It is less well reviewed than 94 percent of its genre. TeraBlaster (free, scores 25) outscores it, and so does Blackout Z: Slaughterhouse Edition ($4.99, scores 42). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
Prepare your right ear cause you gonna hear sounds from one speaker only! Rather mediocre sequel to once great indie shooter. Everything is somehow worse than in the first game except the visuals which stay the same. On top of that levels take forever to complete. To summarize just play original Platypus - not this one.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
I played both versions and I would say that this game lacks storyline or lore nor any context as what when or why is this happening, everything is like a whole fever dream especially World 5, not only it lacks story but the sounds are only heard by one side and I couldn't find a solution how to fix it until I realized it's the game issue Overall the gameplay is the same as part 1 but some features may be a bit janky...
The good the bad and the ugly Indeed well done as a game, very similar to previous, confused about the ending levels. give me the classic ships baby. ive last played platypus 1 when i was 9. meaning i cant truly compare but its similar to what i remember. loved every second playing this game again except the last part
