Not everyday do I get to read about a game that claims to use real world weather based on your location and data connection within the game itself. VNA’s Ducktastic does that shmup style where players guide a duck flying through levels, doing whatever they can to prevent the duck from becoming a part of a restaurant’s menu item. Check out the details in the press release below:

Ducktastic 1.2 – AppStore Game Uses The Real Weather Around You

VNA announce Ducktastic 1.2, their first game for iOS devices. With fantastic artwork, created by actual artists and a lovely retro feel, Ducktastic uses the real weather around you, and creates its own WeatherFX using your location and data connection. It is both fun and catchy, harking back to the games you played as a child. Pilot your duck through 18 levels and stages, eat the bugs, dodge the bullets and do everything you can, not to end up on the restaurant menu.

Ducktastic creates its own WeatherFX using your location and data connection. Each time you play, it checks your location, time and weather to customize the graphics and gameplay to your environment. Thus if its raining outside, its raining in the game, if its night time, its night time in the game.

The way to play is to pilot your duck through 18 levels and stages, eat the bugs, dodge the bullets and do everything you can, not to end up on the restaurant menu. Start is pretty basic and simple but it gradually develops into a game which is both very engaging and quite smart. And by using your local time and weather conditions in the game, it does offer something different each time you play. With wind direction and speed affecting your flight, and with rain, clouds, night and more, it’s ever changing and ever challenging.

Ducktastic features:

  • 18 levels/stages through 6 exquisite regions
  • Beautiful artwork with hand painted backgrounds
  • Weather FX; each time you play it could be different
  • Automatic day and night time modes

Ducktastic 1.2 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. It is rated 4+ for everyone over 4 years of age. Check it out over here: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id402181408
