== Gameplay ==
Zeile 39 ⟶ 24:
The player uses the [[joystick]] to control a [[robot]] that explores the scientist's lair, picking up eggs, weapons, and other useful objects. When two eggs are found and brought to the appropriate exit, the player advances to the next level.
The player starts with three lives (robots) and loses a life when eaten by a duck or hit by the ducks' fire or another deadly object. Additional lives and various power-ups can be earned by picking up colored balloons. The player can choose to play with all objects either in a predetermined location, or randomly distributed throughout the rooms in the game.<ref name="manual"/>

== Reception ==
French [[retrogaming]] magazine ''Pix'n Love'' offered a positive review in a July 2010 issue, complimenting the game's originality and depth.<ref name="PixNLove"/>
[[The Video Game Critic]] gave the game a "C" rating and a mixed review, calling the game "a really weird homage to Adventure." The Video Game Critic praised the game's depth, "sense of discovery" and support for the AtariVox peripheral, but criticized the game's "confusing" mazes and "arbitrary rules."<ref name="VGC"/>
''[[Blistered Thumbs]]'' reviewer Justin Carmical ranked ''Duck Attack!'' number 4 in the December 2010 roundup "Top 5 New Games for Old Consoles", saying that "the graphics are pretty smooth, and it looks like a pseudo-clone of ''Adventure'', but don't let that fool you. The gameplay is quick, and that darn duck just follows you everywhere."<ref name="Top5NewGames"/>
In April 2011 [[1UP.com]] included ''Duck Attack!'' as one of "31 Homebrew Games Worth Playing", saying "It's like someone took ''Adventure'' and mixed it with ''[[Resident Evil 3]]''. Only with more ducks."<ref name="31Homebrews"/>
