This story is going on in 1985, in another dimension, and you control a duck named Aura, she's a delivery duck and about to have a life changing day on the job. A client has requested 8 disks to be delivered, but this won't be an easy task, because the disks are located in the client’s cousin’s old underground laboratory.
The laboratory consists of a lot of rooms and corridors packed with enemies that has to be avoided. Most of the enemies can be destroyed by jumping on them, but some of them are lethal and has to be avoided. By pressing fire button you can jump, and by pressing “down” direction you will place an egg. The egg can be pushed until it is where you want it, and after a while it will explode, making you leap high in the air if you stand where the egg is when it explodes.
You have to find 8 disks, and while 5 of them is ready for pick up, the 3 of them is locked away. You will need to find the required 3 items to unlock the disks. The locks and items are numbered 1, 2, 3 and you will need them to match to unlock the disks. You have to do some back tracking for this, because you have to walk past the locked disks and come back when you have found the matching number for unlocking.
It is pretty much a standard platform game, but it is very polished and nice looking. The soundtrack is cool, it plays and controls well, and the 3 locked disks will give you something to think about, so a very nice game we have here.
The game was made by UltraNarwhal in 2020/21.
