Not very friendly in terms of accessibility. Retro-themed or not, that's no excuse to: * Throw in a lot of button mashing games, enough that I went and bound single and multiple button turbos via Steam's controller profiles. My days of playing Smash Melee and/or Mario Party are long gone, and I have low tolerance for thoughtless inputs/mashes. * Have several tests where one must quickly identify colors of similar shades, some of which are mild or even imperceptible to me. I'm red-green colorblind and it got in the way more than once. * Put in a mandatory sequence of ~9 randomized button presses while a very annoying tone plays (unless changing the difficulty from Original) within a 5 second timer every time a game is failed. While trivial for me to perform, it wasn't trivial for my SO, and between having to do this and having to watch every game's intro every run, there's many games where you spend more time doing this than playing the game! There's even a Steam thread where someone b...

About This Game
DUCK: Dangerous Ultimate Cartridge Kidnapper is a compilation of 100 very different microgames lasting less than a minute! Cowboy duel, house building, tomato sorting, barrel ride, sea battles, jungle adventures, typical daily life of a mad scientist and more!
STORY.
A group of ducklings finds a mysterious 100-in-1 cartridge that turns out to be a trap for an evil spirit who calls himself D.U.C.K. Now the ducklings will have to show all their gamer skills, or else the villain will fulfill the curse and make them characters in his games. Being two-dimensional and pixelated, constantly dying and being reborn, is an inenvitable fate!
FEATURES
- Variety.
15 categories of 5-10 microgames each with three difficulty levels, plus a separate category for boss games. Different styles of pixel graphics, lots of unique tunes and sounds. And even the playthrough can be interesting, because you never know what's going to happen! And finally—as you progress through the story mode, play through the games and fulfill special conditions, you can unlock all 16 decorative panels—arcade, Greek, comic, summer, brick and more! - Game Modes.
In story mode, the ducklings will definitely get through all 100 games with your help, 5 ducklings are 5 main chapters. Open games appear in the vault, where you can choose any of them and practice, pass on all difficulties. And finally, there is a survival mode—try to get the highest score! However… No one prevents you from plunging into the unknown with your friends by activating one of the party modes! - The warm atmosphere of childhood.
The spirit has locked the ducklings in a room in the house of a typical duckling of the time. Small cozy room, the rays of the setting sun streaming through the window, you and your friends gathered in front of the screen of a tubby TV, and in the console—a cartridge with a bunch of interesting games!

A fun game with its own modes. MNC really liked networkings
I respect ducks. These sweet birds cannot evoke negative emotions. The game is very creative, dynamic, and tasteful.
A chic collection of mini-games in 8-bit style! The idea of some of the games was taken from the original NES games, some of the games were invented from scratch. The style of the drawn ducks and the environment is cool. The music and sounds are perfect. DUCK will appeal to those who spent a lot of time playing NES in childhood and adolescence, and also, thanks to its easy controls, is perfect for children as an introduction to video games. The downside for me was a few very difficult mini-games that just drove me furious.
[h1]Quck-my beer[/h1] Ladies and gentlemen, we got them? Freaking 100 in 1! This game will have you quacking with excitement as you waddle through levels, dodging enemies and playing some old stuff. [b][u]STORY/LORE[/u][/b] In DUCK, you play as a daring duck who has been tasked with saving the world from the evil Ultimate Cartridge Kidnapper. Now, I know what you're thinking, "What does a duck know about saving the world?" Well, apparently more than we thought, because this feathery hero is up to the task. [b][u]GAMEPLAY[/u][/b] The gaming process is where this game really shines. You control your duck with precision, flapping your wings to jump and avoid obstacles. You can also collect power-ups to help you on your mission, including a speed boost and invincibility. And let's not forget about the cartridges - collecting these will unlock new levels and abilities. Trust me, this is will be so damn awesome.

Wow, what an amazing throwback to childhood. Developer managed to perfectly grasp the atmosphere of classic retro games, and reimagine them into something that can be very relevant and more importantly FUN to play today! Sound design and music are particular highlights of this game - highly recommended for everyone! :)
Interesting and uncomplicated levels. The plot does not play a role here, the whole point is in mini-games.
This game was made under the influence of nostalgia for the very times when we played dandy alone or with friends while sitting at the TV. It was a good childhood. The plot is banal, but funny, help the ducklings to pass the game in the game =)
YEAH I AM PLAYING OLD 8-BIT GAMES WITH RTX 3080.
A positive and interesting game. A great variety that will not let you get bored.
