We are proud to present to you the first public version of Counter Ducks! It includes two playable maps: Ducks Eye Lake and Gator Swamp. Currently and temporarily, the game can be played with a maximum of 8 people in any team configuration (4v4, 3v5, etc.). There is also a lobby browser that will allow you to find other ‘hunters’ who are open to playing!

Since the last version, we managed to create a system for configuring equipment and abilities in the menu, which allows you to choose your equipment before the match. There are 6 equipment slots available (for the hunter divided into 2 primary weapons, a melee weapon and 3 additional items; for the duck - the player has a free hand in what ability configuration they choose - however, it is worth remembering about the nest).

Invite your friends and check who will be the better ‘hunter’!

If you want to learn more about the latest changes or about the details of this playtest, we invite you to our Discord!

Good luck on the hunt!
