Duck Life 4 Classic
Build a team of racing ducks, learn five skills across six worlds and challenge the Fire Duck in the volcano. Classic recreates the original Flash adventure.
Story
The original Flash game was released on 21 February 2012. One year after genetically modified ducks were banned, the Fire Duck became the undefeated racing champion. Raise a team and travel through six worlds to defeat him. 
Fire Duck is also known as Frank.
World progression
Win each world’s invitation race, enter its three-race tournament and win to unlock the next world. The Volcano replaces the tournament with three key races and the final challenge.
Training
Each skill’s trainer offers a sequence of three minigames. Score earns experience in that skill; collected coins help pay for food and shop items.
Choosing the first duck
Choose a brown, white or yellow starting egg and name the hatchling. Hair and eyes are random. Further eggs can be bought in the world shops.
Team and tournaments
Up to six ducks retain their own skills and energy. Fill three tournament slots; one duck may occupy multiple slots. 
Tournaments explains points and entry.
