While it is geared toward a younger audience, some of it is quite challenging making it fun for us too. Overall, it's outstanding and a very welcome addition for Linux gamers interested in high quality action platformers. Damn fun every time I get in one and there's plenty more silly power-ups to try too. My favourite power-up has to be the rocket you fly in, especially if you have bombs available to drop on the heads of your enemies. You come across various crates to blow up, which can contain food for health, or power-ups. The way you progress through each level is to suck up your red putty friends to save them, which I have to admit is quite funny. Keep inflating and you will float quicker, but inflate too much and - pop. For example: you can inflate yourself to get above enemies and drop on them, or to reach higher platforms. What makes Putty Squad enjoyable is the various abilities your little friend has. The explosives don't really seem violent at all, more colourful and silly than anything. It's a game suitable for all ages too, so certainly one to consider buying for your kids as well! It's not violent, apart from jumping up and down on enemies, a little kick or throwing a few explosives. It has some really varied features that I rather enjoyed messing with. Graphical issues in all versions aside, the gameplay is where Putty Squad truly shines. Still, a few issue like that did stick out, but it's a really minor issue. Our hero, Putty, can inflate, morph, stretch, punch and absorb, taking on ferocious enemies on his mission to rescue imprisoned putties. Look at the pipe, see it? To be clear, this isn't a port issue, it's an issue with the original game. Putty Squad is a no-holds-barred retro gaming experience brought to life for the modern gamer. The visuals are dated and sometimes a little on the poor side, to give you an example: Performance as expected is perfectly fine, since it's not really pushing the boat out in terms of visuals. What I've personally found with it is a high quality port from Virtual Programming and a surprisingly fun platformer. The Steam Controller worked beautifully once I had it set as a standard gamepad in Steam for the game. Just like the original game the player controls the blue character Putty through different levels where he has to free red characters that have been taken prisoner by. It has more modern graphics and sound, but still closely resembles the original game in overall design. To use a Steam Controller you will either need SC Controller, or to launch the game through Steam as a non-Steam game (great feature!). Putty Squad is a remake of the 1994 SNES game Putty Squad. Thankfully, it has gamepad support with lots of different gamepads supported out of the box, so you can kick back and relax from your sofa with this little gem. For me though, there's no such nostalgia. I get that for some of you here this will probably be pretty fun to have an updated version available for Linux. I never played Putty Squad when I was younger, so for me it's entirely new.
