Quack Quack Attack is the new Pachinko-style puzzler that's hitting closed beta today

Pocket Gamer RSS Feed3 min read(3 months ago)

Overview & Key Takeaways

There are plenty of great new upcoming mobile games to keep your eyes on this year. But one which has a bit of a stranger concept is Chinese publisher Haoplay's Quack Quack Blaster. How strange? Well, try mixing up both adorable cartoon ducks, casual puzzling and er- pachinko-style shooting? It's certainly a wacky combination, and one which is about to launch into closed beta on both iOS and Android. You play as Captain Quack, who, accompanied by a hand-picked team of avian allies, will blast his way through the forces of evil which took over the world fifty years ago. ... [MORE]

  • Quack Quack Attack's closed beta is set to launch today

  • The casual pachinko-style puzzler sees you working to rack up ridiculous scores by blasting enemies

There are plenty of great new upcoming mobile games to keep your eyes on this year. But one which has a bit of a stranger concept is Chinese publisher Haoplay's Quack Quack Blaster. How strange? Well, try mixing up both adorable cartoon ducks, casual puzzling and er- pachinko-style shooting?

It's certainly a wacky combination, and one which is about to launch into closed beta on both iOS and Android. You play as Captain Quack, who, accompanied by a hand-picked team of avian allies, will blast his way through the forces of evil which took over the world fifty years ago.

How do you do that? By blasting them apart peggle-style and ricocheting your shots around the board. And if you think that sounds appealing, you can sign up for the Quack Quack Attack closed beta on their official website right now! Just hurry, because the closed beta wraps up on May 29th.

Quacked up

I don't know what you want me to tell you about Quack Quack Attack, other than that the excessive sound effects give me a bit of a headache. This is a strange, wacky take on the puzzle genre, but one that I've no doubt will appeal to many of you looking for a bit of that dopamine hit from racking up ridiculous scores.

I'm afraid that for the rest of us, this may hit too many of the same points that many mobile puzzlers do. And the addition of mechanics such as summoning and upgrading isn't quite enough to make Quack Quack Attack stand out for me. But with full launch set to arrive on June 11th, it could be that this egg is fit to be hatched by then.

In the meantime, if you're looking for more conventional ways to train your brain, why not check out our list of the best puzzle games on iOS to find some of our top picks for brain-busters?

Game of Thrones: Dragonfire ties into season three finale with limited-time event

After the disastrous reception of the Game of Thrones finale way back in 2019, it seemed as if the franchise was done on television. But after the dramatic success of both A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon, it's no surprise Game of Thrones: Dragonfire has been tying back into these newfound high points! And if you've been following House of the Dragon, you can now enjoy a limited-time event, available until August 24th, set to tie into the season three finale of the show. This event will see all the previously limited dragons return to the Hatchery, each modelled on their appearance in the show. ...

Lil' Guardsman is a Papers Please-style deduction adventure with you as an unlikely town guard📱 Mobile

Lil' Guardsman is a Papers Please-style deduction adventure with you as an unlikely town guard

While Papers, Please invoked a really grim and dystopian style of gaming, for better or for worse, many other developers have taken a slightly lighter view on the subject. Case in point: the upcoming deductive sim Lil' Guardsman, which is set to release on iOS and Android this winter, puts you in the shoes of the bane of all adventurers. In Lil' Guardsman, you play as the twelve-year-old Lil, tasked with covering your father's shift as, unsurprisingly, a guardsman at the gate of a city called the Sprawl. You'll need to interrogate various visitors, ranging from wizards to cyclopes, and decide whether to let them in, jail them or deal with them in some other way. ...

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls set to close service in autumn📱 Mobile

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls set to close service in autumn

Well, it's about that time again. Yes, sadly we have to report that another fan-favourite mobile game is set to shut its doors. This time, the victim is none other than Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. And unfortunately, you don't have long to jump in and have a go, because end-of-service is set for September 3rd. A side-scrolling platformer in the vein of the classic Castlevania games, especially Symphony of the Night, Grimoire of Souls already has an interesting history. Slated to shutter back in 2020, Grimoire of Souls would instead make its way exclusively to Apple Arcade without any monetisation elements. ...
