‘Platypus’ Side-Scroller Shooter Lands in App Store

Astraware’s port of side-scrolling shooter Platypus [App Store] just landed in the App Store.

Based on the cult Mac classic from Idigicon, Platypus is a fast, fun side-scrolling arcade shooter with a unique difference – every tree, cloud, ship, and enemy was created from modelling clay – so explosions don’t bang, they splat!

Quite literally, every element of the game is said to be “made from clay and photographed using a digital camera." The game offers both accelerometer and touch-based controls.

Astraware has recently posted an updated video of gameplay that looks fun:
