If Flappy Bird and Mario had a child, this would probably be the result. The movement in this game is very simple—you jump using the up arrow key, and the rest are for movement. This means that you could even play this game with a single hand if you wanted to. Well, the description’s Mario-like platformer, so it’s pretty easy to guess that the game consists of levels filled with obstacle courses that you must finish to advance. [/td] [/tr] [/table] [hr] [table][tr][td]🔷 Just three levels in, I understood that this was going to be a long day. There is no sense of a difficulty curve in this game. The first three levels are merely a tutorial, but oh boy, the moment you boot up the fourth level, there will be a launcher waiting to shoot bullets at you. Guess what, even a single hit is enough for a level restart. I have no problem with adding a challenging level like this because I was eventually able to finish it after a lot of tries. However, I would appreciate if they added easier levels in the beginning and slowly built up the difficulty. [/td] [/tr] [/table] [hr] [table][tr][td]🔶 It was interesting to see how they added new mechanics frequently, which made the experience quite engaging. I was honestly hooked to the game even though it was very rage-inducing, and that’s quite a rare sight. As you advance, you’ll get to see pills that will shrink your Duck, or even the Chrome Dino game itself. It’s a fun platformer, and I don’t think it has major flaws, except for a single one—it gets too challenging too quickly. [/td] [/tr] [/table] [hr] [table][tr][td]🔷 As of now, I am at level 24 if I recall correctly. It’s essentially a level that plays out exactly like Flappy Bird did; however, it’s very challenging to complete. There are saws in this segment, and often there’s just enough space for your duck to pass through. But then a crow will suddenly appear, giving you no time to react. I mean, I can’t really do anything about this, as it wasn’t even my fault. Sure, I would probably finish the level if I gave it 15 or 20 more tries, but that’s not the experience I am looking for. It got highly challenging by this point, and I just decided to quit the game instead of continuing. However, if you like games that really test your abilities, you would probably want to play on. [/td] [/tr] [/table] [hr] [h1][b]📷 Visuals and Audio:[/b][/h1] [table][tr][td]🔶 Before I begin talking about the visuals, I’d like to point out that there is no option to change key bindings for this game. Sure, it’s just jump and move, but I would have appreciated it if the game let me change the jump key to space since that’s the default key in pretty much every game out there. Secondly, I don’t know why the music was disabled by default when I started playing the game. Additionally, the option for sound effects is broken; if you disable them, they automatically turn on after you’ve died once. So yeah, the game is not polished in its current state. [/td] [/tr] [/table] [hr] [table][tr][td]🔷 Talking about the visual quality of the game, it’s not really something unique. It has basic cartoonish-themed visuals, but that doesn’t really detract from the overall experience. It’s low effort, but not low quality. The simplicity of the art style complements the straightforward, challenging nature of the gameplay. I'd say the same thing for the soundtrack of the game; it's not particularly memorable but it fits the game's atmosphere well enough.

[*]I liked how the backgrounds and environment was changing. [/list] [b]Cons-[/b] [list] [*]Still needs some fixes. [*]Difficulty curve isn’t managed at all. [*]Could get frustrating at times. [*]No key bindings. [/list] [hr] [h1][b]😇Honest Rating:[/b][/h1] [table][tr][td]🔶 For the casual gamer, this game could be a little too much. The difficulty ramps up quickly and can be quite frustrating. However, for hardcore platformer fans or people who love challenging games, it’s surely worth giving this game a try.

Worth about a buck. Good.

Reviewed in English first then translated into Ukrainian below. Спочатку рецензовано англійською мовою, а потім перекладено українською нижче. =ENGLISH= A really fun game, I want to rate it a 7.5/10. Mild spoilers below. Positives: - The game has lots of levels with many different mechanics, which keeps it interesting and unique. Level 13 in particular is quite charming, as well as a few others. - Good deal. Probably about an hour's worth of content for just £0.85 GDP (about ₴46 UAH at the moment). I haven't played it all yet, I'm on level 25 of 30. It's -80% on sale at the moment, the usual price of £4.29 GDP isn't too bad honestly. - The game reminds me of many early 2000s flash games like Red Ball, which I loved playing as a kid. Negatives: - Some of the mechanics are a bit fiddly. For example, the levels in a cave are a bit annoying as the guy who lights it up for you lags behind you, meaning you have to either walk really slowly or you'll end up walking into a spike you can't see. It'd be better if that guy was made to be brighter or move faster. - Some of the levels are quite long and tricky, the game could benefit from some kind of checkpoint system. - I'd say the game really gets good around level 10, I'm not too much of a fan of the first levels (the cave level I mentioned is in the first 10 levels). =УКРАЇНСЬКА= Дуже весела гра, я хочу оцінити її на 7,5/10. Легкі спойлери внизу. Позитиви: - У грі є багато рівнів з різними механіками, що робить її цікавою та унікальною. Рівень 13, зокрема, досить чарівний, як і деякі інші. - Гарна угода. Ймовірно, приблизно година вмісту всього за £0,85 ВВП (приблизно ₴46 грн на даний момент). Я ще не грав у все це, я на рівні 25 з 30. На даний момент це -80% у продажу, звичайна ціна 4,29 фунта стерлінгів ВВП, чесно кажучи, непогана. - Гра нагадує мені багато флеш-ігор початку 2000-х, наприклад Red Ball, у яку я любив грати в дитинстві. мінуси: - Деякі механіки трохи хитрі. Наприклад, рівні в печері трохи дратують, оскільки хлопець, який запалює її для вас, відстає від вас, тобто вам доведеться або йти дуже повільно, або ви в кінцевому підсумку потрапите в шип, якого ви не бачите. Було б краще, якби цей хлопець був спритнішим або рухався швидше. - Деякі рівні досить довгі та складні, грі може бути корисна якась система контрольних точок. - Я б сказав, що гра справді стає хорошою на рівні 10, я не дуже прихильник перших рівнів (рівень печери, про який я згадував, знаходиться на перших 10 рівнях).

马上快通关了，挺好玩的支持作者

Игра сделана довольно хорошо! Мне особо понравился визуальный стиль и внешний вид главного героя. Хочу обратить внимание на интересно проделанные уровни. С одной стороны распределены отсылки к довольно известным играм, к примеру отсылка к гугл - динозаврику, а с другой стороны - разработчик добился умеренной сложности проекта! Каждый уровень по немножку становится сложнее предыдущего что одновременно и подготавливает игрока к финалу, но и держит его в напряжении (в хорошем смысле). Касательно сложностей уровней - хотел бы отметить подогнаные тайминги и расстояние между блоками, что местами напомнило мне Geometry Dush - который не пройдешь на обум. Отличной идеей было - разработать смену механик и целей игры. От уничтожении первого босса, до спасения утят на втором боссе. От зеракальных уровней, до механики защиты щитом. В дополнение хотел бы пожелать автору, обязательно развивать этот проект, и не останавливаться на достигнутом. Как скромный геймер лично я - хотел бы в будущем увидеть больше уровней, сюжетную линию (А возможно и несколько сюжетных линий - которые будут разбиты на блоки или главы). Возможно мини магазинчик - внешнего вида героя. (А я хочу обратить внимание на то что есть уровни в которых разработана экономика игры! Что уже само по себе немаловажно и даёт возможность создать новые товары). Так же неплохо было бы что-то придумать с музыкальным оформлением игры. А в целом - однозначно рекомендую данную игру! Как для игры спокойными вечерами, так и повеселиться в компании друзей! Спасибо разработчику за созданную игру! The game is done quite well! I especially liked the visual style and the appearance of the main character. I want to pay attention to the interestingly made levels. On the one hand distributed references to quite famous games, for example, a reference to Google - dinosaur, and on the other hand - the developer has achieved a moderate complexity of the project! Each level becomes a little bit more difficult, which at the same time prepares the player for the final, but also keeps him in suspense (in a good way). Regarding the difficulty of the levels - I would like to note the adjusted timings and the distance between the blocks, which in some places reminded me of Geometry Dush - which you can't pass on your own. It was a great idea to develop changing mechanics and objectives for the game. From destroying the first boss, to saving the ducklings on the second boss. From zeracal levels, to the mechanics of shield defense. In addition, I would like to wish the author, be sure to develop this project, and do not stop there. As a humble gamer personally I - would like to see more levels, storyline in the future (And perhaps several storylines - which will be divided into blocks or chapters). Perhaps a mini store - the appearance of the hero. (And I want to draw attention to the fact that there are levels in which the economy of the game is developed! That in itself is important and gives the opportunity to create new goods). Also it would be nice to think of something with the music of the game. And in general - definitely recommend this game! As for playing in the quiet evenings, and have fun in the company of friends! Thanks to the developer for the game!

Good, interesting game. Level five is hard for me.

Je me permets de réaliser mon premier avis Steam pour cette Masterclass. Bien qu'au premier abord cela ressemble à un simple plateforme 2D où l'on joue un canard, cela cache à un jeu avec une intrigue profonde (indiqué via le nom des niveaux), un gameplay diversifié, fun mais aussi technique. Vous maîtriserez Perry l'Ornithorynque tel Néo dans la matrice afin d'esquiver roquettes, lasers mais aussi balles de canon du futur. Les bruitages nous permettent directement de savoir ce qui se passe et de vivre l'aventure dans la réalité : attention, vous allez vous retrouver à bouger la tête IRL pour esquiver des piques ! Des petits Easter Eggs sont là pour nous divertir et nous transporter dans divers univers et ça, ça fait tah plaisir. Les boss fights sont dignes des plus grand souls et les mécaniques de jumps pourrait faire transpirer les plus grand jeux mario et Géometry Dash (c'est tarpaing cho !) . Les retournements de situations sont dignes des plus grands films de Nolan ou Denis Villeneuve. Dédicace au niveau 20 et 25 (les vrais saurons). Donc sortez le Popcorn ! Le seul défaut que je pourrais ressortir de ce jeu est l'absence de musique qui permettrait d'être encore plus plongé dans l'ambiance de ce monde profond et recherché. Pour conclure, je n'aurais qu'une seule chose à dire : C A N A R D (En vrai, 1er degrés, pour 74 centimes en soldes, le jeu vaut le coup. Rapport fun / temps / prix très bon)

игра не стоит своих денег (максимум 100 р.) , саундтрек один и он надоедает, часть спрайтов не вписывается в общий стиль , уровни скучные

its an ok game, feels a little slow

Empezó como “solo otro plataformas retro”, pero terminó siendo una pequeña sorpresa. Con controles simples y niveles directos, es de esos juegos que no necesitan complicarse para ser entretenidos. Y vaya que lo logra. - Lo que me gustó El ritmo del juego: avanza suave al inicio y te permite disfrutar sin prisas. Los últimos niveles (25 al 30): aquí el juego se transforma; la dificultad sube y cada salto se siente importante. Son, sin duda, lo mejor del viaje. Su simpleza bien ejecutada: nada sobra, nada estorba. Un plataformas clásico sin adornos innecesarios. Ese encanto retro: el pixel art y la atmósfera ligera le dan personalidad propia. - Lo que no me convenció del todo Algunos niveles intermedios se sienten más de “relleno” que de desafío. Me hubiera gustado un par de mecánicas nuevas o enemigos distintos para darle más variedad. La aventura es corta… cuando te encariñas con el pato, ya está terminando. - ¿Ideal para quién? Jugadores que disfrutan plataformas clásicos sin complicaciones. Quienes quieren algo corto, directo y divertido para una tarde tranquila. Fans del pixel art y de los desafíos finales que no perdonan errores. - Mi veredicto como jugador Duck Adventures es un juego humilde, pero con corazón. Empieza dulce y termina picante, justo lo que un buen plataformas necesita. Si buscas una aventura corta, entretenida y con un final que pone a prueba tus reflejos, este patito se gana tu tiempo sin dudarlo. Un título pequeño… que deja una sonrisa grande.
