END AUTOMATED TEXT. THREAD CREATOR INFORMATION BELOW.

Hello. Do you have time to talk about Duck Game?

This is an amazing port of an amazing multiplayer game. It's a quacktastic 2D party fighter/shooter with tons of unique weapons which stands at the very top of the Switch multiplayer heap, along with Smash Bros. and Towerfall.

The single-player arcade challenges are more on the tutorial side, but they're still pretty engaging. And freaking BALLS HARD, if you're going for the Platinum. Like, F-Zero GX Story Mode and Blast Corps Platinum hard.

But don't buy it for the single-player. Buy it for the endless multiplayer goodness. Local is amazing, the online play works pretty well so far, and they even threw in the level creator from the PC version! All for only $12! It's like they're paying you!

In conclusion, Duck Game is currently the highest rated game on Negative World. Long may it reign!

Your zealous and possible insane recommendation intrigues me.

You lied! This isn't $12, it's $13! That's way too much!

Are there any team or co-op modes, or is it all free-for-all VS?

Duck Game is awesome, it's basically in that 2D weapons based brawler genre that Towerfall is in but I maybe like it more? Or not? I don't know, they're both awesome! The main difference here is there are way more weapon types.

Bought it the moment I saw it had released. And I'm glad to have it on a system that I actually play. Too bad it came out so late in the school year though, won't really get to play it with the students in my club much until after summer.

Online play sounds neat... definitely will check that out.

And a stage builder? Awesome!

@J.K. Riki
Insane, but sincere! Sinsane.

If you ever play competitive games with others, this is a must-buy.

Everyone pick it up, so that we can play online! (And I can win, for once!)

@Mop it up
There's team stuff. You just have to wear the same hat! It's good for handicap matches. I always try to get my nephews to play 1v2, but neither wants to give up their favorite hat, so it always falls apart in acrimony, ending in a free-for-all...

You can mix local and online players, too. No, AI, though. And no co-op. Towerfall, which is also awesome, has co-op. (And super-hype six player matches. But no online.)

@Zero
How many modifiers have you unlocked? They make it pretty difficult!

I like ducks enough to feed them split grapes, and I like games enough to play them often. Would I like Duck Game though? I struggle with this question.

I almost had a heart aquack when I saw this was finally added to the store!

@Hinph
Struggle no more. If you can already appreciate the intrinsic adorableness of a duck, then how could you not be charmed by a duck... wearing a beer hat?

(Which sheds feathers every time it jumps. And curses when somebody steals its gun.)

@carlosrox
Yes!

So is there any way to play online with friends? It seems like you can only play random people?!

@Zero That's a shame. Perhaps if you both search for a game at the same time, you'll get matched up?

Yeah, the old DS method!

I mean, you can Create a Game. I haven't checked the options, though. I just joined one.

You can create rooms but they don't seem to have anything to do with friends?!

Although the first person who joined my room was named Carlos... is that THE Carlos?!

You'd know if it's me. I'd show up online in your friends list.

@carlosrox I have tons of friends I don't even pay attention to those pop-ups much!

@Zero
I usually notice it when I see it.

Wait I was wrong, you can definitely do friend games. But it's kind of like Smash where you'd have to know your friends and playing and look for them because the game won't tell you any of your friends are playing.

So we need to set this up in chat one of these days!
