Platypus is one of the most unique looking games ever created.

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!

A huge variety of clay-animated enemies oppose you, but you will have loads of powerups at your disposal. Blast your way through four jaw-dropping worlds of incredible shooter action!

The game includes two player simultaneous action.

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.

The first thing that struck me was the game's name. Platypus. Would this action game involve the actual animal? Would I be playing as him or her? The name alone left me wanting to know what this game...

Help/Support: 
Pros: Crazy artwork, fitting music, and an okay challenge. No annoying HUD.
Cons: Character development would be nice, but it's not necessary. Didn't expect the background to have hazards, but it's a good touch.
