STORY.
A group of ducklings finds a mysterious 100-in-1 cartridge that turns out to be a trap for an evil spirit who calls himself D.U.C.K. Now the ducklings will have to show all their gamer skills, or else the villain will fulfill the curse and make them characters in his games. Being two-dimensional and pixelated, constantly dying and being reborn, is an inenvitable fate!

  • Game Modes.
    In story mode, the ducklings will definitely get through all 100 games with your help, 5 ducklings are 5 main chapters.

  • The warm atmosphere of childhood.
    The spirit has locked the ducklings in a room in the house of a typical duckling of the time.
