Prototype Info

Unused Weapons

Portal Gun

While this is actually used in the final game, it seems that it was left unfinished. It's only accessible through the level editor and uses the same sprite as the Phaser. When using the weapon, it only emits orange portals. You can go through them sometimes depending on the position. It's even possible to crash the game when using the item. Despite this, you can still kill other ducks with it. It was most likely some kind of weaponized version of the Teleporter.

This weapon was removed from the level editor in the @HOME update.

  Example of the Portal Gun only emitting orange portals.

• 

  Note how the portals can overlap.

Unused Levels

To do: Add pictures, thumbnails, and more. It'd probably be a good idea to make a sub-article since there are a lot of these.

It's possible to load unused levels from the game directory into the folder where level editor levels are stored and play them from there.

These levels have silly names, such as "azz" and "fucktown".

Test Levels

Your average test levels with straightforward names like "agreatwaytotestfluid" or "awiretest".

AI Tests

To do: Find a way to get AI in the level editor. Check and see if AI is used in the main arcade mode.

There are also AI test levels. Mainly to test out AI features. They seem to be the only types of levels that use node paths. They're labeled as "Survival Challenges", probably having to do with avoiding other ducks.

RoboDucks crash the game when force-spawned, they dont crash in the level editor, they play their walking animation on place and spawn white ducks, said ducks can be mindcontrolled and when the mindgun ray time runs out they are still controlled.

Multiple white ducks can be controlled at the same time, and multiple players can have control of multiple mindcontrolled ducks.

Arcade Hub Tests

To do: Find a way to load or edit arcades.

Arcade HUBs don't work since they make the game crash when you test them in the editor.

Donut Arcade Challenges

Theres a set of challenges that were apparently too hard for release (with exception of zone 2 which is just incomplete) and dont have an Arcade machine on the main Arcade Hub.

They of course can be played by dragging the level files into the custom levels directory and then opening them in the level editor.

• 

  Donut Zone 1.

• 

  donutzone1.lev in the level editor.

• 

  Donut Zone 2.

• 

  donutzone2.lev in level editor.

• 

  Donut Zone 3.

• 

  donutzone3.lev in level editor.

Unused Graphics

Duck Game contains many unused and outright bizarre graphics.

• 

  Images of the buttons for the Ouya version are still present in the game's files.

• 

  Literally titled "shittyCorptron.png," this image was likely used as a placeholder.

• 

  These would likely be held up by the crowd in the intermissions, with the empty space replaced with a player name

•

• 

  This bizarre image, along with its counterpart, was likely used to test mod portraits.

•

• 

  This appears to be an unused weapon, judging from the file name, it would be a Harpoon Gun.

Version Differences
