About Duck Paradox:

Duck Paradox takes players on a journey through space-time, dimensions, and multiverses. Play as Dr. Paraducks, a savvy scientist in search of her beloved pet duck, Quark, lost in the throes of time thanks to a malfunctioning time machine. Armed with a trusty ray gun and a can-do quackitude, players will face dangerous worlds overloaded by corrupted imposters. Leap across perilous platforms, unleashing waves of bouncing bullets on swarms of feathered foes. Each ray gun blast offers a deadly risk: each miss ricochets off of walls, adding to Dr. Paraducks’ list of troubles. Aim and shoot strategically while dodging lethal hazards and pixelated pits of death.

Key features of Duck Paradox:
  • Am I Seeing Double?: Battle seemingly endless waves of corrupted versions of Dr. Paraducks’ pet duck.
     
  • Waddle Through Worlds!: Three distinct worlds and over 50 increasingly difficult levels that challenge you to find your duck and return back to the time machine.
     
  • Lock and Load: Gameplay offers unique challenges around precision platforming, strategic shooting, solving puzzles and earning upgrades.
     
  • Endurance Test: An endless Survival mode to test your skills through grueling rounds of bouncing bullets and big-beaked bosses.
     
  • Mystery Loadout: Select between randomized upgrades at the end of each level, experimenting with new builds with every reset.

Though we’re less than a month away from the release, PC gamers can already get their hands on a short snippet of the game via a free public demo available on Steam right now! Go on, give it a try—it’s pretty fun!

Duck Paradox will be quacking its way onto PC via Steam and GOG on October 9.
