The game system in Platypus Evolution is very simple: every 10 seconds, a box with a new platypus arrives. The unexpected mix of alpaca-like evolution, 2048 and incremental clicker games Doodle-like illustrations Five possible endings: find your destiny No platypus were harmed in the making of this game, only developers Play with mutations with a head start.
With your name suggestion and the stage it's for to submit your suggestion.Īfter sometime, he will pick the top four (for each I believe) and host a twitter vote with those four so we can choose our favorites from those. Its original scientific name Ornithorhynchus paradoxus, bird-snouted paradox, (now Ornithorhynchus anatinus) indicated the puzzled looks its 1798 discoverers wore when first looking at it.
