Platypus Review Summary

This is a great arcade style shooter. With the fun graphics and engaging music this is a game that will be fun for the whole family. The controls are simple to use for everyone. Platypus, while having almost nothing to do with the animal, will entertain you for hours as you shoot for the high score or getting all the bonuses.

Game Description

Blast Away in a World of Clay!

Platypus is a new arcade style shooter adapted for download. The graphics are superb and the gameplay is really, really fun.

Like most side-scrolling shooters, you man a little space craft that blasts alien ships. Along the way, you can shoot formations of ships that will yield 20 seconds worth of new weaponry. These powerup weapons are essential to your success and will help you blow those clay aliens to kingdom come.

I am not sure what it is exactly about Platypus that makes it so fun, but this game is hard to put down! The game is challenging, even on easy mode. Enemy bosses are well done and add to the classic feel of arcade shooter nostalgia. Just a well done game all around that is very fun to play.

platypus is a game with a great possibility to hooked on.
many years ago i first play this game; hours and hours i kept playing; the first level.

it’s based on an old concept :shoot the plains and avoid the attacks. but it’s very very original set up with clay figures; for young and old(older)

I got the free trial when I still had my doubts about the game. But I finished it in a day and thought “WOW, I really need to get this game!” So I am buying it today. SO WROTH it! but try out the free trial to see if you like, because it might not be your type of game. BUT i loved it. It will give anyone who likes it hours and hours and hours of fun!

43211 the best of platypus, Jun 07, 2009

by aniket

The platypus game series is really good. The first one was a good one where you had to shoot anything that moves but the second one is even better!!
In the second one not only is there stunning clay animation but it also gives you the feeling that you are flying a space craft.
not only that ...
the bosses at the end are also very difficult but fun

by Gordon (VA, USA)

I usually don’t rave about the style of a game.  Usually it is about whether the game is only about the premise, the controls, etc.  But this is an exception. This is very cool visually.
