A mysterious rain is dissolving the world. As everyone else panics, it is you, Duke Duck Dude, who knows just what to do in a time like this: eat every last donut on the planet to keep them from going to waste. How many donuts are left in the world? How far will a lone Duck Dude go to get his noms? Play to find out!

Also, who knew a duck that eats donuts could control the weather?

About Development

This game was built as a submission for the One Lone Coder Codejam 2022. It is the first real test of a custom Java 2D game engine I am working on. The goal of the game engine is to utilize no outside libraries to force myself to learn more about how games are made (plus it is a lot of fun!). I worked on this game with a few good buddies I met long ago in college who are also interested in making little games in their free time. We call ourselves "Duck Dudes Games" and we hope you enjoy our first completed project!

If you enjoyed this project and you'd like to see how it was built then feel free to check out its GitHub repository!

Wonderful! well done, I love how your player direction works, very smooth and of course the "quack" sound, that was so funny

Kind regards

I’m glad you enjoyed the game! The quack is my favorite :)

I really enjoyed the rain effect, even though it was trying to kill me

I’m glad you liked it! I researched for awhile trying to find some ideas for the effect I was wanting to go for. It ended up working out better than I could’ve hoped!

this was quite fun. reminds me of the langoliers the way the ground is being eaten away

Thanks for playing! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
