Duck Life has always been known for its training mini games. But in Duck Life 9, we’ve included a whole bunch more mini games that have nothing to do with training whatsoever! In today’s dev log we’re going to take a look at some of them (warning, this dev log includes some spoilers!)
Archery Cave
In the archery cave, your duck is given a crossbow and told to shoot! Shoot all of the targets on the doors to open them up and progress through the cave. Watch the time limit bar at the bottom because if it runs out, you’ll have to start over. Get the to end of the cave before running out of time to receive a mystery prize!
Beach Clean Up
A clumsy duck has dropped all of their precious paper cranes on the beach, and they need your help to pick them all up. But watch out, the tide is coming in (and fast!). You’ll have to think about the right route to take in order to pick them all up without letting any be taken by the ocean!
Pipes
There’s a duck who’s having plumbing problems, and they’ve enlisted you to help (in exchange a tasty reward that is!). Click on a pipe segment to rotate it, and keep rotating segments until everything is connected up nicely. This one is a puzzler for sure!
Crystal Mines
Deep below the Crystal Desert is the Crystal Mines, where there’s treasure to be found! Unfortunately, the only way out of the mine is via a terrifying mine cart track. Use the brake to control the speed of the mine cart and stop it flying off the track (or make it fly off the track and land nicely for swag points!). If you make it to the end of the track without crashing, the treasure is yours!
Hot Air Balloon
There’s something valuable in the sky, and luckily you have a hot air balloon to go and fetch it. Unluckily, the sky is full of obstacles and mines that are ready to pop your balloon and send you hurtling towards the ground! You can only move up and down, so you’ll have to use the wind gusts to move around
Toadstool Tower
Inside this enormous tower is a load of platforms, and it’s your job to jump up them all the way to the top! Some platforms are special and will give you a massive boost, but others will start to crumble as soon as you jump on them. Don’t fall down!
Volcano Skydive
Just outside the volcano is what the ducks lovingly call the “death hole”. This is a giant deep hole filled with lava, rocks and fireballs that no one should ever venture into. It’s your job to skydive all the way to the bottom, avoiding all the obstacles on the way down. If you make it to the bottoms there’s a prize for you, but that’s a big if!
Believe it or not, there are even more mini games than this! But we’ll let you discover them for yourself when the game comes out next month. The next dev log in 2 weeks time will be the final one before release, so get ready for some big reveals! In the meantime, join our Discord channel to keep updated and to join the discussion. We’ll also be posting trailers and updates on our YouTube channel, and if you’d like to wishlist the game you can do so now on the official Steam page (wishlisting helps a lot with getting the game featured on Steam when it releases, so please do it if you can!)
