A remake of a classic platformer with elements of an adventure action game. The title character - a changeable shape, blue drop sets out to save his friends, who are in great danger. The production was carried out by the System 3 development team on the occasion of the company's 30th anniversary.
The stretchy blue blob is all set to go digital in high resolution in the critically acclaimed Putty Squad videogame. Cited by many gaming publications as one of the best games of its time, Putty Squad follows the story of unlikely hero Putty in an old-school platform-adventuring quest to look for his kidnapped friends.
Putty Squad also has redrawn graphics with three times the graphical fidelity, which means that Putty Squad looks just as stunning on the big screen in 1080p as it does on a handheld!
- One of retro gaming’s most-loved heroes returns!
- Critically acclaimed platform-adventure!
- Gorgeous 1080p graphics!
- Plays even better than it did originally!

Hardcore Gamer: 2 / 5 by Marcus Estrada
Much of Putty Squad's design decisions seemed steeped in the early '90s. Beyond actual platforming, you've got stars to collect as well as special stickers.
Destructoid: 5 / 10 by Chris Carter
You should only pick up Putty Squad if you're a fan of the original, and have an unhealthy affinity towards platformers. Everyone else need not apply unless the game drops to a rightful price of $10 or less.
Push Square: 4 / 10 by Mat Growcott
Putty Squad isn't a good game by modern standards. It's repetitive, confusing, dull, and a reminder that the medium has evolved. That doesn't mean that there isn't a niche that may still enjoy this, and if you happen to squeeze into that cross-section then there's plenty to sink your teeth into here. Everyone else looking to relive the past may be better off tackling one of the Blue Blur's adventures, though – and letting this blue blob fester in the pipes beneath the sink.
