About Dave the Duck

Dave the Duck Adventure is a free side-scrolling platformer that runs right in your browser, with nothing to download. You play as Dave, a chubby duck with a talent for fluttering in mid-air, who is trying to stop the noodle world from being swallowed whole by Jellyfish Squishy and its fizzy soda army. Jump across kitchen tables, noodle factories, soda springs and neon circuit boards, stomp walking noodle cubes and yarn-ball cats, smash crates, collect coins, and fight a boss at the end of every world.

The game is built for anyone who likes classic run-and-jump platformers: kids playing their first platformer, adults chasing the feel of an old console game, and friends competing for the highest coin count on the same laptop. There is no timer and no penalty for exploring, so it works just as well for a five-minute break as for a full afternoon of level hunting.

Everything is made by the small Dave the Duck crew, a group of independent game makers who build the levels, the pixel art, the chiptune soundtrack and the characters themselves. Coins you collect can be spent in the shop on new duck outfits, and a special collab duck can be claimed once from the Collab page. UFO Dash, a separate escape mode, is where you earn the alien suit.
