During Tuesday's Google Stadia Connect broadcast, the cloud gaming service announced several new "First On Stadia" partnerships. One example is the indie game One Hand Clapping, a musical 2D platformer from young studio Bad Dream Games, coming to Stadia in Early Access form. Better yet, One Hand Clapping is available on Stadia right now.
One Hand Clapping isn't just a typical 2D platformer, however. Players use their microphones to sing, whistle, or hum notes, with certain notes triggering platforms or puzzle mechanics -- or even being converted into platforms themselves. Through singing, players will progress in One Hand Clapping. And hopefully, they'll grow more confident in their voice, too.
The Early Access version of One Hand Clapping will grant players access to the first playable section of the game. Bad Dream Games hopes to collect feedback from early players that will help influence the game's direction going forward. Updates will be routinely provided, expanding Early Access, at a rate of around one every two months.
For the time being, Early Access for One Hand Clapping will be exclusively available through Google Stadia. To sweeten the deal, One Hand Clapping is even temporarily available at a discounted price. One Hand Clapping will eventually come to other storefronts, like Steam, but not until its exclusivity deal with Stadia wraps up.
One Hand Clapping is available in Early Access now on Stadia.
