Everything here is clay

The world is soft, and the soft parts are yours.

Soft-body clay

Every blob squishes, stretches and sags under your fingers — real soft-body physics you can pinch, pull and smear.

Shape your own way

No fixed solutions. Drag clay into bridges over spikes, pack it into cracked floors, or pile it into ramps.

Bouncy clay

Green clay never sets — it springs. Drop onto it to launch sky-high and snatch coins mid-air.

Moving kiln-stone

Shuttles and lifts grind along their tracks. Time your jumps, ride the platforms, mind the spikes below.

Valley gusts

In Gust Valley the wind is a mechanic: tailwinds carry your jumps, headwinds fight every stride. Watch the streaks and leaves.

Daily Challenge

One featured diorama every day — open to everyone, even levels you have not unlocked. Beat it, sign the board.

Clay that sets

Leave shaped clay in the sun and it firms up — knead it again and it goes soft. The world remembers your hands.

A sunbaked world

Eight hand-moulded dioramas of warm terracotta, fingerprint smudges included.

Three moves. Infinite routes.

01

Run & jump

A / D or arrow keys to knead-run. Space to hop. On mobile, use the on-screen pad.

02

Grab the clay

Press and drag anywhere on an orange blob. Stretch it across gaps — clay grips where it touches.

03

Let it set, cross it

Released clay firms up in the sun (watch the meter). Then run across your creation.

Tip: stretched clay sags. Anchor both ends on solid ground, then let the sun do the rest. Green clay never sets — it bounces. Watch the wind streaks in Gust Valley. Keep an eye out for spinning sun coins — finish a level to bank them — and try the Daily Challenge on the title screen for a fresh diorama every day.
