Plucked

You're a duck. The pond disagrees. You were minding your own business, the way ducks do. The pond decided that was a problem. Plucked is a top-down bullet-heaven roguelite where you play a small, round, alarmingly well-armed duck & survive wave after wave of everything that wants you for lunch. On your own, or with up to eleven friends in the same pond. Twelve ducks, one pond Co-op isn't bolted on, it's the reason I built this. Up to 12 players in a single arena, joining through a Steam invite, a join code, or the public lobby browser if you'd rather find a pond full of strangers. Everyone brings their own guns, their own coins & their own opinions about what to spend them on. Go down & you spectate the chaos until the next wave brings you back, so the last duck standing keeps the whole run alive. Shoot first, quack later Pick a loadout & waddle in. You handle the moving, your guns auto-aim the nearest unlucky amphibian. Between waves you spend XP & coins to build a duck that has absolutely no business being this dangerous - more damage, faster fire, thicker feathers, or just spikes, for some reason. Then comes the fun part: merge your weapons. Two of the same gun fuse into a meaner one, all the way up to Tier 4. Stack a humble pistol into a hand cannon, or hoard shotguns until something breaks. (It will be the frogs.) Melee is not your backup plan You carry one melee weapon & it lives on right click, on its own cooldown. The katana dashes clean through whatever you point it at, & a kill lets you aim & dash again, keep landing them & a maxed katana carves a line straight through a wave. The knife is a shorter hop that chains from body to body through a crowd. The pole spins, swatting enemy projectiles back the way they came, & at a high enough tier that includes a boss's own shots, straight back into its face. The pond started it It starts with frogs. It does not stay frogs. Tongues, charges, leaps, crocodiles that put their head down & run at you - every few waves something new turns up to ruin your run. Then wave 10 arrives & King Guppy drops in: spits, sweeps, summons, a super jump with a shadow you really want to step out of, & a glob of acid that reshapes the floor. He's the first boss.
