One of my friends told me about these G2A Steam key bundles for sale for like 5 dollars or so, the one I got was the "VIP" bundle which guaranteed 4 games out of 5 would be worth more than 20 dollars. Unfortunately I think G2A, as good a business as they are, may be running some kind of weird scam - that or I just got profoundly unlucky with my codes. Not one, not two, but three of my games were very clearly (and later verified by a friend of mine to be) mobile games taken off the Google Play store and flipped on Steam at an asking price of 50 dollars apiece just to qualify as games that satisfied the conditions they set out with their bundle.

Investigative nitpicking aside, this game seemed to be one of a similar ilk that just kind of happens to have some nice elements. It's just sort of a nice pointless platformer; I like some of the levels a lot as some of them end up having surprisingly tight and satisfying platforming segments, but some elements of the level design and especially the timing of the enemy bullets really feel like they punish you for going too fast, not to mention the generally slippery controls and loud, impossible-to-adjust-the-volume-of sound effects.

Duck Mission is certainly a game that you can buy for way too much money, but just play a Flash game or something
