After a busy month of playtesting, it's finally time to reveal the identity of the retro-card game we have been developing, based on a 16-bit Amiga computer title from the 90s ... and that game is ... DONK!
What? Not heard of it? OK, you're not alone! DONK! (the Samurai Duck) was released in 1993 by The Hidden, on the Amiga (and Amiga CD32) computer with relatively little fanfare, and to mixed reviews. Despite being one of the first Amiga games with 50 FPS simultaneous split screen 2 player mode (like the later Sonic games on the Megadrive)
Although it had a slow start, it has evolved a small cult following over the years, with several people saying it was the only game they kept their Amiga CD32 for, and a homebrew Sega Dreamcast version in development in recent years
So back to the present, and this 20th anniversary commemorative card game will be released soon on The Game Crafter!
It plays in a very similar way to the computer game, with you controlling Donk (in 1 player mode - plus Judo Juggs in 2 player co-op or versmode), fighting the evil Eider Down's enemies in the 7 game zones, dodging pits and hazards, collecting power-ups, and trying to find gems to complete the zones, and have a crack at defeating Eider Down himself!
Below are some card pics, look out for it on TGC soon!
