Our take on Ducks in Space
The 40-level count gives the game a clear scope, but the store emphasis on progression understates how much completion depends on optional lettered stages and collecting every coin and defeating every enemy to unlock a special reward.

Ducks in Space is a 2D platformer starring Captain Quackers, a duck fighting the Evil Goose Empire and its leader, Overlord Stumpy.
