The player controls Clyde as he ventures through 35 side-scrolling levels. Clyde can jump, attack and mutate into other shapes using objects in the environment with cloning machines. Only one Clyde can exit a level, but clones can be evacuated using vents. The player can switch control between clones, and thus take on puzzles requiring more than one clone. Levers, drains and moving platforms need to be used in order to finish a level. Clones can be found scattered across a level, but can also be found by opening cages or cloning Clyde using cloning machines. Camera robots are the main enemies of the game, with Clyde having to destroy each one in order to exit the level, but flesh-eating plants and mines are also present in the game. Clyde re-spawns nearby upon death.

There are over 240 cloned Clydes and 156 Killer Kens to save or collect.

Cheats can be used to give Clyde different skins or proportions.

Multiplayer

There are online leaderboards and also there is a Versus Mode that is available over Split-Screen or Xbox Live. Two teams go against each other and try to destroy the other team's camera robots first.

Clyde Mutations

An important aspect of the game is mutation. Animals and objects can be placed with Clyde on a special cloning machine that combines the DNA of both, giving Clyde special abilities.

Ape-Clyde

By combining his DNA with an ape, Clyde can climb the ceiling using the pipes that extend out of it.

Chicken-Clyde

Clyde can combine his DNA with a chicken, granting him the ability to fly.

Frog-Clyde

Combining Clyde with a frog lets him jump higher and breathe under water.

Dynamite-Clyde

An explosive barrel can be combined with Clyde, giving him the ability to explode infinitely.

Rock-Clyde

Rock-Clyde is the result of Clyde combining himself with a rock, thus giving him the ability to slam the ground and withstand suction from drains.

Sheep-Clyde

Although sheep can be ridden, combining Clyde with a sheep grants Clyde faster speeds and higher jumping.

Mutant-Clyde

Clyde's ultimate form, Mutant-Clyde, is available from the Cheat screen after completing the game and gives Clyde abilities from every other mutated form except for Rock-Clyde.

Clyde Outfits
