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...
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?

When I was a kid, I thought hard mode on the original Platypus was easy, now.. playing on hard feels like a challenge I LOVE IT ...and nasty feels like I'm playing dodonpachi again wtf
The game of my childhood. Excellent! We need more “artisan” games like these in today’s world!
one of my favorites childhood games
Super fun! I have it on PC and Switch!
Good
If you didn't have a real Realonearcade account i am NOT arguing with you, sweaty 💅
Surpreendentemente bom! Recomendo.
wow
Recomendo, amei! Prós: Graficos massinha muito bem feitos e brilhantes Musica que embala bem e lembra das demos do Amiga Diversão e dificuldade equilibrados Contra: poucos power-ups e bem limitados no tempo (20 segundos no máximo), você não tem poder na maioria do tempo, sendo bastante fraco - o que torna o jogo um pouco cansativo, e por fim tedioso (fases longas e com poder limitadissimo) Mas de certa forma, substimei este jogo, mas em promoção não me arrependi, desejo que os produtores e empresa cresçam para termos mais jogos com este alto grau de qualidade
This is everything you could want out of a remake, still can't believe they remade a game released in 2004. The game itself is pretty short with only 5 levels but the real deal comes from all the extra content. Getting the achievements is a fun challenge and the extra content features the entirety of the original game from 2004 and a remake of the snow and desert level from the second game. Not to mention the custom content made by people which are all easily downloadable and toggleable. Not only does the game get a new coat of clay, it also adds a lot of new weapons, more playable ships, a few new enemies and a whole new level compared to the original plus a proper ending to this 21 year old journey. Genuinely not a single complaint, the only nitpicks I have are the song used in level 4 ruins the mysterious dreadful vibe of Collosatropolis and the Boss Theme 1 not being cropped like in the original, but you can choose what song plays anywhere, that's the level of customization they let you play with. My grandma used to play the original with me sitting in her lap when I was young, she would have been so happy to see this game. Thank you for not forgetting about it even after two decades.
