Kirby’s Claymation Looks Real Enough To Touch

Kirby: Rainbow Curse has an art style not exactly common in games: one of clay. Everything in the game is made of it and it is animated as if it were claymation. And let me tell you, when you get a good look at the game up close, you’ll wonder if it really is CG after all.

Take the opening video, for example. Without knowing it was from a game, I’d assume that it was traditionally animated claymation.

But even outside of the pre-rendered cutscenes, the game still looks amazing — especially the sprites. Your reward for finding hidden treasure chests in each level of the game is often a character model of Kirby or one of the game’s enemies. You can then view these in the game’s gallery — which itself is set up to look like an art studio. Here you can see the models in all their detail. And, yes, they do look real enough to touch.
