In a world where 2022 was remembered for titles like Elden Ring, Vampire Survivors, and Persona 5 Royal, an unexpected competitor has emerged for the Game of the Year title: Placid Plastic Duck Simulator. This game, which captured the attention of players and received an impressive rating of 95.36% on Steam, revolves around the simplicity of watching plastic ducks float. But over time, the developers have decided to take the experience to a new level.
The same game, now multiplayer
The spiritual successor to the original game, titled Slowly Sliding Ducks, introduces a series of additions that significantly expand gameplay. Maintaining the charming aesthetic of the little ducks, the game now includes an online PvP mode, where up to 16 players can participate in frantic water battles. The trailer reveals that players will be able to face off in scenarios that include bombs, ice, and football strategies, evoking the madness and fun of titles like Fall Guys.
An interesting aspect of Slowly Sliding Ducks is its responsible approach to microtransactions. According to Turbolento Games, all cosmetic items can be unlocked through gameplay, and no one will be at a disadvantage in competitions due to mere monetary acquisition, as accessories do not influence player performance. This highlights a commitment to fairness in gaming, features that are being well received in the gaming community.
A release date for Slowly Sliding Ducks has not yet been announced, but expectations are high. SIf the developers meet the enthusiasm they have generated, they could be on track to offer an experience that, although unusual, promises to be both fun and competitive.
