Our take on Dungeons and Ducklings
The game departs from maze-chase convention by giving Mama Duck an attack that can break walls and defeat enemies. Rescuing ducklings also changes the familiar pursuit structure into a growing chain, while gear affects both abilities and appearance.
What is Dungeons and Ducklings?
Play as Mama Duck in a dungeon maze where an evil Lich and undead minions hold kidnapped ducklings.
The game uses classic Pac-Man controls with an attack button that can destroy walls and defeat enemies, letting Mama Duck create paths through the maze. Rescued ducklings form a growing chain behind her. Runs include waves of undead enemies and battles against large bosses. Mama Duck can be customized with hundreds of gear combinations, each providing active or passive abilities and changing her accessories. The game also includes meta upgrades and progression, animal friends such as the shop cat at Toe Beans Cafe, and a roguelite structure built around maze navigation, combat, rescue, and duck customization.
