About the Game

Pondemonium is a charming 2D puzzle-platformer where three determined ducks waddle, jump, and quack their way through dangerous levels to restore their homeland. The once crystal-clear ponds have been poisoned, and only by recovering their own colored eggs can the ducks purify the waters and bring life back to the land.

Each duck has unique abilities that must be combined to outsmart traps, solve puzzles, and survive contraptions left behind by those who defiled the ponds. Success won’t just require creativity — it will demand puzzle-solving skills, precise timing, and precision.

From triggering pressure plates to open doors to dodging spinning saws and avoiding deadly traps, every stage tests both your brain and your platforming precision. Dash over spikes, glide through peril, smash through obstacles and guide each duck to recover their egg. Only when all eggs are claimed can the pond be restored, allowing your feathered friends to advance.

Perfect for fans of classic platformers, Pondemonium blends lighthearted humor with challenging gameplay, rewarding creative problem-solving and quick thinking.

Features

  • Play as three ducks, each with special abilities: Chuck Duck, Mac Mallard, and Peggy Pekin.

  • Collect each duck’s colored egg to purify poisoned ponds and complete each level.

  • Handcrafted levels full of hazards and environmental puzzles.

  • Physics-based contraptions including e.g. boulders, levers, switches, and trapdoors.

  • Deadly enemies like saws, vultures and other twisted machines left behind by the saboteurs.

  • Leaderboards for extra replayability. Do you have what it takes to be #1?

Can you outwit the traps, recover the eggs, and cleanse the poisoned ponds?
