About This Game

Inspired by a classic game from the golden age of arcades, Quest for the Golden Duck allows you to bring up to 3 more friends in a co-op game. Or take control of the monsters in PvP game and prevent the other team from stealing all the gold from the castle.



Lured by rumors of untold treasures in an abandoned castle, you stumble upon a secret tunnel some prisoners used to escape from its dungeon. Your quest is to find the fabled Golden Duck, a magic artifact of unlimited power.



  • Single player campaign with 5 playable heroes
  • 2-4 player co-op campaign
  • PvP game: 1v1, 2v1, 2v2 modes for 2-4 players
  • 100 handcrafted levels



  • Run around the maze and collect all the gold while being chased by spooky monsters.
  • Complete the levels before the time runs out to get extra lives.
  • Lure monsters into traps and away from treasure. Hide and sneak behind their backs.



  • Power Gem allows you to chase down and banish the enemies
  • Ice Bomb freezes all the enemies on the screen
  • Clover Leaf makes you invisible
  • Pick up keys to unlock doors
  • Use secret passages when enemies are closing in



In versus games, players side with Team Heroes or Team Monsters. Heroes have to collect all the gold, while monsters have to chase them down before the time runs out. Players can use powerups to escape tough situations.

Very nice game. Would love to hear more sound effects like the gold being picked up.

It's cooperative pac-man, with enemies you can aggro to pull them off from your team mates, and powerups that work for your team too. The versus mode is funny, but doesn't really work with two players.

Ok, so they tried to give Pac-Man a campaign mode. I think they have achieved at least that. BUT sadly the controls are not precise enough for a Pac-Man game regarding the speed this game is set at. What's worse is: they got the control principles wrong (as did many ports in the past)! In classic Pac-Man you have to press ONCE to go in a specific direction and good ol' Paccy will not stop until he hits a wall or you (the player) reverse direction. Sadly, this is NOT the case with this game. Instead you have to keep your directional input pressed. Furthermore they messed up the cornering (one of - if not THE - essential thingyou have to have precise in Pac-Man games). Often enough you press too early (what isn't a problem in the original due to the mechanics I explained above) what results in your character going anywhere or changing movement heading directly into the enemy following you and loosing a life. Apart from that, one can see and feel they put quite a bit of work into the g...

The game is fine for 2d platformer fans, though sometimes a bit too annoying with those dogs running too fast. The biggest problem that made me put aside this game after an hour of playing is that your progress is not saved, so if you die or decide to play it some other time, you'll have to start all over and pass the same levels you passed before

It's fun to play in 4 on the couch on tv (connected to PC) with gamepads.

Pure nightmare fuel. Horrible, horrible sound, lousy animation, and the versus mode is impossible for the gold collectors because the monsters can simply camp on the coins. This game is not worth the mere $1 I spent and is nowhere near worth $10!
