About
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!
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?

Great, game, amazing art style.
you can feel the love the devs had for this game, makes me incredibly happy that one of my favourite childhood games got the love it deserves. this is how you do a remake.
Gud game.
w remake
HELL YEAH! Just HELL YEAH! Modern hardware support. MOD SUPPORT! And its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good! worth every bit
My childhood game, so happy they remake it also its harder than i remembered
This is literally Platypus brought to modern software and hardware, led by the original developer, with EXTRA FREE content, and modding support. For 15 bucks. The only way this game could be better is if it did your taxes too.
I really liked the accessibility options for players who aren't very good at this genre - like me. The levels are great fun, the visuals are very, very good, and the gameplay is on point. The difficulty is fair overall—just don't try the hardest levels, I guess. It also comes with the original game, which has a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ difficulty curve and is incredibly unfair. Using Ctrl+F4 after you die lets you restart from the beginning of the current area instead of the entire level, which is a nice feature that makes the game much less stressful. Overall, about $5 very well spent.
really fun remaster of one of my childhood games!! its a bit harder than i remember it though O_o
It's a fantastic remake with beautiful stop animation / claymation art! If you are into this style of game, be sure to support artists and developers like this, buy it.
