Immerse yourself in this compilation of 100 very different microgames

DUCK: Dangerous Ultimate Cartridge Kidnapper is a compilation of 100 very different microgames, each lasting less than a minute. To complete each level you need to successfully pass 10 games, including the level's boss. Some of the mini games are fiendishly difficult. But don't worry. If you find any of the games too frustrating you can sacrifice one of your ducks in order to skip that game.

I love the format that these games are presented in. I mean, if presented as a collection on retro mini-games you probably wouldn't be overly interested. However, wrap them in a narrative, however flimsy, and suddenly playing random game after random game becomes fun and challenging. It certainly has that "Just one more go" feel to it.

The games are simple, and have various levels of challenging scenarios, but this is a game that you'll want to keep coming back to for short blasts.
