The first time I played this video game was in the 1990s, when I was four or five years old. Today, after twenty years, I finally made it past the big fish - only to be killed by a small caterpillar. You win again, game, but give me another twenty years and I'll get to level 3. Just you wait and see!
[h1]«Charlie the Duck»[/h1] 2D платформер с гейплеем в стиле «Марио». Геймплей: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1sXvspYGJU Ремейк игры для PC 1996 года, которая запускалась под MS-DOS. Управление на четырех кнопках (стрелки или WSAD). В игре 3 мира. В каждом есть скрытые области и боссы. В скрытые области можно попасть через порталы под водой. Чтобы их найти, придется нырять (нажимать стрелку вниз или «S», когда Чарли плавает). Прогресс сохраняется. Если умираете, то продолжаете игру с текущего уровня. Классический мариоподобный платформер со средним уровнем сложности, с секретами, с боссами и симпатичной уткой. Любителям жанра рекомендую.

Charlie the Duck is a remake of a 1996 side-scrolling platformer with the same name and developer. You can find a about over 10 minutes of gameplay with commentary here: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRu-iKdupII] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRu-iKdupII [/url] You control Charlie the Duck. The goal of the game is simple, progress through 3 Worlds, each make up of 3 stages and an additional boss stage. Movement is simply left and right, with a jump. Some of the water that Charlie can swim on are portals to hidden areas - pressing down will take you to an addition zone on the stage so you can collect additional coins and diamonds. It is prudent to check all the water parts as I found some stages include multiple hidden zones. You can play with keyboard or controller - but I found that sometimes while using the thumb stick to move on my xbox controller that Charlie would just keep walking in the direction I was pressing, even after releasing it. All I could do is put him up against an obstacle in the game and wait for it to stop. I have not had this problem with other games, so I do not believe it is an issue with my setup. Using the D-Pad on the controller to move seemed to avoid this problem. I thought sound effects were fine, as was the music. The graphics are a 16 bit style, and the background is layered to give visual depth. Gameplay wise, its an adequate platformer which (at my skill level) I found challenging enough. Thankfully when I died I could continue from the start of the world stage I reached. This was appreciated as I died A LOT on the 1st boss. But it does take away from the replayability of the game, I don't see myself playing it again after I have completed it. I was torn on recommending this game. Gameplay wise its fine, but I feel the price at release is too high given the amount of content in the game. It took me a bit over 30 minutes to complete the 1st world. If that continues for the other 2, then I will be finished in an hour and a half. For $6.99, that is a limited amount of play considering I don't feel there is much replayability. If you are interested, I recommend waiting for a sale before picking it up, at a cheaper price I would recommending if platformers is your preferred game. If you do decide to buy this game, just a tip for fighting the first boss (the fish). You need to jump on his eyes, closer to front of his body instead nearer to the spikes on his back to score a hit.
[b] Totally recommend this great game it's oldschool and very simples game, indle game good This game was make in the years 90s, i think have played it when i was child but i dont remember much it is just pure nostalgia and i recommend for everyone if someone want to play something different and simpler it is very good, just the soundtrack of game can not be amazing but you can disable it 9/10
Jogo super nostálgico de DOS que vinha naqueles cds da Digerati com 500 outros jogos em que você basicamente controla um pato que precisa passar por 3 mapas cada um com 3 fases e um chefão no final de cada. Ainda é o mesmo jogo de sempre, mas melhorado em vários aspectos. Prós -Como um plataformer faz o que cumpre -Bem desafiador -Vários segredos e areas escondidas -Trilha sonora -Achievements Contras -Sem modo janela -Pra quem não é acostumado com jogos do tipo pode ser bem frustante 7/10 Não é Mario, mas se você quiser um jogo de plataforma simples, direto e bom pra passar o tempo esse é um bom jogo.
I may not have a high play time on this game but I almost finished it when I played it a long time ago via Floppy disks. The game is a well-known classic where you have to go through a world of challenges like a duck, but playable for most ages of course. Check out a snippet of gameplay on the Steam Deck here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NagN8dSPx8
A modern release of an old MS-DOS classic. It's a pretty rudimentary platformer, but a really fun blast from the past.
Alot of fun with charming graphics and music, if you enjoy platformers this game is a must. With lots of secrects and hidden passages I had alot of fun exploring to earn achievements. I hope others have the opportunity to enjoy this game like I did.
The game from my childhood that I loved so much to play! I took it to school in the form of a floppy disk back in the day and installed it in all my computer class's PCs. While the teacher explained stuff me and my friends were constantly playing this game. So fun and with many hidden stuff to find! If you want some nostalgia in the form of side scrolling platform game, you should buy this cute af duck game! When I saw it on steam I had to automatically buy it!
This was my first game ever that I played on my first Windows 98 PC back when I was 6~8. After almost 20 years, I was able to pass the first boss. I AM recommending this.
