Fighting is all about timing. Just ask any duck. The right move + right time = swift victory. All you need to do is PUNCH KICK DUCK! The cruel Baron Tigrisso has imprisoned you in his tower. Fight hordes of the Baron’s hench-critters as you battle up the tower to confront your captor. Simple controls & challenging action mean you'll soon be sending foes flying and chasing high scores. But be warned, your enemies are as determined as they are numerous, so you'll need to think quick and act quicker!! Just remember these three golden rules, passed down by countless generations of ducks: PUNCH beats KICK KICK beats DUCK DUCK beats PUNCH Oh, and don’t forget to RUN. You don’t want to meet The BEAR. Think you can handle it? Sure you can. You’re one tough duck! - Three selectable difficulty levels. - Unbox a colorful cast of characters. - Playable in both landscape and portrait orientation. - Cloud saves. - Simple responsive touch controls. - Controller support.
