This is an infamous threat that returns from the original Platypus game, the Lightning Squid aka the Trashcan. [/p][p][/p][p]This squid attacks with lightning, but Level Four equips you with the same firepower! It's useful for taking out the bulk of enemies thrown at you, and also lets you go head to head against this trashcan.[/p][p][/p][p]Clay artist Anthony Flack said: “It uses the same lightning as the player, making it one of the more brutal enemies in Platypus Reclayed”

Pollution chokes the air of Colosatropolis, skyscrapers dominate the skyline and parking is a nightmare.

The only way to deal with the city's expansion is to invade neighbouring Mungola - But Mungola isn't going down without a fight…

The legendary F-27 "Platypus” is the last line of defense. Despite their age, these antique aircrafts are the Mungolan people's last hope for freedom. [/p][h3]
Are you ready to take on the mighty Colosatropolan battle fleet?
