Duck Game 2014

Is it still worth playing?

Landon Podbielski's two dimensional shooting and platforming game for Windows, played mainly in multiplayer, locally or online with up to eight other players. Everyone dies in one hit, and the last one standing wins the round. The controls are few: you move, pick up and throw weapons, fire, strafe, quack and ragdoll. Those weapons are where the depth is. The shotgun is an instant kill but slower to use than the handgun, and tossing a weapon can block an enemy. Matches are played in sets of a chosen number of rounds, and five suits short sessions. On your own, an arcade mode was added after launch, and its challenges earn tickets that unlock hats and modifiers such as moon gravity. One hit kills and simple controls still let a round be learned in seconds today, so it is quick to start.
