Platypus vs Pulstar

In Platypus you pilot the legendary F‑27 fighter to defend Mungola from the sprawling industrial behemoth of Collosatropolis. The game delivers frantic side‑scrolling action with vibrant sci‑fi visuals and a tongue‑in‑cheek storyline. Available on PC and Xbox 360, Platypus offers both single‑player missions and multiplayer dogfights, letting you blast through waves of enemies solo or with friends in chaotic co‑op chaos.

Pulstar is a classic side‑scrolling shooter set in a devastated Solar System, where you pilot the Dino246 to fend off alien invaders. The game blends arcade action with strategic weapon management, featuring a dual‑half power bar for charged blasts and rapid fire. The visuals rely on pre‑rendered 3D graphics and cinematic cut‑scenes, while co‑operative play lets two pilots tackle the hostile waves together. Collect power‑ups, use the trailing orb to deflect enemy fire, and survive the relentless onslaught.
