Charlie the Duck 2.4

This is a side-scrolling platform that will remind you of games like Super Mario Brothers, except for the fact that you're a duck. Because you're a duck, when you jump in a water-filled pit you don't die like you would in any other side-scrolling game. Instead, you just swim around.Charlie (your duck) goes across the screen avoiding enemies like frogs and bees while trying to collect diamonds and coins. And, like any good side-scrolling game, there is a lot of jumping around on platforms that float mysteriously in the air.One thing to watch out for when you play this game is that as a duck, you don't have a whole lot of offense. There aren't any power-ups that will let you to grow really big or throw fireballs, so your attacks are limited to jumping in the air and stomping your enemies' heads.
