Ducks On Ice is a fast-paced rollercoaster ride of action and thrills that will keep your adrenaline pumping. Only when you’ve eaten all the Quackers on The Rink will the Flamingo Guard be fed and distracted long enough for you to get the duck outta there. Which isn’t as easy as it sounds, what with the ice being so slippery and all. There are plenty of Bad Guys to keep you on your toes, like Archibald Eagle the relentless killing machine, and the mysterious Ice Shark that sometimes carries a “laser” beam (where’d he even get that?). Don’t let them make Duck Soup out of you! But you’ll also run into some Good Guys, like the amorous Mallard Fillmore, and some Bonus Objects like the Orb of Fire, that will tilt the odds in your favor. As a wise man once said, ’tis better to be a Lucky Duck than a Dead Duck. "It’s a great game! Challenging enough to keep my interest, but not so hard that I felt overwhelmed." – KR "I've really enjoyed the game. More zambonis. They are awesome!" – JK "I love the music and sound effects. This game is addictive. Overall, this is a super fun game." – BG "Ducks On Ice is an addictive smash hit. I laughed, I cried, I quacked. Pure quackery at its best. I give it two enthusiastic wings up.” – CHV
