"Duck Game" is a 2D action game created by Landon Podbielski and published by Adult Swim Games. It initially launched on Ouya in 2014, followed by a release on Microsoft Windows in 2015. In August 2017, the game became available on PlayStation 4, and in May 2019, it was released on Nintendo Switch. A significant update was introduced in November 2020 for PC, with a forthcoming release planned for the Switch.

"Duck Game" is a 2D video game centered around shooting and platforming mechanics. It offers a single-player arcade mode where players complete challenges to earn tickets, used to unlock in-game hats and modifiers (such as Moon gravity or explosive props). Additionally, the game supports local and online multiplayer accommodating up to four players. The fundamental concept of "Duck Game" is straightforward: players can be eliminated with a single hit, making the last surviving player the round winner. The game employs an uncomplicated control scheme encompassing basic movement controls, weapon pick-up/throw, weapon use, strafing, quacking, and ragdoll effects. Some advanced techniques and angled shots require precise timing and input combinations, akin to those in fighting games.

Gameplay

Development of "Duck Game" was led by Landon Podbielski based in Vancouver. Originally conceived as a 2D platformer inspired by James Pond 3, the inclusion of local multiplayer with weapons was suggested by a friend. After its initial release on Ouya in May 2014 with only multiplayer, single-player modes were added in November of the same year. The game arrived on Microsoft Windows on June 4, 2015, under Adult Swim Games' publishing. Adult Swim Games offered to publish "Duck Game" if online multiplayer was integrated. Overcoming networking challenges, Podbielski employed a peer-to-peer system with the support of Adult Swim Games. A PlayStation 4 version was announced at the 2015 PlayStation Experience and was released on August 22, 2017. The game was eventually released on Nintendo Switch on May 1, 2019.

Development

"Duck Game" received positive feedback from both critics and players alike, garnering an average Metacritic score of 82 based on six reviews. The multiplayer aspect of the game was widely praised for its appeal. Comparisons were drawn to successful 2D brawlers like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, TowerFall, and Samurai Gunn. The game's humor was appreciated, with its surrealism tapping into a delightful and intriguing space. 

However, the choice of name was criticized for being non-representative of the game's content. The game's learning curve garnered mixed opinions, with some finding the fast-paced multiplayer disorienting due to a lack of comprehensive tutorials. The multiplayer's energetic moments were commended, emphasizing quick reflexes and humorous mishaps in mastering the game's mechanics. Criticisms included inconsistent level design and a lackluster single-player experience. Since its launch, "Duck Game" has maintained a dedicated competitive scene, focusing on elevating skill levels through various exploits.
