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?

This game is absolutely awesome. The graphics are unique and beautiful, and the sound is quite good. I also really love that you have the option to play the classic version if you like!
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.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
