Clay-animated shoot ’em up Platypus Reclayed releases September 18

Platypus Reclayed revives the classic 2002 claymation shooter for the next-generation. A demo is up now and it’s releasing September 18th. I absolutely love everything about clay animation, and I have to say this looks great if you love a good shoot ’em up.

This reimagining of the cult classic arcade shooter Platypus takes everything that was great about the original game and updates it with a huge host of new features for the definitive edition of Platypus. Led by the original creator, Anthony Flack along with a new team it’s not just a simple remaster. They’ve completed revamped it from scratch with new models and artwork, updated gameplay and new content.

“As the industry has shifted towards more complex, feature-rich, lengthier games, we wanted to go in the other direction: providing a one-button shmup that’s fun from the moment you pick it up!” said Anthony Flack, Lead Games Designer at Claymatic Games. “You don’t need to learn any complicated combos or absorb a bookish tutorial teaching how you can have fun later. Instead, you get right to the action. Platypus Reclayed is designed to be something you pick up for 20 minutes before bed or on your lunch break, but you enjoy every second of it!”
