A platypus that can fly? Well, at least in this game it can and the object of the game is to make this platypus to fly as high as possible.
It starts on the ground, with full boost stamina and quickly changing jump speed. Press the space bar key on keyboard to launch and try to time it so that the launch will occur when the jump speed is full. Once in the air, you can move the platypus to the left and to the right by pressing the Left and Right arrow keys and you can boost its flying speed by pressing the Up arrow keys. You can tell whether the platypus is flying fast or slowing down by its distance from the bottom edge of the screen. If it is way up, it is flying fast and if it is near the bottom, it is slowing down.
Boosting the flying speed will reduce the boost stamina but it will be absolutely necessary to do so because once the platypus slow down enough and touch the bottom of the screen, it will start falling down and open it's chute, which means that is the maximum height that you have reached in that jump. During the flight, there will be food scattered around and if platypus can catch those food, it will eat it and restore some boost stamina for longer boost and higher altitude, so grab the food as fast as you can while keeping the platypus away from the bottom edge of the screen.
