He can also jump and flatten completely to avoid enemies. He can stretch in all four main directions to reach objects or climb platforms. To complete a level, all other blobs must be freed, then the area can be exited through a door.Īs an amorphous blob, Putty has a number of abilities. The game plays like a side-scrolling platformer, but at a slower pace with more emphasis on exploration and puzzle elements to juggle different abilities to reach captured characters, even if there are many enemies present. Just like in the original game, the player controls the blue character Putty through different levels where he must free red characters who have been taken prisoner by the invading forces. It has more modern graphics and sound, but still closely resembles the original game in overall design. Putty Squad launches on PS4 via PlayStation Store this Friday, priced €19.99/£15.99.Putty Squad is a remake of the 1994 SNES game Putty Squad. We’ve put our heart and soul into making Putty Squad the definitive version of a classic game, and hope you enjoy playing it just as much as we have making it. We’re incredibly proud to be part of the launch of Sony’s next great console, and releasing Putty Squad after 20 years is an honour. ![]() ![]() We still had the original Super Putty data, and what better way to celebrate the arrival of the eighth generation than by giving away every graphical level of Super Putty for free as part of the Putty Squad season pass with day one pre-orders for PlayStation 4 at GAME stores in the UK. The most exciting development was still to come. We then added the sticker book – a way to earn downloadable content for free. We didn’t stop there, though, with the original music re-mastered for the modern gamer, but still retaining the charm of the original. We reworked everything from the original Amiga data files, redrawing sprites, re-working level backgrounds, balancing gameplay, and adding in new features not present in the original, such as challenge mode. And so, it remained, locked away for decades.Ī few years ago, we thought, “perhaps there’s a place for Putty again”, and since then, a swathe of brilliant and unique retro-styled indie games have been popping up, and all the while, we were happily working away on a re-imagining of Putty Squad. What came next was a crushing blow – retailers weren’t taking Amiga games anymore, and we had this brilliant game ready to go. We even had demos on cover mounted disks, with gamers playing over and over, setting high scores and sharing their stories of Putty’s adventures with their friends. Sadly, the 16 bit era on home computers came to an end very quickly, just as we were finishing Putty Squad. Super Putty was a huge success, and due to the huge support from gamers, we got to work immediately on a sequel that offered the same frenetic gameplay, but in a whole new setting for Putty’s next great adventure. Its cutting edge graphics and catchy soundtrack were well received, with the press awarding scores upwards of 90%. Way back in the early ’90s, we released Super Putty, a break from the traditional platform genre that we thought had become a little stale. ![]() For over 30 years, System 3 has created and published some really unique and exciting games, and we are proud of each and every release.
