About Tarduck

Tarduck is a tactical extraction shooter where you navigate maps to scavenge loot, manage your health, and defeat bosses to ship your project. You control your character using WASD to move and the mouse to aim, with specific keys for reloading, healing, and interacting with the environment. The game features a detailed damage model where you must monitor six independent body-part health pools and manage your inventory weight to maintain mobility. Your primary goal is to survive encounters with various enemy types and successfully extract with valuable gear.

This game stands out for its strategic depth, requiring you to balance combat against resource management and stamina. It is well-suited for players who enjoy high-stakes tactical gameplay and boss encounters that reward careful preparation. Sessions typically last until you either extract or fall in combat. This project was created using AI as part of a game jam.
