Immaculate game. I did respect the platypus's wishes and stopped at 70 spins. 100/25

Erm actually the correct past tense participle of the word "blow" is "blew" 🤓

This gives so much peak 2000s flash game energy and it is quite charming for that. But why let me spin more than 70 times...

My esteemed Mr. Platypus,

It is my great pleasure to inform you that this experience was most delightful.
It brought me many hearty laughs, the visuals were absolutely splendid, and above all, I found the main character utterly magnificent, charismatic, profound, and, most importantly, a true connoisseur of the spin.

Alas, he did explode... but what a glorious journey it was while it lasted.

10/10

I humbly receive this letter with much joy, Mr. tasticc. 

I am simply overjoyed by your delight in the experience I have curated for you. The main character is (or was) indubitably fitting of your description. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

Spinningly,

CrimsonChallenger

As a professional platypus fan, I can confirm that the platypus did not survive the explosion.
