Preview by Meatballsub

How long has it been
since Duck Duck has seen his mum? Too long.
What
happens when he hears the classic Simon and Garfunkel song on the
radio at work and gets the homesick bug? He quits his job as janitor at
Hollodale Elementary, and catches the next train out of town.
He
eventually makes it back home, but what happens in transit? How does
a flightless duck travel hundreds of miles back home? Is his Mum even
there? Only time will tell...




After year and a half long game-making hiatus, I have returned and
have
been working on my next game; Homeward
Bound: The
Account of Duck Duck.
It is a puzzle game that plays similar to the classic NES game Kickle
Cubicle. The combat mechanics
are a blend of Mario Bros
and Bomberman.
This project is close to demo playtesting stages and will feature nine
levels and one boss level. The full version will likely feature 20+
levels and multiple boss stages.
If all goes well, expect a demo to be out sometime in February 2010.
