Platypus is a very unique side-scrolling shooter in the App Store. It has a very distinct clay look and 3D appearance. It includes many power-ups and different enemies. It one of the best side-scrolling shooters in the App Store.
Graphics:
The game has layered backgrounds to make it seem 3D. Some parts of the background are are animated, like the waterfall. There are also other things like billboards (with text) and blimps in the background.
The vehicles seem 3D also. When you go up and down, your ship rotates. Some of the enemies even do spins.
The graphics in this game look great. It has it own unique style.
Gameplay:
The game offer single player and multiplayer over Wi-Fi.
The game also offers 2 different control methods, touch and tilt. I find touch very hard to use because your finger covers the screen. Tilt works very well. Tilt up, down, left, and right to move the ship.
The game automaticly fires.
The game has primary and secondary targets. You get scored by the average of what percentage of each you destroy. There are lots of diffent types enemies to destroy.
In the game, you can earn a power-up by collecting a star. Each color star is a different powerup. You can change the star color by shooting it. Some of the power-ups allow you to shoot faster, allow you to shoot rockets, and release a sonic boom instead of bullets.
The game is very fun. I definitely recommend this game to side-scrolling shooter fans.
