This is one of those games where you forget its existence for years then suddenly a part of your brain remembers it as a clay game and you search it up to come back for nostalgia.
Fantastic! Great work. I'm the person who made this game, a long time ago now. Your video has brought back some memories. :) When I originally wrote this (the first PC version which was released on CD), there was only keyboard/joypad control (no mouse) and "hard" difficulty was the only difficulty. This is playing the game as it was originally intended! The game was heavily influenced by 1942, which is where you get things like the semi-random distribution of small enemies and the emphasis on trying to go for 100% in each round. I tried to make it so there was always a little bit more you could do to score more points, so that you could score attack it, but until now I didn't think anybody had ever taken the game seriously enough to really go for a high score. There's seven digits for a reason :) It made me happy to see you holding on to your wingmen and X2 multiplier and get the big bonuses and 100%s. This was my first finished game and there's a lot I might have done differently; I didn't plan much and didn't have time to really fix anything after, so I just started at the start and worked my way to the end and it all just sort of came out however it came out. If something I added didn't work out so great I still kept it in but just didn't use it again (that's why there's no return to the minefield which everybody hates or the volcano which is so unfair). Thanks for overlooking the rough spots and for understanding what I was trying to get at. This has made my day.
Anthony Flack Thank you! Been playing this game since the original release and still trying it from time to time. Nice clay animations, the perfect selection of music and easy mechanics combined with the great challenge - it was my favorite game to play with my older brother back in the days. You did a wonderful job with Platypus, and I'm glad you liked the video :)
*Platypus* I haven’t heard that game for many years, probably almost 7 years now. I remembered enjoying this game, the music, and being frustrated so much. One of life’s greatest games in the past and sadly, it’s almost forgotten now. I just randomly remembered this game and now here I am, feeling nostalgic.
+ Awesome Music + Unique Graphics for a game like this (actually can't remember anything looking like this at all) + Fast Paced + Hard difficulty is HARD unlike some other games. As for the uploader, Max respect achieved. A game released in an era when games went right into our hearts.
All of your pain in Platypus in this comment: - Dont know how to move P2 Plane - Dying at the end of a level - Bomb in chapter 2 - Rocket ammo in a normal fight - gamma wave at boss wave - missing the electro ammo at a normal fight - stacking a powerup until you realize that it capped at 99 - missing the double shoot
My late grandmother knew how much her grandkids liked videogames, and she went out of her way to download a ton of weird flash and obscure early 2000’s games. This and Hamster Ball were our go to’s on the family computer at her house, albeit it was a pretty slow computer. I’m so glad I remembered this game exists, because it reminds me of late nights with my siblings and cousins working together to beat the hardest parts of this game. And it reminds me most of all of my grandma and the things she did to make our stay at her house a little more fun. Miss her very much. Thank you Anthony Flack for making my childhood really fun. Gonna buy this on steam now 20 years later to relive those moments when my grandma was still with me!
I was 4 years old and every morning I wanted to play this game and my parents didn't give me permission to play it until they've drank their coffee, then I could turn on my noisy PC and start playing it, even though I finished it!
Nostalgia overload! I remember playing this on rainy days in the early 2000s when I couldn't play outside. The clay graphics is something really unique that I have only seen done so well in this game. If anyone knows other video games (Old or newer) with clay style graphics that are good, let me know!
I played this game in my childhood ... I had vague memories to the point of believing that it was only a dream and that it did not exist, until I remembered its name, it was like reliving a moment from my childhood
The music of final 4th area, sounding desperate and marking the final mission, where you have to fight off whole invader on their own territory in desperate fight to save natural environment, with saucers flying in very high amplitude pattern with their seemingly harmless bullets faster than ever before. Also - level 4, area 3. The most satisfying moment of the whole game and hats off to the developer who thought of it. If you thought you were powerful with weapon attachments and rockets against bosses, the joy of being unstoppable with lasers and weapon attachments simply can't be described.
Oh my god. It's bring me back to my childhood in 2000s when I was 8 years old.I always remember a music in game, very classic. I have founded it, just I got it. Thank u very much!
Thank you so much for record this. Its gave me a lot of nostalgia, I remember when I was 5 y.o I always playing this game with my sister in 2P mode. We passed all the stages together especially for stage 4 that its super hard but hey we're done this game, and again thank you so much to record this :')
I keep dying to that boss the first time I made it to Level 3. And then Level 4’s boss is even worse. But then I beat em after memorizing the patterns.
I FINALLY FOUND IT MY CHILD HOOD GAME list of childhood games I found: -Air Assault -Dinner Dash -Luxor -Platypus -Gutterball 2 -Bejeweld 1-2 -Peggle (There's a few more that I'm looking for ik what they look like but I forgot the name.)
The nostalgia! I remember playing this as a kid on my aunt's computer shop back in 2011 - 2012! After that, i forgot what the game is called. and searched for, "2d spaceship clay pc game" and this came out! xD btw, nice gameplay! Brings back memories.
Aw man i remember this. I cant pass level one because its too hard. Its already on easy mode but it still hard! I always play this game on my relative's pc everytime i go there with my family. Man its been so long since i played this game. Good times. May even livestream this game...
Use the mouse to hover over the video progress bar and you'll see that as you move the left the game background in the little peak window also moves at the same pace.
Thanks Windah Basudara. I really forgot the title of the game and you play this game really bring back memories. It is really hard game at my 9 or 10 years old, but the MUSIC really lingering in my head like all the time. Maybe thats it from me. Maybe i should try Platypus 2.

Hey,I love the green star. It destroys enemy bullets
And that one yellow submarine just pulled an uno reverse card on me
And what that Volcano eruption in Zone 3 Area 2? That's the infamous no-death run killer.
The real pain for me is the volcano on zone 3🥲

That final weapon was way too OP lol. That's probably why they desigend the level in a way so that the player cannot use it against the final boss.
@@TakatoEndouexcept you can, just wait long enough and the game will keep giving you Lightning
I usually more prefer the blue star than red star because I think the blue star is better against small enemies.
Ahhh, I missed this game since I PLAYED THIS GAME! PLS COME BACK ;-; Oh the Nostalgia, the childhood game, Thank this video It made my day 😌
you can buy it on steam. that's a great price
Back where when life was good. No politics, no drama, just all the fun and games.
The music of final 4th area, sounding desperate and marking the final mission, where you have to fight off whole invader on their own territory in desperate fight to save natural environment, with saucers flying in very high amplitude pattern with their seemingly harmless bullets faster than ever before.

I remember when me and my brother were kids and we were getting destroyed by the hard difficulty.
God i wish i could go back in time...
Exact same situation with my brother, time flies by and you don't believe until It happens...damn
Oh my god. It's bring me back to my childhood in 2000s when I was 8 years old.I always remember a music in game, very classic. I have founded it, just I got it. Thank u very much!

I still remember 5 years ago when I was a kid, I stuck at level 1. now, I stuck at level 4 cause of the boss.
I really love the soundtrack to this game. I even use to dance to it in A goofy fashion.
Got stuck on level 3 on this one. The boss was too hard for younger me.
Let me guess. The volcano?
I keep dying to that boss the first time I made it to Level 3. And then Level 4’s boss is even worse. But then I beat em after memorizing the patterns.
17:41 i had a dream with a Saturn that close, I was trying to remember why that Saturn is so familiar, apparently it's from this game.
This just made me realize all those dreams I had of impossibly close celestial objects in the sky might've partially been due to this game...
