Description
Flightless is a puzzle-platformer where you and a friend can control ducks that have had their wings clipped as punishment for stealing. You are sent into dungeons to collect enough gems to pay off your crimes, armed with nothing more than a magic ladder.
You can’t jump or fly – that’s the puzzle. But your magic ladder can smash enemies, activate switches, bend round corners, go through teleporters and most importantly, collect gems for you.
2-player-mode can be activated or deactivated at any time without interrupting the game. You can split up and explore separately or work together to solve puzzles.
Play the demo right here and then vote for it on Steam Greenlight.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will it be free? This is going to be a full-size game, much bigger than the free games on nitrome.com. That means it will cost more to make than the advertising revenue on nitrome.com can support. We can assure you however that it will be worth every penny.
- Will it be released on Android/iOS?/XBox/Playstation/Ouya/etc? Our primary target for release is Steam. After the game is released we will consider options for porting the game to other platforms.
- What will Flightless actually be released on? We'd primarily be releasing Flightless for PC and Mac on Steam. We will then look into Linux and possibly other platforms.
- Will it be released outside of the Steam store? If the game does well on Steam, then we will look at bringing it to out on other stores that support digital release.
- Will it run on my ancient computer? If you can get the demo to run on your computer, especially in 2 player mode, you can be sure the released game will work on your computer.
- When is Super Feed Me coming out? Please go to the Super Feed Me iPhone page and ask over there.
- When is it coming out? There is much work yet to do on the game and we don’t want to rush through it. We will tell you of new updates to the game and you can also sign up to the Nitrome Newsletter.
- Can I help/are you looking for beta testers? We did do beta-testing to develop the demo with assistance of some very helpful and trustworthy fans. We have no plans for more beta-testing at the moment, so there is no need to contact us on the matter. For the time being however we would ask you to help spread the word and get as many people as possible voting for the game on Steam Greenlight.
