Wellington, New Zealand – 1 December 2020 – Leading games publisher PikPok® today announced the release of its most recent free to play mobile game, Clusterduck.
The quirky quacky title was conceived at one of PikPok’s internal “Game Jam” weeks, where members from all the different disciplines within the company, including those that are not traditionally directly involved with the game development process such as analytics, graphic design or marketing, come together to work on self-initiated projects. In some cases, these projects such as Clusterduck are moved into full production and released alongside other mainstream titles.
Clusterduck is an entertaining and easy to play collection game that encourages the player to breed the weirdest and most outrageous ducks possible. Clusterduck is also a game about decisions, choosing which ducks to sacrifice “down the hole” so players can breed even weirder ducks.
Game features include:
218,107,949,875,200 possible duck combinations!
An in-game ”Ducktionary” that allows you to keep track of duck bodies, wings and heads in your collection
252 unique quack sound effects
Game art created by the talented artist behind the successful Swords webcomic (www.swordscomic.com)

The best engineers and fighters can now challenge each other in the Survivors League
Targem Games and Gaijin Entertainment announce the release of Content Update 0.11.20 “Clean Island” for the post apocalyptic online vehicular action Crossout. It brings a new PvP map “Clean Island”, ranked battles mode “Survivors league” and exhibition for test ranges built by the players.
Clean island is a small piece of land that hosts a water purification science lab and production facility. Players fight for this object on a multilayered map that is full of decaying industrial buildings, rusty machinery and unreliable bridges. The water around the island is quite dangerous. It heats up the armoured vehicle and could damage its parts, while in some areas, the water temperature exceeds boiling point.
The special event “Survivors league” is a time-limited ranked mode that will be available until December, 14th. Battles take place based on the “Capture” scenario in the “6 versus 6” format, and players are allowed to use custom-built armoured cars with power levels between 6000 and 8000 points. Good battle performance is rewarded with rank score, the best players are promoted to higher leagues – from Iron to Gold – and get unique items.
The in-game Exhibition, where Crossout players share their vehicle blueprints and vote for the best designs can now also host blueprints of custom-build test ranges.
The full list of new content and other changes is available at the official Crossout website:https://crossout.net
