Not everything is positive though, with a severe lack of storytelling being one of the lowlights. If all else fails, there’s an option to let the game auto-solve the majority of the problems at hand, hence getting stuck forevermore is almost impossible.

But in my heart, I know that One Hand Clapping could have become something so much better had it been a truly solid platformer in its own right.Upon arriving in the next area, and those that follow, the difficulty is cranked up substantially and certainly weeds out the noisemakers from the singers.
