The Subtle Art of Giving a Duck
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Did you know that ducks are statistically the most altruistic animal in the world? No? Because we made that up! In this world though, you get to play as some very generous ducks with your friends!
Work together to platform your way through the mountain, giving up your precious abilities to those who need them so that you all may come to a better place.
[Controls]
A/D - Move
SPACE - Jump, Wall Jump, twice for Double Jump
(Left) SHIFT - Dash in current direction
W - Climb wall
PLEASE NOTE This game is meant for 4 players, as collaboration is part of the experience! 2-4 players are able to play, but I encourage you to get the full group if you can! Also, please only start the game once all players have joined the server. Ran out of time to get rolling joins working :(
[Dedicated Server]
Sadly, we are no longer operating a remote, dedicated server, but you can still host your own to play with friends!
[Playing over LAN]
If you'd like to play over LAN (with your friends on the same network) simply have someone host, everyone else clicks "Join," then have the Host start the game. If' you'd like to play online, see hosting/joining instructions below.
[Hosting Instructions]
If you would like to host a private session with your friends over the Internet (not over LAN), you will need to set up port forwarding on your router (see this generic guide, or Google how to do it on your specific router https://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/general-port-forwarding-guide)
Enable port forwarding to port 38257. If it still does not work, you may need to add a rule to your firewall to allow traffic.
[Joining Instructions]
If you are joining a private server with your friends, simply enter the host's public IP into the IP text box, and click Join! If you do not know where to find this, have the host check https://whatismyipaddress.com/
