Duck and the Land of Flightless Birds

Maybe this is weirdly specific, but the mixture of art and music reminded me a lot of Drawn to Life for the DS, in the best way. I teared up a little actually. Really charming little shmup platformer with immaculate vibes. Really fun all the way through. I'm going to kill the cloud dudes with a hammer

If you fancy a return to a simpler time when you would get 2 feet away from your TV and lose yourself in a platformer for a while until mom yelled that dinner was ready, this is the game for you. Wonderful art and music, you can tell that this was a labor of love. ALSO this game has a 'Cool S' in the starting town so you know it's good.

Pretty fun game, challenging platformer with cute art.

Well worth the wait! It's a simple, cozy, and fun game! The visuals and music are fantastic! Congrats to the whole team for getting it done!

Seems great the story is super wacky and I love the art style, it's so cute!! I love the frustrating gameplay too, some of the enemy placement is fiendish! It gives me super nostalgic vibes for games I played on the amiga in the early 90s. I wish it had an option to fall through a platform like you get from most platformers, but that would probably make traversing some sections too easy. I did have significant issues with getting it to play on the correct monitor, and feel like having more display options would really help this as if I took it off of full screen it was then so small I couldn't see it. This could totally be a me issue though. Also the game didn't seem to recognise that I was using a controller even though it took the inputs no problem, this did result in anytime new functions were unlocked I had to trial and error with button pressing to discover how to do the new thing. I do hope there is not going to be anything more complex coming down the line that I cannot discover in this manner. All in all really fun and I can't wait to play more.

This game was wonderful to play from start to finish. The story was simple yet engaging; The leveling system rewarded you for keeping on your toes, while not being overly punishing; and the music and visuals were fantastic! It is also not a super long game that won't ask for too much of your time; while also having various secrets, cheats, and challenges to keep you engaged if you want to play for longer! My only complaint for the game are that music seemed overly loud by default and I had to lower them in settings, so that is something to keep in mind. With all that being said, I would highly recommend playing it.

Duck and the Land of Flightless Birds absolutely charmed the feathers off me. This game is PURE joy from start to finish. Every level feels handcrafted with so much creativity and playful energy that I constantly had a grin on my face. The platforming is tight, the secrets are rewarding (maybe??), and the level design keeps throwing new surprises at you like a cartoon gremlin with unlimited ideas. And the CHARACTERS. I would protect every single one of these weird little goobers with my life. They’re funny and bursting with personality in every interaction. Even those birds that back their booties up on me as they explode - but to be fair, I brought those butt bombs on myself lol. The art style deserves a standing ovation. It looks like a living Saturday morning cartoon exploded into a video game in the best possible way. The colors are vibrant, the animations are wonderfully executed, and every area has its own identity and charm. I genuinely haven’t experienced this much whimsy and color in a platformer since playing Yoshi's Island as a kid. And THE MUSIC. Oh my goodness. The soundtrack is incredible — all these brassy melodies, jaunty whistles, and chaotic musical flourishes that make every level and boss fight feel like glorious Looney Tunes madness. Sometimes I felt like Tweety Bird was about to run across the screen being chased by Sylvester. This game has heart, humor, style, and that magical sense of indie FUN that so many modern games forget to encapsulate for their players. Big recommend. Buy it today. DO IT!

Super cute indie platformer. You're going to love it!

Really cute & charming game! Lovely soundtrack & visuals, and the surprising amount of depth & varied use-cases to the different attacks (shoutouts to leaf airburst tech). Lots of fun panic moments. Really loved the objects you can "talk to / inspect" jrpg style and the little quests you can go on in some of the areas. Very sweet finale.

This game makes me feel like I'm a kid again playing my fav snes games like super mario world and megaman. Incredibly charming art style and soundtrack that you can tell a lot of hard work and love went into. Love the tug of war levelling system and all of the different weapons that change as you level up. Cool Duck is my goat 🐥
