Our take on Handy
The defining setup is controlling a left hand with four fingers and flight, using it to handle ordinary objects and tasks.
What is Handy?
Handy is a game about controlling an independent left hand.
Use four fingers and the ability to fly to interact with objects and complete tasks, such as switching off an alarm clock, making toast, and disposing of secret documents. Each level can be completed in different ways, with physics-based gameplay that can produce unpredictable results. Handy is in early access and is not yet in its final form; the vendor says more content is planned before full release. Players can report bugs and share feedback about the current game and possible future additions.
How Handy plays
- 01Four-finger control
- The player controls four fingers on the left hand, without a thumb.
- 02Flight and interaction
- The hand can fly around and manipulate objects while working through tasks.
- 03Multiple level solutions
- Levels allow different approaches to completing their tasks.
- 04Physics-based play
- Object interactions follow physics and can lead to unexpected results.
