even when they are not exhausted

• Defence: to defend yourself from an enemy attack or from traps present in

  (both the attack and defense ones need time to recharge, in case of defeat they are restored)

Adventure section (from left to right):

• Health to recharge one damage taken

• This box can be destroyed with the punch button

• Bonus Occhy for access to the Bonus Level

• Use the platform to finish the level, you have to complete it and get out to unlock the next one and the various medals

• Checkpoint: in case you lose a life you will start again from the checkpoint reached

• Seal of Dr. Del: if occasionally the path is blocked you will have to defeat the enemies or destroy the dark crystal (and get points for your record score in the current medals)

Medals obtainable in the levels (from left to right):

• Is obtained by completing the level selected

• You get surpassing the record score of the selected level:

  Collect Occhy, Health and Coneta, defeat enemies and destroy boxes and crystal (their presence varies based on level) to increase your points and get the record score medal

• Is obtained by collecting all of the selected level objects included destroying the boxes and defeat enemies

• Is obtained by completing the selected level without damage:

  If a level there is a puzzle and you need help reading the stone block you don't get the medal of any damage suffered and you lose a heart. I suggest you try to solve it alone you will enjoy the most

• It is obtained by collecting the Bonus Occhy

  These medals are displayed with a particular item:

• Is obtained by collecting the heart fragments

• Is obtained by collecting the treasures

With good reflexes and learning enemy patterns you can avoid their attacks, if some levels are difficult at first (especially collecting medals), there are equippable costumes that help you collect medals with ease and reach specific objects that were previously unreachable (many of which are hidden in post-game secrets). I plan to add more accessibility features in the next update.

There are currently only two game languages (current version 1.1.2), three graphics settings, various audio settings, the maximum frame rate is 120 fps and damage settings. I'll be talking about future updates and new content soon. The next news item delves deeper into the story, the characters of the world and the exploratory sections of the games.
