About the Game

Ducking Grenades is an unconventional 2D side-scrolling action game in which grenades serve to traverse through the different levels, removing obstacles, defeating enemies that stand in your way and accomplish your goals!

Story

Play as General Ducky, who used to be a human mercenary, taking on dangerous missions with his crew - always fulfilling his missions and returning successfully. However, on his last mission, General Ducky was exposed to a new weapon technology which rapidly disintegrates the human body. General Ducky's crew acted quickly in transferring his consciousness into an artificial body in order to save him. Uncertain if this operation was successful, the crew disbanded and left their leader in a safe place to recover.

General Ducky's new body is not compatible with traditional arms and legs, therefore it is equipped with a remote-controlled, rotating mechanical arm which can spawn grenades, providing the main impulse for its movement. It can also fire a rechargeable boost to accelerate, decelerate and tweak the trajectory as needed!

It is now up to YOU to reassemble your crew and chase down the evil General Goosey and his minions to bring peace to the universe and destroy this dangerous new weapon technology!
