About this gameFull description from Steam
Reclaimed. Remade. Reclayed. The Legendary Platypus Returns! 22 years after its first appearance, the iconic indie shoot ‘em up Platypus is coming back, better than ever! Led by the original creator Anthony Flack, alongside the talented Claymatic team, we're embarking on a journey to bring the beloved classic into the present. Platypus Reclayed isn't just a simple remaster—it's a complete revamp. Reprogrammed from scratch and updated for modern hardware, with all-new models and artwork photographed in 4k widescreen, featuring updated gameplay, new weapons and additional content. Get ready to dive into the heart-pounding action of this fast, frantic, and incredibly fun arcade-style shoot-em-up! Colossatropolis: A City in Chaos The once-thriving metropolis of Colossatropolis is now bursting at the seams. Towering skyscrapers dominate the skyline, while pollution chokes the air - and parking is a nightmare. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Colossatropolis sets its sights on neighbouring Mungola for expansion. But little do they know, Mungola isn't going down without a fight... The Legendary F-27 "Platypus" Takes Flight In the heart of Mungola, a single squadron of fighter planes stands as the last line of defence—the legendary F-27 "Platypus". Despite their age, these antique aircraft are the Mungolan people's last hope for freedom. Are you ready to pilot the Platypus and take on the mighty Colossatropolan battle fleet? The original handmade shooter! Features That Will Keep You Coming Back for More Two-Player Simultaneous Action: Team up with a friend for double the fun! Stunning Claymation Graphics: Experience the beauty of claymation like never before with all-new high definition artwork. Addictive, Exciting Gameplay: Get ready for heart-pounding action that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The original Platypus soundtrack is back with even more officially licensed remixes of classic 1980s game tunes from our friends at C64audio. Adjustable Difficulty Settings: Whether you're a novice or a seasoned pro, Platypus has a challenge for everyone. Perfect for the Entire Family: Share the joy of Platypus with loved ones of all ages! About Claymatic We are a small indie studio with a love for stop-motion animation. We have a passion for straightforward, honest games with uncomplicated and effective mechanics that deliver fun gameplay and can be played over and over without ever feeling old. Our community means everything to us; we play, bounce ideas and chat very openly about everything we do and work on. We are firm believers in open development and transparency.
