Disco Ducks

When I read the reviews, many wrote about the great music: WRONG in my opinion. A flock of ducks sounding like the chipmunks is not my choice for good disco music. The game task is great and can be somewhat challenging. The objectives change from level to level but the player is allowed to get extra help in the form of bombs, skateboards, disco balls, etc Try it just to see if it is worthy to put on your dance card! I downloaded just out of curiosity and I’m glad I did.

Disco Ducks has very entertaining gameplay with some of the catchiest music I’ve ever heard in mobile games (like the kind you can listen to on loop that doesn’t get old or annoying after a while). It also has great SFX during gameplay, which goes very nicely with the background music! Overall art style, animations, and character designs are incredible and stand out from other match-3 type games. The art style of the Ducks themselves kinda remind me of the new DuckTales (2017) series, which is a plus for me anyway even if that style wasn’t intentional. ^u^ The game gets somewhat challenging as you play through, but at appropriate amounts. It gives you the opportunity to try better next time, but not in a “hand holding” way like some match-3 games do - which I really appreciate. The level difficulty as you progress is just very well-balanced! I don’t normally review games - only because I’m terrible at finding the right words or explaining why a game is WORTH playing beyond “It’s super fun!” But Disco Ducks had such an effect on me that I wanted to try my absolute best to give it a great review with positive feedback. :3

Disco Ducks is a really enjoyable treat for anyone who loves disco music and the 70s and 80s, especially for those who grew up during that time. I have rated it with 4 stars instead of 5 because the music, while good, is the same song over and over again. I expected that there would be a different disco song for each level, or maybe a variety within each level, not just one throughout the entire game for every level. What a shame: There are so many wonderful disco songs that were written. Another reason I gave it only 4 stars is because this app, like so many apps, tries to maneuver everyone into buying more and more boosters and coins. Although it is not as ruthlessly misleading and expensive to play as many other apps, it is nonetheless still aggressively deceptive. Also, like so many other apps today, you should not let kids who don’t know any better play it unsupervised. They might end up generating a $500 bill. Warn the kids. Lastly, if the player takes enough time, he or she can learn how to win the levels without spending a lot. Given enough time, the player can even learn to win without using the boosters, however a lot of boosters are offered at certain times free of charge during play. End
