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.
