After a few millenia of idly driving the stars recklessly about 'The Heavens' (*as, pretentiously, they had called their home*), God obstinately resumed again his little hobby of populating this little planet. "To Hell with it! Wherever that is.", he muttered, thoroughly sick of his idle project. They seemed interested in something in the water instead. Not once did either platypus even look at the mangosteen tree. If I forbid them, it'll be a real test!" His first living creations, Adam, a male platypus, and Eve, a female, he lowered to his garden, and sternly warned them NOT ever to eat of the 'Forbidden Fruit'. He planted the tree that produced "Forbidden Fruit", and tried out a few. God thus had made the platypus in his own image, and created what he thought of as 'The Garden of Eden' for them. Very verily! Although the project of populating this odd new planet that he'd made (*more as a sunshield, originally, as his rheumy eyes were growing weak*) was something he wished he hadn't started, he continued, obstinate as any platypus. But,, when he looked at it, he was pleased with the work that he had done. The very first living thing he made in his Senile-Epoch project was the platypus, and, verily, he was weary from the effort. *Having lived for 'all of eternity' probably was responsible*. You'll be blown away by the graphics but once the novelty of this has worn off you'll realize that Platypus plays like any other run-of-the-mill arcade shooter.Or perhaps He was just wanting to perplex the hell out of the Charles Darwins' of this world? In terms of options, you can adjust the sound and music volume, rotate the screen, and view high scores, but there's no facility for setting your own game controls. There is some stuff to collect and a few power-ups to improve your ship, which adds a little more life to this game. While the visuals are innovative and unique, unfortunately the gameplay is much the same as your average shooter, and after a while the process of blasting everything that slides across the screen becomes somewhat mundane. The high-octane sound effects are impressive too and really help to set your pulse racing. The animation is pretty slick too, and the splatting explosion effects are some of the best I've seen anywhere.
Because all of the elements were actually made from clay and digital captured, it makes for some truly stunning viewing. The graphics in Platypus are like none you'll have seen before.
