How it feels

A frantic yet cheerful claymation shoot-'em-up where you pilot a duck-like fighter through bizarre, lovingly handcrafted landscapes.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly say Platypus II is worse than the original. Technical issues are a major complaint: audio plays from only one speaker, controller support is broken, and the game often runs poorly on modern PCs. The fifth world is described as weird, and levels feel long. A few players still enjoy its retro co-op charm.
