About the Game

Follow the story of DUCK, a feathered protagonist whose serene pond life is jolted into disarray when a group of misfits abduct her friends and left her without the ability to fly. She does have the unique ability to decelerate time momentarily, allowing for precise jumps, dodges, and attacks, turning imminent failures into triumphant successes.

The story, told in 5 colors and well over 100 pixels per scanline, guides the player through 3 worlds and 20+ levels. Join DUCK in an adventure where every pixel counts!

Rescue your friends!


Your friends have been captured and are imprisoned within cages scattered throughout the game. Leap on top the cages to destroy them and set your friends free!

Timewarp


Save-up warp pellets and enable timewarp to dodge enemy attacks or surprise your enemies with a burst of rapid-fire bullets. You can find these pellets throughout the levels and enemies will usually drop some when they're destroyed.

Enemies


You'll encounter a diverse array of adversaries, each presenting unique challenges. There are some that soar through the skies, others that slither close to the ground and attack at a moments notice. And some simply.. walk.
