The Kickstarter campaign for DekaDuck, a hand-drawn 2D action platformer from Asteristic Game Studio, is now live alongside a playable Steam demo, giving players a chance to try the game firsthand before backing its continued development.
In DekaDuck, players control a half-duck, half-robot bounty hunter with a detachable mechanical arm used for combat and traversal. It lets players grab enemies, move objects, and interact with environments in ways that often lead to unexpected outcomes.
Rather than fixed approaches, DekaDuck is built around experimentation, where enemies and environmental objects can be repurposed mid-fight, encouraging players to adapt moment to moment and find new paths through each stage.
DekaDuck draws inspiration from action classics like Mega Man and Alien Soldier, cult titles such as Mischief Makers and Silhouette Mirage, and animated platformers like Darkwing Duck and Earthworm Jim, reflected through expressive animation, fast combat, and interaction design.
