Meet Joey the Duck
The indie game developer Sikor is delighted to announce that the free demo of Joey The Duck is now available on Steam. You can dive into this open-level type platformer game and begin your journey. The game will be coming out sometime this year, so make sure to keep an eye out.
Joey The Duck is a linear open-level platformer that unfolds across one vast interconnected environment. Players guide Joey, a charming yet unapologetically greedy duck, as he ventures into the treacherous Forbidden Lands in pursuit of a treasure that may only be a myth. Beneath his adorable appearance lies a money-driven opportunist, and his relentless search leaves no room for breaks. There are no main menus, hub worlds, or world maps. Joey keeps pressing forward, determined to claim the legendary prize.
The game’s visual style embraces minimalist pixel art, blending simplicity with vibrant character. To personalize the experience, players can switch between light and dark modes on the fly. Or enhance the retro feel with optional visual effects like CRT TV simulation and Black and White mode. You can layer these filters together, creating a nostalgic atmosphere that evokes classic gaming.
Gameplay focuses on smooth exploration and interaction within the sprawling level. Players will collect coins, outmaneuver enemies, and use the environment to their advantage as they navigate the mysterious land. The seamless design keeps the action flowing, encouraging exploration without interruptions.
With its single expansive world, customizable visual flair, and a protagonist whose charm hides his greedy motives, Joey The Duck offers a fresh twist on classic platforming. The demo’s arrival on Steam provides an early opportunity to step into Joey’s feathers and experience the adventure before the full game launches later this year.
