Enemies:

There are two basic kinds of enemies in Platypus, primary and secondary. Primary enemies are large, and take many shots to destroy. Secondary enemies are small ships that take only one or two shots to kill. At the end of each level, you will receive bonus points based on how many of each are destroyed.

Powerups:

When you destroy certain formations of secondary enemies, you will have the chance to acquire powerups for your ship. You collect these powerups by maneuvering your ship over a star that has spawned when the formation was destroyed. There are five different kinds of powerups:

• Wide Shot (yellow star): This will shot a spread pattern of bullets.
• Autofire (blue star): You shoot bullets at a very fast rate.
• Sonic Pulse (green star): You shoot a wide and destructive energy burst.
• Rockets (red star): You will launch very powerful missiles.
• Lightning (cyan star): Shoot devastating lightning bolts at your enemies.

On occasion, you can also shoot the stars before collecting them, which can change their color and give you different powerups. When you have a powerup, there will be a small counter in the upper-left corner of the screen. When this counter reaches zero, your powerup will be gone- so make sure you get the most from it!
