### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-06-21*

This game in fun and challenging

### 5/5 — Wonderfully cute game with cruel gameplay lol

*2026-06-04*

I have yet to beat M.Duck but I am dedicated! And I’ve platinum’ed rogue like games like Returnal, Saros, and Nightreign! But truly such a cool and unique game with endearing graphics and a nostalgic feel. The buffs and debuffs keep things interesting and the variety of attacks from enemies keep me on my toes. 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Charming and engrossing

*2026-02-12*

Fun learning curve to the gameplay and then so much great stuff to unlock. Well-executed roguelike rewards and fantastic levels and monsters.

### 5/5 — Love this game!!

*2025-11-30*

I’ve had this app for forever and only recently decided to conquer every bit. I only just now beat the game using the green watering can, which was my last star to acquire. Question: are there only 139 points to collect during the game? Or am I missing more? Finding Easter eggs on Reddit threads seem to not exist. Anyhoo…There are bits that are insane to beat, but for the diligent player, they can be conquered. I love the choices of relics we have to play that make it different each game. You quickly figure out which relics work best where. The graphics are cool, as they’re totally reminiscent of the early Atari and NES days. I sure hope you someday will add on extra levels, as it seems to leave it a little open-ended. Pretty please do add on. I know it’s been a while since you first developed the game, but for us diehards, we implore you. 😊 Thanks for a great game!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your kind words! Getting all 139 stars is no easy feat and I can confirm that you have accomplished everything in the current version of the game. While I don't have much time to work on M.Duck these days, I've actually recently begun drawing some new content for the game. It might take awhile, but I'm hoping to put together an update that should provide some new challenges and maybe a slightly tweaked ending for collecting all the stars. 

Thank you so much for playing - I'm glad you enjoyed it!

### 5/5 — A Masterpiece and my favourite iOS game ever

*2025-03-13, version 1.0*

This game is really one of a kind. Truly easy to pick up but hard to master I hope one day to complete my field notes I’m currently at 128/139. I LOVE THIS GAME ! I can’t think of anyway to make it better I really hope you make more games in the future. Thank you for this gem ❤️🦧

### 5/5 — really very good game

*2025-02-21*

This was a very great game, I love the art style! I'm writing this after I 100%ed the game. When I was bored I always played this game, I'm sad it has to end. One of my favorite games!!! Also could you add an ending when you get all stars?

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! I’m so glad you enjoyed the game! Hopefully I’ll be able to update it sometime to add some new content and maybe a new ending for 100% completion as well

### 5/5 — Incredible Game

*2024-12-14*

This is truly one of the best mobile games I have ever played. I have put hundreds of hours into this game, unlocked everything there is to unlock, and I still find new and fun strategies to break the game. 

It has amazing charm, depth, strategy, and replayability. I cannot recommend this game enough!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the review! I’m really glad you were able to enjoy the game so much. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to add some new content for you and others to explore

### 4/5 — GREAT GAME BUT…

*2024-02-28*

Some achievements in the game are insanely hard to get, or essentially impossible. For example, how do you destroy a curse (e.g on the cursed painting or wand) PLEASE HELP!

**Developer response:** Hey there! You can unlock the Holy Water by completing Fantome’s challenge in zone 3. It will show up as a possible reward whenever you have a cursed item in your inventory and dispels the curse.

Removing curses is definitely the hardest challenge in the game to get. (Forgive me! I’ll probably try to change it if I ever get a chance to update) If you’ve unlocked the weapon genie you can at least start with the cursed wand to have a better chance of getting the Holy Water.

Thanks for playing and good luck!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Underrated game!

*2024-01-26, version 1.0*

This deserves more, yet people would rather play Garden Scapes 😑

### 5/5 — Best iOS game made

*2023-06-17, version 1.0*

Thoroughly enjoyed this game. Took me playing for 2 weeks twice, 6 months apart, to finally win. Truly a well-balanced game.
