History VideoGame / DuckGame

* PrecisionFStrike: There is a rare chance for a duck to instead say a censored obscenity when quacking.

''Duck Game'' is a 2014 2D platformer shooter fighting game developed by Landon Podbeilski for UsefulNotes/{{OUYA}}, and published on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} by Creator/AdultSwim in 2015. It is built around fast-paced fighting across stages that give little time for everyone to understand what does what, with different levels providing varied challenges, along with many weapons with their own particular quirks.

Aside from the aformentioned Steam port, the game was also released for Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch in 2019.

* ManOnFire: The result of touching fire for too long. You can try to put yourself if there's water or a fire extinguisher around, or light your opponents on fire to take them down with you.

* PainfullySlowProjectile: [[{{WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce}} The Plutonian blaster.]]

The game was ported to PC in 2015, and again for Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch in 2019.

* KillItWithFire: With flamethrowers, flare guns, roman candles, barrels of fuel, your own flaming body, and so on.

* NiceHat: In addition to looking cool, they're used to assign and distinguish teams. Players can also make their own using external tools.

* JokeItem: There's plenty of useless weapons lying around, like Nerf guns, musical instruments, and a gun with the barrel pointing backwards so that you end up shooting yourself when you fire it.
** LethalJokeItem: However, even some of these seemingly useless items have hidden potential. For example, the Nerf gun disarms any ducks that take a hit, and it can be set on fire to make it into a terrifying rapid-fire flare gun. When sliding with the suicide pistol, the bullets go past your duck and used such it's as effective as the revolver, only firing in the opposite direction and without recoil. Getting a tombstone from a random weapon box is usually a disappointment, though it can be dropped on an unfortunate duck's head.

** One weapon is the Plutonian blaster from ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce''. And yes, the bullets are exactly as slow as one would expect they are.

** Ducks killed with fire, as well as the Death Ray and Plutonian Blaster, don't leave bodies but instead a dish of roasted duck. These can be dropped on other ducks' heads for a particularly humiliating kill.

* YetAnotherStupidDeath: Thanks to a combination of the map and its allotted weapons, you can get situations like shooting someone with a net gun, only for a spring to bounce their helpless body around until they smack into you, awarding them the point for breaking your neck.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin : It's a game. About Ducks.

** LethalJokeItem: However, even some of these seemingly useless items have hidden potential. For example, the Nerf gun can potentially disarm other ducks if the darts hit them just right, or be lit on fire and shoot burning darts.

* NecessaryDrawback: It happens a lot. Strong weapons need to be reloaded or recocked after every shot before it can fire again. Flintolocks and rocket launchers are worse as they have a lengthy reload animation of the duck putting in a new round.

* NecessaryDrawback: It happens a lot...
** The Rocket Launcher can blast apart the stage but needs to be reloaded after every shot and it takes forever. Flintlocks have the same drawback.
** Stronger guns, such as the sniper, in general need to be recocked after every shot.

* LittleUselessGun: The derringer has piss-poor range and only has one shot but seeing how [[NotCompeletelyUseless you can kill people in a single shot...]] [[DoubleSubverted unless the other guy is packing heat.]]

%%* NoPlotNoProblem
* OneHitPointWonder: Ducks go down in one hit, unless they are wearing armor.
