About Charlie the Duck

Charlie the Duck is an old school 2D side-scrolling platform game. Run through levels, collect coins, diamonds and other power ups. Jump on top of enemies to defeat them. Dive into the water to find hidden areas!

This is a complete remake of the PC version originally released in 1996 for MS-DOS. The game is nearly identical, but some small changes have been made. This version does not use separate buttons to walk slower or faster, some levels were modified a bit to make everything work well with the constant walking speed. Also, there have been some small changes to make the game a little easier and less frustrating. And now there is also background music!

✦ AI summary

Charlie the Duck is a retro indie game that nostalgic players and newcomers appreciate for its simplicity and charming old-school design, with the adorable aesthetic and gameplay mechanics serving as useful study material for game developers. However, the game suffers from notable technical issues including performance problems capped at 60fps, controller input bugs that cause reversed directions and unfair deaths, and poorly calibrated boss hitboxes, with players frustrated by the lack of updates to address these problems.

While I didn't play this one [i]Back in the Day[/i]™ I did play one of its ancestors which is how I came across this. Y'see, back in the dial-up days I'd download just about anything and everything I could find on shareware sites like Gamehippo and CNET (yes, [i]that[/i] CNET, the AI Clickbait [i]CNET[/i]), and one concept I had a particular obsession with was being able to play "Mario" on the computer. You could find a lot of DOS remakes of things like the original Mario Bros arcade and Donkey Kong, but there was one Mario shareware game in particular that always caught my eye, which was Weiring Software's [i]Mario & Luigi[/i]. It was always kind of mysterious because it really looked and felt like the real thing while still having its own vibe, but there were only a few levels and that always had me wondering what the rest of the game was (In a wild twist turns out the circulated version was a hacked stolen version that was cut down and Weiring never actually meant to release it). But still, that memory remained, what [i]was[/i] the deal with that Mario DOS game? Going down that rabbit hole a year or two ago lead me to [i]Charlie the Duck[/i], which actually uses the same as tha…

Hate to say this, but in current state, I can't recommend this game. Capped @60fps this game runs very slowly although several other games considered retro run way more smoothly. Playing with controller very often causes Charlie to run into the opposite direction, which means, if I move the controller stick to the right, Charlie starts running left and vice versa. This very often results in frustrating deaths. The hitscans of bosses are also a pure nightmare. It's a shame, this game does not receive any updates until today although of these severe issues.

Very adorable and fun game. I purchased it because I needed to replicate the game for one of my game dev classes! (Definitely recommend it for implementing various gameplay elements and general coding practice!)
