About the Game

The United Kingdom, 1984.

The economy is rough. Times are hard. Even harder when you’re a duck.

But Quackley refuses to give in! It’s time to get out of bed and get gainfully employed! With his go-getter attitude, our hero lines up a series of job interviews to leap into the workforce. Only one problem…

...He’s late.

Quickly, Quackley! Is a fast-paced 2D precision platformer with a distinctly 80’s aesthetic. Harking back to the age of the ZX Spectrum, Quackley must jump, dash and stomp through each of the 48 levels in 13 seconds or less, or he’ll never get that bread.

Godspeed, little duck!
