Gameplay
Duck Game is a 2D action video game that features shooting and platforming mechanics. The game has a single-player arcade mode where the user can complete challenges to get tickets, which can be used to unlock more in-game hats as well as modifiers to change up the game (such as Moon gravity) as well as local or online multiplayer with up to three other players. The game has a simple premise, one hit and you are dead, last player standing wins the round, play to some target number of rounds (default is 10). The game features a simple control scheme; the thumbstick or directional buttons are used to move the player's duck. Beyond moving the duck character there are five buttons used, two to interact with weapons; one to pick up/throw a weapon, another to use the weapon you are holding, another to strafe (walk backwards) and two others; Quack and Trip/Ragdoll. The complexity in the game comes from the large assortment of weapons, and the varied environments players find.
The game has several unique elements, including multiple hats, a quack button, and a ragdoll button.

Reviewers likened the game to other successful 2D brawlers, including Super Smash Bros., TowerFall, and Samurai Gunn.
