You would think ducks, with their aerodynamic abilities, would be immune to the menace that is a strong gust of wind. Alas, four little ducklings and their mother are about to learn the hard way in Duck Quest, a pleasant adventure game by Waffle Friday Studios, that a breeze is nothing to mess with. As Mother Duck, move with the [arrow] keys. The park is a wide open space so you'll have to search all over and interact with obstacles by pressing [E] and to peruse your inventory click on your [W] key then hit [enter] if you wish to use that item, or want to finish dialogue. During the hunt quacking with [Q] while standing still will reveal if one of your ducklings is in your area.
There's a healthy dose of walking in this adorable game and unfortunately Mother Duck is a lethargic waddler so be prepared for a slow pace during your adventure. Still, there's nothing wrong with a calm jaunt through the park, even if it is only in a game. The story is sweet, light hearted, and long enough to keep you entertained while going about your day and something that can be shared with even the littlest of your household for a nice bonding experience. In short, it's a quacktacular.
Thanks to Delilah for sending this one in!

Duck Quest: Walkthrough
PSA: WHEN CROSSING SCREENS TO LEFT/RIGHT, AVOID THE TOP-/BOTTOM-MOST PART OF SCREEN. You may get stuck. Many times.
Duckling?
Duckling near Sax Player:
Get FLEAS from the trash can at the start screen.
Go north 1 screen and use FLEAS on Punit the dog.
Go south 2 screens and east 1 screen. Use FLEAS on the Vagrant Drummer, who joins you. I guess you like being followed around.
Go west 2 screens and north 1 screen. Talk to the Sax Player (you have to be right next to him, no box in between). Enjoy jamming, retrieve duckling.
(Careful walking onto this screen from now on�easy to get stuck. If you have to approach it, try entering from above or below, not from sides.)
Duckling.
Duckling near Park Entrance:
Talk to the Painter (east side of the park, just left of the start screen). Talk to him again to get directions to Top Hat Dude.
Go 1 screen west and 2 screens south, to the park entrance. Talk to Top Hat Dude.
Go 2 screens west and 1 screen north, to the berry bush (and aesthetically pleasing trash can) on the west side of the park. Get a BASEBALL CAP from the berry bush.
Go back to the park entrance and use the BASEBALL CAP on Top Hat Dude. Duckling retrieved!
Duckling♥
Duckling near Oak Tree (NE park corner):
(You must have already retrieved the duckling near the Sax Player. See �Duckling?� above.)
Go back to the Sax Player. Wow, that�s a real jam sesh. Talk to the Sax Player to get some MONEY. Since for some reason you can�t use it on the hot dog man (he probably discriminates against ducks), instead:
Go 2 screens east and 2 screens south, to the Vending Machine. Quack at the kid (press Q) to scare him off. Use MONEY on the Vending Machine and get an epic product placement MOUNTAIN DEW®.
(You may also want to pick up the HOT DOG VOUCHER that the kid dropped.)
Go 4 screens west to the Balloon Seller. Use MOUNTAIN DEW® on the Balloon Seller. Get BALLOON.
Go 4 screens east and 4 screens north, to the NE corner of the park. Use BALLOON on the oak tree. Hooray, duckling!
(If this is your third duckling, it will say that this one is your favorite. This game makes a point of giving extra love to the middle child. Guess we don�t love our ducklings equally around here!)
Duckling!
Duckling near Hot Dog Stand
With your HOT DOG VOUCHER in beak, go to the hot dog stand (1 screen south of the NW corner of the park).
If you don�t already have a HOT DOG VOUCHER, go to the vending machine (SE corner of park) and quack at the boy (press Q). Pick up the VOUCHER (careful not to stand on it or you can�t pick it up).
Use the VOUCHER on the Hot Dog Man. Get a duckling. Hooray!
Enjoy the super-adorable end animation. D�aww.
