About the Game

Exert your energy to climb up, you looo~ser♡

Yahoo yahoo♡ I'm here to play with you♡

Let's take on the challenge of "ZAKO NO AHIRU" together♡

I heard it's an insanely tough game!

You have to control a stubborn little ducky and climb to the top of the mountain♡

I can't wait to see you struggle and suffer♡♡♡

♡How to play♡

It's super easy to operate!

Just make the little ducky spray water from its mouth with a "pew pew" sound♡

Then you can fly right over to the next platform~!

But... Nothing is always in plain sailing…

Because there's a chance of moving backward, it's actually pretty tough!!!

And you might mess up and fall off, forcing you to start all over again~!

Putting unnecessary pressure on someone is so lame, isn't it?

But I won't let any foolish mistakes slide, you know ♡

My sharp tongue is suuuper—powerful, so you better be prepared~

Giving up so easily is just pathetic!

You've got to hold on till the very end ♡♡♡

Amazing!!!

I knew you could clear it ♡♡♡

Are you looking at me? Since when???

I-I'm not happy for you or anything...!

♡Rescue UFO incoming!?♡

There are times when everyone just can't hold on any longer, right?

Someone will offer you incredibly strong support~♡

Bu~t~ then!

All your efforts and sense of achievement will vanish into vain~!

Even so, do you still want to press it? The for·bid·den but·ton♡
