But due to lack of interest from publishers, the PC version never went beyond demo state and was not even finished by the developer unlike the other unreleased versions. The PC version was improved in several ways, including CG introductory cutscenes prior to the levels.

The PC MS-DOS version was projected by System 3 in late 1995 and demo versions were issued to magazines for release on cover disks, much like the Amiga version. It was finally released by a Sega-16 user who got a hold of a working prototype and dumped the ROM in October 2015. Prototypes of the game are known to exist, although none of them have been leaked into the public domain, making it a sought-after title in the scene of Mega Drive unreleased games.

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copies, like Spanish Hobby Consolas (#45, June 1995) and German GAMERS (August 1995 issue), but the game remained unpublished due to Ocean's diminishing support of the console and lack of interest from retailers.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 The Amiga version of Putty Squad, although left unpublished until December 2013, was completely developed in 1994 to the point of demo versions being issued to magazines for release on cover disks, and Amiga magazines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. Screenshot from the Amiga version, originally announced and developed in 1994, but ultimately published two decades later in 2013. Overall, while the original versions received positive reviews, the 2013 remake received mixed reception from critics. In November 2017, Super Putty Squad was released for Nintendo Switch. Ī remake was released in November 2013 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, Xbox Live Arcade, and Microsoft Windows.

In October 2015, the Mega Drive version was also released by a Sega-16 user who got a hold of a working prototype. In December 2013, the Amiga version was released as a Christmas gift on System 3's website. Sega Mega Drive and MS-DOS ports also existed, but were cancelled. It was originally developed for the Amiga 1200, but that version was not released until the end of 2013 prior to that date the SNES version was the only one to be released. Putty Squad is a 1994 video game developed by System 3 and published by Maximum Games and Ocean Software.
