About
As Dodo the Duck, you spent most of your life on a placid farm—surrounded by friendly chickens and sheltered from danger. That changes when, one day, you wake up to aliens abducting all of your friends! With no one else in sight, it’s up to you to step out of the farm and rescue chicken buddies!
Embark on a unique adventure, as you travel through a cozy world to rescue your friends from their alien captors. Leverage traditional 2D puzzle platformer mechanics to explore, collect coins, and navigate the world. Then, unlock special abilities that allow you to flip the levels on their head—quite literally—and reveal an entirely new perspective. Meet an eclectic cast of characters, discover new paths, unlock hidden treasures and solve puzzles that blend 2D and 3D elements as you try to outwit the aliens and bring the flock back home.
Dodo Duckie! draws heavily from genre classics like Paper Mario, Fez, and Gris to create an approachable yet challenging puzzle adventure for all ages.
