Platypus Reclayed Joins Steam Next Fest on June 9th-16th!
Super exciting news - Platypus Reclayed will be taking part in Steam Next Fest from June 9th to 16th with our first Steam playable demo!
Back in April, we showcased a small demo at the London Games Festival - it was so enthusiastically received that we thought we should create a completely new demo for the wider community.
Creator Anthony Flack has curated selected levels for you to play, complete with different difficulty options, perfect for both longtime fans and first-time flyers!
Here’s what you can expect from the demo:
🕹️ Casual arcade shooting mayhem
🍠 A sneak peek at the new enemies
🚀 New ships and weapons
🎶 Engrossing soundtrack with an irresistible retro vibe
🎨 Fully clay-animated visuals (fingerprints included)
🧡 Couch co-op
Mark your calendars and get ready for claylicious chaos! Platypus Reclayed launches in 2025 on PC and consoles but you can dive into the madness early on June 9th 2025.
Stay tuned - we’re cooking some super cool events to celebrate the demo, from live streams to Q&As with Anthony himself!

Design an Enemy Competition Winner
Heck this was hard. So hard, in fact, that Anthony took a little longer than predicted to pick a winner.
We watched him drink copious amounts of tea, pace up and down amongst mountains of clay, while reviewing every single amazing entry we’ve received. Apologies for the delay!
We were all really impressed with the submissions, we knew our community was super talented but we honestly didn’t expect such dedication, the level of detail and effort put into the designs is unbelievable.
So, who’s the winner? Find out from Anthony himself in this fantastic review of all the entries!
An Awesome Year Ahead!
Hey folks! Happy 2025, the Year of the Clay.
We at Claymatic Games are brimming with excitement for what this year has in store. It’s been an amazing journey so far and a real privilege to share it with our fantastic community. Buckle up, we’ve got some updates coming your way.
Back in November, we officially announced the return of the much-loved Platypus, remodelled, reimagined and enhanced. Over the next few months we will be revealing what’s new in Platypus Reclayed, from enemies to weapons and modes - stay tuned for sneak peeks, AMAs, dev diaries and tons of clay-based puns as we get closer to launch day. We promise, it’s closer than you might think!

MOAR!
We are humbled by the affection our community showed us, their support and creativity. We organised a few competitions and activities last year, we frankly didn’t expect such an overwhelming amount of dedication, and we’ll be exploring more ways to give our fans room to showcase their talents. We are cooking a few ideas but by all means get in touch on Discord or via the General Enquiries form if you have any suggestions.
