What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Duck Paradox is Magic Games’ first game. From our initial free release, our player community inspired us to rebuild the game into our ultimate vision. The new builds will give users extra playroom to imagine what more this game can be. Player feedback on all builds will continue to be considered for our 1.0 release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Duck Paradox plans to release its 1.0 later this year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“This build offers 24 levels in a new world. The full version will bring three full worlds with connecting storyline, visual upgrades, player achievements, a new hub, localization…and more crazy powerups!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A 24-level world exploring different mechanics that offers a compact, challenging, and arcade-like experience. Unlock Survival Mode to test your skills round after round. Earn 20+ upgrades to combine and stack infinitely for endless variety.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, Early Access opens at a discount to reward early players who help us build towards a better game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We have a large community that has played an integral role in shaping and supporting this new vision for Duck Paradox - and we welcome feedback from new players! We will continue listening, conversing with players, and enjoying this game together beyond launch.

About This Game

ENTER THE PARADOX
Navigate the infinite domains of the multiverse as savvy scientist Dr. Paraducks in search of her pet duck, lost in the throes of space-time thanks to a malfunctioning time machine. Trapped in a world of endless possibilities, Dr. Paraducks continues to battle corrupted versions of her beloved pet despite the unrelenting reality and her declining sanity. But who knows what is real anymore? For her, there is no choice but to keep fighting. Tackle difficult-to-master trials, run after run, with the utmost quickness to earn powerful upgrades, save all of the ducks, and grasp the tattered threads of reality.



BEWARE OF THE DUCKS
Armed with a trusty ray gun and a can-do quackitude, face dangerous worlds teeming with corrupted imposters. Leap across perilous platforms, unleashing waves of bouncing bullets on swarms of feathered foes. Each ray gun blast offers a deadly risk: each miss ricochets off of walls, adding to Dr. Paraducks’ list of troubles. Aim and shoot strategically while dodging lethal hazards and pixelated pits of death.



OUTSMART THE FLOCK
Slow down time for some breathing room while solving puzzles and engaging barricades. Procure lifesaving shield bubbles before setting up explosive traps to zap duck doppelgangers while corralling your duck to safety. Select between two randomized upgrades at the end of each level, experimenting with new builds with every reset. Pet enthusiasts will need to keep a level head through more than 20 increasingly difficult levels or unlock and test their resolve in the endless Survival mode.



FEATURES
  • Over 20 increasingly difficult levels that challenge you to find your duck and return back to the time machine. New worlds and even more levels to come in future releases!
  • Gameplay offers unique challenges around precision platforming, strategic shooting, solving puzzles and earning upgrades.
  • An endless Survival mode to test your skills through grueling rounds of bouncing bullets and big-beaked bosses.
  • Select between two randomized upgrades at the end of each level, experimenting with new builds with every reset.
