All of its visuals were created using photographed clay. Help the peaceful land of Mungola defend itself against the attacking hordes of Collosatropolis. All that stands between you and complete destruction is an antique aircraft called Platypus!

The game includes two player simultaneous action.

Clay Day

By NateKwee on Sun, 2009-04-12 22:02
Pros: Just plain fun. Cooperative is a blast. Great visual style.
Cons: Some levels can get a little frustrating.
In this game you (and possibly a friend) are in command of the ship that I believe is the titular Platypus. For some reason, you ship bears no resemblence to the egg-laying aquatic mammal and looks a...

By bjmh777 on Sun, 2008-08-03 21:08
Pros: very easy to pick up the controls. Original graphics, the clay effect. Two player mode and very addictive
Cons: Quite repetitive, very simple idea so it has been done before and the music isn't superb.

Loads of Fun!

By benthebob on Thu, 2008-07-31 05:51
Pros: Clay animation adds something unique to the environments. Good gameplay and many features to explore. Many different levels. 2 player option.
Cons: The music can get repetitious and annoying at times but it can be turned off.
Platypus in my opinion is a game everyone should at least play once. It offers old-school style gaming(think space invaders) with a new feel. The clay animation adds a really unique look to this game...
