Duck Your Friends

A rotating party shooter

Duck Your Friends is an online party shooter for 2 to 8 players on PC. Each round pits first-person shooters on a high deck against third-person duckers below, who must cross a gauntlet of cover to reach a safe haven. The roles rotate each round, so shooters soon have to run too.

Duckers sprint until they’re out of breath, crawl behind cover, and dive between hiding spots. They can shove other runners or carry teammates across the course, sometimes to help and sometimes to troll. Shooters fire down from above; holding the trigger charges a shot that can pass through walls and runners in its line. A shooter who jumps down to the course has 20 seconds to duck the runners before becoming one of them.
