Flightless
Nitrome serves up this plucky ducky demo of their upcoming puzzle platform adventure that serves to be a solid little experience in its own right. Unable to fly, your fine feathered protagonist (or plural, if playing with friends) needs to use a magical ladder to find his way through a hostile environment filled with gems, monsters, and secrets, where every room is a puzzle... and dangerous!

i figured it out... the room i was talking about above.
u need to use the second player as well, cant be done with just one
Just ended, The game was really good, it sucked that it was just a demo and it does not allow us to fight the first boss.
Nitrome posted a teaser image of this game MONTHS ago, and I've been anxious for it ever since. While I'm skeptical because, like Dora, I noticed that there's no mention of when it will be out or how big it will actually be, I'm also VERY encouraged because hey, Nitrome is making a FULL game and not just a quick Flash product. I've been a little worried because they've been sporadic on their game releases recently, but if this is the reason, then I'm content. Vote added, now to wait on Steam.
Nice! Already voted :)
So. Hideously. Addicted.
This is baaasically my game soulmate. The art style, the music, the gameplay, the ducks (ERMAHGERD SO CUTE)...!
Perfection.
Is there any additional content you get to see if you get all 50 gems? I'm at 49 so I guess there's another secret room I didn't find.
The game is really good and I look forward to its eventual Steam release (assuming it's not JUST the boss that's added to that version. :P)
I got all 50 and nothing special happened.
Just Vote and Explore
@Pablo All of the puzzles can be solved by one player. Using your ladder to get the gems is the key to the most difficult puzzles. They are not impossible.
@Regy Rusty: Right now, no. This is just a demo for the full game they are making for Steam Greenlight. If you want to get more after the 50 gems, you'll have to Vote on Steam....and then wait for the full game to be released.
I couldn't figure out how to complete the game with 50 coins without using a second player in one of the secret rooms. The one with the platform that goes down and to the left, and one at the bottom that goes from right to left over the spikes. I managed to get every other one on single player though.
You don't need to use a second player to solve any of the puzzles. It helps, but they all can be done with a single player. I've completed it about three times already without ever having to bring in a second assistant.
For the room with the two levers:
You don't need a second player. Just use a ladder! Put the ladder on the platform that moves down and wait for it to be pushed to the very bottom next to the spikes. Then go right and press the second switch. The platform at the bottom will push the ladder to the end, getting the gem without ever having someone to go down there!
I was waiting for this to be announced again. I was beginning to think maybe Nitrome forgot about it, but normally, when they delay a preview, it's because something epic is going on in Nitrome Towers. Not sure if I'll be buying it (no Steam Greenlight account), but I will definitely consider it.
