Our take on Duck Souls
The defining constraint is the absence of combat: every stage must be handled through running, jumping, wall-climbing, and carefully timed dashes while deadly traps remain active.
What is Duck Souls?
Duck Souls is an action platformer about a small duck searching for lost eggs to preserve its species.
The game contains 100 levels with hazards, traps, and references to popular culture. Movement centers on running, jumping, wall-climbing, and a dash ability used to cross dangerous areas and avoid death. There is no combat, so progress depends on speed, reflexes, and movement timing. The game includes 20 trap types and 20 collectible hats for customizing the duck. It supports gamepads and keyboards, and includes a soundtrack.
