Zako No Ahiru

Sassy Mary Sugaki knocks on your door, eager to share her latest discovery with you: a platformer called "Zako no Ahiru" as challenging as it is cute. Wanna play? Great! (She wasn't going to give you much of a choice…) Simply charge up to splash an adorable rubber ducky in all directions, and carefully scale a mountain covered in colorful obstacles. Just know that Mary WILL revel in every failure with sharp-tongued insults and banter, and she can't wait.

Blast water out of the ducky's beak to propel across lovely low-poly landscapes. Bounce onto trampolines for extra height while navigating chaotic plateaus covered in palm trees, extraterrestrial comets, and enormous slices of fruit. One wrong jump, and Mary will never let you live it down — prepare for a verbal onslaught of Mary's 1,000+ fully-voiced put-downs, monologues and occasional encouragement to keep going as the toy duck teeters back to the beginning of the stage.

Yes, there's a little tension from anticipated insults, but pressure makes diamonds, right? Don't let Mary's malicious words prevent you from mastering the bouncy nature of rubber ducky physics. Squeak a path towards seven distinct, dreamlike endings that feature more than 140 voiced lines, and try to ignore incoming insolent remarks along the way.
