Klaus Reviews
Both Klaus and the game are clones in search of higher sentience, and they both get there in the end.
One of the most inventive puzzle platformers in years thanks to the way it constantly defies expectations, but the story is nowhere near as interesting as the game design, and it goes on for far too long.
Klaus is a subversive, ingenious little puzzle platformer that shouldn't be missed by anyone who claims to be a fan of video games. The nods to common tropes in the medium serve as both a bit of cerebral humor and as the basis for some truly inspired bits of level design, and the presentation blends excellent sprite work with flashy film-inspired animation. Minor annoyances, like the touchpad feeling a bit cumbersome and some irritating audio design, shouldn't keep players away from this masterful little piece of gaming love.
Klaus is the best 2D platformer that I've played in a long time.
Klaus is yet another example of the great 2D platformers to emerge from the indie scene of the last 10 years. Its interesting story adorned with well-crafted visuals and fun and varied gameplay is the perfect match for the genre. Despite some problems with its pace, it is highly recommended if some of your favorite games of recent years include Braid, Limbo, Super Meat Boy and Thomas Was Alone.

KLAUS is an impressive puzzle platformer that constantly defies the player's expectations. Building up mechanics only to break them, La Cosa Entertainment has crafted one of the most interesting platformers in quite some time.
