A small pixel-art duck needs to find the way out of each level, and the exits are locked. Epic Duck is a platformer about exploring with care: you search for a hidden key, get past the traps, and open the door to the next stage.
It walks left and right and jumps, using either the keyboard or on-screen controls on a touch device. Jumping is mostly what keeps it out of the traps.
Keys are often tucked away. Stop and study the layout before running ahead, because secret spots and hidden paths are part of the level design.
Yes, later levels ask for sharper timing and better planning. Another platform classic, Super Mario Bros, is waiting on the site once the duck has found its last exit.
