DekaDuck is still in development and features Dr. Less finding himself in a huge pickle! While escaping from the Intergalactic Police, his ship crashed on an uncharted planet, alongside a police ship that was on his tail. Using his brilliant mind and his daughter's pet duck, he created DEKADUCK, half-duck, half-robot marvel. You, playing as DekaDuck must utilize your detachable mechanical arm which is central to both combat and travel, allowing enemies, objects, and the environment itself to become part of your toolkit! Built around agility, speed, momentum, and experimentation, you are tasked to dash and shoot your way to victory! Once mastered, your abilities are out of this world!
 
DekaDuck includes six stages packed full of secrets to discover. Fly to different regions on Dr. Less' ship, each packed with secret areas, different enemies and giant bosses, and interact with many unique characters, such as Aiko, the Intergalactic Police Captain that has a crush on him, and Ekos, arms dealer (literally!).
 
The newly released trailer offers a first look at how gameplay mechanics come together, showcasing quick movement, responsive platforming, and encounters that reward improvisation. Rather than relying solely on traditional shooting, the game encourages players to use positioning, timing, and enemy interactions to maintain flow and forward momentum.
 
Inspired by classics such as MegaMan® and Alien Soldier® among others, DekaDuck has found its way to Kickstarter® where the popular campaign is focused on expanding content, refining systems, and supporting development through to release. Backers will help shape the scope of the final game and gain access to campaign rewards and development updates. Check it out and pledge your support today!
