OH NO!, the duck-pals have been taken prisoner by a robot invasion!

Find your fellow ducks and combine your abilities to escape the robots fort!

CUACK!!

Controls (explained in-game but here's a summary)
Arrow Keys to move.
Space Bar to interact with close objects ('hold' to move boxes,
and press to switch levers when you're next to them)
Press X to shoot (only one duck can do this).
1, 2 and 3 (number buttons) will switch your characters (once you find them).

('M' will mute the audio, and 'F' toggles fullscreen)

This game was made within a week of work for the Construct 3 Jam with the theme "Good things come in threes".

I was motivated by the concept of a 3-character based 'puzzle' game drifting a bit from the platformer formula, and experiment with simple attributes that could make each character different but complementary, this is the result.

While designing the puzzles, so many more possibilities came to mind, more assets and obstacles, and more ways to take advantage of each duck's ability, in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this small selection of stages; Who knows?, it could evolve into a larger game if the response is good.

Since the game was made within such a brief period of time with experimentation in mind, not much testing was made regarding the difficulty, which means the puzzles can be really though (or really easy) for a short game (some MAY have more than one way to complete...).

That said, give it a try and let me know your impressions!!

If you're a bit lost, here's a few TIPS
-Keep in mind the effects of each switch you press! (as some will happen off-screen!)
-Sometimes one duck can solve more than one problem by itself!
