It's made of clay!

Platypus is one of those games that stands out from the crowd. Its a shoot-em-up and reminiscent of numerous old skool games, but this one is made of clay, like completely.

Author Anthony Flack has put together a brilliant shooter which looks fantastic. Not only that, but the gameplay is also well polished.

It's not got the biggest and best power-ups, but what it does, it does well. It also supports 2 players, something I wish more games did.

A word on the music - if you're retro chip music fans, you're in for a treat. Not for everyone though.

Three player action!

You may as well read my Platypus review because this is more of the same, if easier. It's perhaps not quite as refined as the original, but does offer more power-ups and brilliant three player action.

If you liked the first one, buy this now....

Adventures with fairies!

Some (men!) may be put off by the theme, it being magic and fairies, but don't be. With a sweet storyline, and compelling but eminently solvable puzzles, I found this quite addictive. It also makes a nice change to have a female lead character who isn't Lara Croft.

I would say that the game does seem a little on the short side, but I do get through games quickly so take that with a pinch of salt.

Help the Professor outwit the Bat-Bots and keep the entire family entertained with over 200 levels of problem-solving fun!

Cluck cluck

This is one of those great games that shouldn't work, but somehow it does. Basically Space Invaders, 1942, that sort of thing, but with chickens. Surprisingly addictive.

At first I honestly thought it would be a nasty cheap rip off, but it's beautifully done, and with a lot of humour.

Basically the aim is to save the earth from the death star, err, giant egg. You have to right your way through waves of evil chickens, and the game even features decent sized end of level bosses.

If there was ever a shoot-em-up that anyone could play, it's this.

Five stars for the comedic cut scenes too!
