Geo-Duck

A curiously bizarre little game......however: the music is quite hypnotic! A fun, relaxing play.

I dont regret it but i do i dont know anymore wether to be happy or sad

I liked it

"Geo-Duck" is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. With Geo-Duck, the developers made an impressive attempt to create what could be considered one of the worst games on Steam. Unfortunately, with well over 120,000 games on the platform since Valve's disastrous "Steam Direct" open door policy, the competition for "awful" is extreme. This is a solid entry. It's not the worst on Steam, but it is garbage. The music is godawful procgen noise, bad enough it may cause your brain to haemorrhage to prevent further pain and suffering. The "art" in the game is just pictures stolen off the internet, which the developers choose to describe as "Pythonesque" in an attempt to directly offend all Python fans and insult Terry Gilliam. The gameplay is even worse... but then again, this crapheap was put together with, and I'm serious, don't laugh... Adobe Flash. What a joke. However, we can at least all have a chuckle at the thought someone genuinely felt it would be okay to publish this garbage on Steam. Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. The graphics here are particularly awful, so bad that it actually stands out as one of the worst looking games on Steam. Quite an accomplishment. It's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. On pricing, this is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 5 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. There's no financial cost up-front, but you'd still be spending your time and a little hard drive space on a product that's far from the best. There's thousands of better alternatives on Steam.

one of the best games of all time, why do people not play this????? this changed my life as a human being

The Best Game I ever played!!! GeoDuck>God Of War 4 GeoDuck>Red Dead Redemption 2 GeoDuck>The Last Of Us Part 2

[h1]変な魅力はある[/h1] 主人公が何なのかは良くわからないが、楽器を武器に進んでいく横スクロールアクションゲーム。初期の楽器は4種類から選べ、それぞれ弾道が違う。ハープは拡散、ピアノは放物線、バイオリンは直進、サックスは弾道操作ができる。素直なバイオリンが使いやすいとは思うものの、4ステージほど遊んだ段階でも上下方向に攻撃できないと厄介な部分もあり、自分のプレイスタイルで選ぶのが良いと思う。 本作はただの面クリアタイプのアクションゲームかと思いきや、ステージにいるキャラのお願い（おつかい）をクリアすることで楽器やアイテムが増えるという仕組みがある。ステージにアイテムが配置されているので、それを依頼主のところまで届ければOK。なんとなく使えるんだか使えないんだか良くわからないものだったのでどっちでもいいと思っているが、実はなにか重要な可能性もある。 気になるのはアクションゲームとして面白いと感じられなかったステージ構成。マップが表示されているので迷うことは無いと思うものの、ゴールまで進んでクリアする楽しさを感じなかった。恐らく構成の分かりづらさと、硬めの敵が沢山配置されている点がそう感じさせるのだと思う。攻撃すると音がなり、本当なのか冗談なのか分からないが、この音を出すことで無限の音楽が生まれるみたいなことがゲーム説明にかいてあるので、敵の硬さも考えた上のことなのかもしれない。あとレベルもあるし。…でも4ステージでお腹いっぱい。 ランダムに鳴る音に芸術性を感じる人はいいかも。アクションゲームとしてはオススメしない。49ステージ本当にあるか謎だが、もう少し遊びやすければいいなと思う。敵が硬くて多いだけというのはダルい。レベルはあがるが。
