The Sega Mega Drive version was reportedly completed in 1995 and reviewed in several European magazines which were sent full review copies, like Spanish Hobby Consolas (#45, June 1995) and German GAMERS (August 1995 issue), but the game remained unpublished due to Ocean's diminishing support of the console and lack of interest from retailers. This critical success, but lack of a published version, has made Putty Squad one of the most sought-after Amiga titles before its release in December 2013. CU Amiga awarded 94%, highlighting the fluid control and movement of Putty, balanced learning curve, presentation, and good use of the Amiga's AGA palette. Several enemies can also instantly kill Putty. Several instant-death situations were criticised: the bottom of the level is often difficult to distinguish, and falling through it kills Putty. Amiga Power awarded 91%, highlighting the varied level shapes, masterful animation, influence from the Mario video games (using a stunned enemy as a projectile weapon, secret doors, items hidden in blocks) and consistent game logic. The Amiga version of Putty Squad, although left unpublished until December 2013, was completely developed in 1994 to the point of demo versions being issued to magazines for release on cover disks, and Amiga magazines were also sent full review copies of Putty Squad, for which it received critical success.
This star power is reduced every time Putty is hit by an enemy. Putty can collect stars that increase his attack power: at first increasing the potency of his punch, but later allowing him to blow darts, electrocute enemies or throw bombs. The player's putty can stretch in a variety of ways: sidewards to cover ground faster, squash flat to absorb pick-up items, stretch upwards to climb, morph a fist to attack, or inflate to float upwards.
Putty Squad is a platform game in which the player controls an amorphous blue blob, tasked with rescuing imprisoned putties.
