Duck Game (2015) PC

Duck Game has become one of the main discoveries of the indie segment of steam: there is simply no way to find such a hilarious and driving game among other "pixel" things here.

Although it would seem — the mechanics are simple and not at all. Two-dimensional world, pixel graphics and ducks in the main role. The single–user mode exists here solely for familiarization - its passage allows you to better understand the management features and master several local guns. With management, you really have to sweat: the simplest things in Duck Game should be brought to automatism – there is no time to think about moves in the local hurricane of events. There are a lot of buttons: walking, jumping, squatting, quacking, weapon selection, shooting, the ability to pretend to be dead. Some of the actions have different properties depending on the circumstances. So, squatting on the run turns into a tackle, and the firing and weapon selection buttons are also used to pull out the grenade pin and throw it away, respectively. And only the quack button acts exclusively unambiguously.

The most interesting thing happens in multiplayer. The maximum online is 4 people. Small maps are worked out to the smallest detail and, in fact, represent scenarios. How do you like, for example, a tiny room with two grenades lying in the middle? Or a level full of portals, through which not only you pass, but also bullets? Or here is a bazooka–filled map that collapses from each shell hit by textures? 

The dynamics are frenzied, and therefore the events in Duck Game happen the most curious. It's easier than simple – to fly out of the map, face two bazookas, blow up on your own mine, lose control and fly away after a chainsaw – there are about a dozen extremely funny and simply idiotic situations in Duck Game in one fifteen-minute session.

In between contractions, we are offered to do our own wardrobe: put on a sombrero, try on a new hairstyle, put a Halloween pumpkin on our head. All these skins can be used in the game itself, so add to the above an extremely idiotic kind of players.

In general, Duck Game is really the best in its segment of "15-minute games". This is a hilarious, diverse and infinitely charismatic game that will always give
