Door To Phantomile
''Klonoa: Door to Phantomile'' is a platform game developed and published by Namco for the PlayStation in 1997 and the first game in the ''Klonoa'' series.

The player controls Klonoa through a 2.5D perspective; the stages are rendered in three dimensions but the player moves along a 2D path. Klonoa can grab enemies and throw them as projectiles, or use them as a jump boost to navigate through the stages.
