Deadly Duck

Deadly Duck is a video game in the action genre developed by Sirius Software, Inc. and published by Sirius Software, Inc. originally released in 1982. It is currently playable on VIC-20.

In Deadly Duck the player controls the titular character who must shoot his beak bullets at crabs, falling bricks and dragonflies.

Each level starts with eight crabs. The crabs pick up bricks from the sides and try to drop them on the player-controlled duck. It is possible to shoot the crabs and the bricks as they fall, but if a brick falls on the duck, the duck dies. When a brick falls on an empty spot, it stays in the pond for a moment, preventing the duck from moving horizontally.

On levels two through four there are two, four and six dragonflies, respectively, which move together just below the crabs. The player receives ten points for shooting the dragonflies, but this makes them angry. When they get angry, they drop one, two or three bombs (depending on the level). If the duck is next to a bomb when it explodes, it dies. The game continues until the player runs out of ducks, which are the equivalent of lives in other games.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
