Visualshock! Speedshock! Soundshock!
DekaDuck is a fast-paced, hand-drawn 2D action platformer starring a half-duck, half-robot bounty hunter with an attitude. Dash, shoot, and grab your way through six secret-packed planets, defeat towering bosses, and bring the galaxy's most wanted criminals to justice.
Story
While fleeing the Intergalactic Police, the brilliant and morally flexible Dr. Less, his daugther Petite and her pet duck Deka crash-land on an uncharted planet alongside the police ship that was chasing him. Stranded and desperate, he uses what's left of his daughter's pet duck and a whole lot of illegal tech to create DEKADUCK: a one-of-a-kind cybernetic marvel! With the new body, Deka is perfect for hunting bounties across the stars. Now DekaDuck works the criminal underworld from the inside, taking down targets while staying one step ahead of the very cops who'd love to decommission him.
Key Features
Fast, fluid combat
Chain together dashes, shots, and teleport strikes at breakneck speed. Every encounter rewards aggression and precision! Standing still is not an option.
Throw Hands
Dekaduck's detachable hand is your greatest weapon. Grab enemies out of the air, hurl them into each other, swing from platforms, snatch items from across the screen! If you can see it, you can probably grab it.
Use enemy abilities
Grabbing isn't just for throwing. Snag a bat to use it as a boomerang, latch onto a spring-loaded enemy to rocket-jump, or turn tiny duck-bots into walking bombs. Every enemy is a tool waiting to be exploited.
Powerful Weapons
Find new chips with powerful new tools and weapons that Dekaduck can equip, giving him extreme new abilities!
Six fully hand-drawn worlds
Blast off from Dr. Less' ship to explore six distinct planets, each packed with hidden areas, unique enemies, and a massive boss fight. Every frame is drawn by hand.
A cast of weirdos
Meet Aiko, the Intergalactic Police Captain who definitely has a crush on Dekaduck (awkward), and Ekos, a shady arms dealer who sells weapons in the most literal sense possible. The galaxy is full of strange friends and stranger enemies.
Killer soundtrack
Featuring an original score by Dominic Ninmark that drives every dash, grab, and boss showdown.
Note - No animals were harmed in the making of this game.
