About Duck Paradox
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. Every 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, big-beaked bosses, 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. Keep a level head through more than 50 increasingly difficult levels or test your resolve in the endless Survival mode.

the biggest (and possibly only) problem I have with this game is that you're going to be dying to your own bullets 90% of the time because they never despawn, so unless you hit something you're out of luck. this wouldn't be an issue if it weren't for the fact there are multiple gun upgrades that all make your life harder instead of easier, such as increasing bullet size, speed, and quantity per shot.
pretty simple and cool roguelike
This game is awesome and really hard! So much love and thought was put into it, it needs more reviews
It's kinda cool but I'm not the right person for it tbh that's why i have 10min
As someone who loves roguelikes, bullet dodging, really hard games, sci-fi, and especially ducks, I loved this game. The gadgets are all versatile and creative, the bosses are fun and unique, and the upgrades are all interesting and useful. There's also a descent amount of end-game content to play around with. I've always enjoyed those moments of desperately shooting backwards as you run to escape an impending swarm of killer ducks out to get you. 4.5/5 would recommend.
