About this game
Overview
Starship Ducks is a low-gravity lunar shooter you play in the browser. You are a duck paratrooper, and every shot from your own gun shoves you backward. Pick one of four jetpacks, drop by pod onto endless moon ground, and last through waves of drones, gunships, tanks, and bug swarms. Between waves you take one of two system upgrades.
Tips
- The gun is the hazard. Each shot pushes you back, so holding fire in low gravity walks you off the line you aimed.
- WASD is thrust, not a planted walk. Space is a second thrust, and the four jetpacks do not share one profile.
- The upgrade between waves is a 2-pick-1. Take one. The other is gone for that break.
- Drones, gunships, tanks, and bug swarms get harder as the waves climb. Those kills are also where SMGs, shotguns, health packs, and shields come from.
