A hand-drawn 2D action platformer inspired by Mega Man and Mischief Makers has launched its Kickstarter campaign today. The campaign includes physical editions for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, alongside a playable Steam demo available now.
DekaDuck is an upcoming action platformer from Asteristic Game Studio where players control a half-duck, half-robot bounty hunter equipped with a detachable mechanical arm.
The arm is the core of how the game plays. Players grab enemies, throw objects, and use whatever is around them to keep moving or find different ways through fights and platforming sections.
The game is built around reacting to what’s on screen rather than following fixed solutions. Enemies and environmental objects can be used directly as part of movement and combat.
The project draws inspiration from Mega Man, Alien Soldier, Mischief Makers, Silhouette Mirage, Darkwing Duck, and Earthworm Jim, with a focus on expressive animation and fast, reactive gameplay.
The Kickstarter campaign includes physical editions for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, alongside funding for expanded content, refinement, and continued development through to release.
