Pre-registration for Quack Quack Attack – PEGG Blaster open today
Shanghai, China — April 29, 2026 | Chinese publisher HAOPLAY is thrilled to announce Quack Quack Attack – PEGG Blaster, a casual puzzle game scheduled to launch on iOS and Android later this year. Pre-registration is open from today, promising a whole host of rewards upon the game’s official launch for anyone that signs up.
In Quack Quack Attack – PEGG Blaster, players assume the role of Captain Quack, a duck tasked with helming a magical ark on an oceanic voyage, in a world that’s been devastated by monsters. Quack — along with super-powered avian companions they’ve recruited along the way — must battle dangerous enemies, and overcome many obstacles, on their way to finding a new home for the flock.
Each stage involves players managing a group of birds, as they fire eggs at a variety of adversaries down a pachinko-style board. The goal is to eliminate monsters, and rack up points, by ricocheting eggs from one foe to the next until the board is clear.
Players can optimise their approach on each level with their squad selection: while only five birds can be selected for each stage, there are up to fifty unique birds in the game, across six different classes — Celestial, Cold, Combo, Fire, Lightning, and Strike. Classes interact with one another in different ways, allowing players to try different combinations to find the optimal strategy. Bird stats can be improved through evolving and levelling up, abilities can be altered via the card system, and new equipment can be forged to increase the team’s overall combat power.
In addition to the main campaign, players can hone their skills in the demanding Purgatory Tower, relax and reel in some monsters at the Fishing Ground, or take on other players in the Starry Expedition mode.
Pre-registration is open now on the official Quack Quack Attack – PEGG Blasterwebsite. Anyone who signs up before launch will receive the following rewards when the game is released later this year:
Quack Quack Attack – PEGG Blaster will launch later this year on iOS and Android.

SEATTLE — April 28, 2026 — Drill Core, the roguelite mining strategy simulator from developer Hungry Couch and publisher tinyBuild, explores a new tech biome with today’s launch of ‘The Machine World DLC’ on PC via Steam. Wide-eyed Platform Managers also join the assembly line as Drill Core launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch today.
The well-meaning (but totally notnefarious) family at Drill Core Inc. welcomes new and veteran miners to the rustic depths of the Tech Biome. Descend through uncharted territory where robotic foes, towering boss encounters, and unforeseen events stand in the way of mining crucial resources.
Exploit recruit fresh talent from five new specialists, with their own suite of gameplay abilities. Choose carefully, as once these specialists perish, they will never return. Extract resources during the day, deploy factory-ready drone turrets at night, and experiment with updated builds through the laboratory upgrade branch before calling it a day. Alter gameplay with the Distortion mechanic, sell perks for profit, and conquer greater challenges through 10 new difficulty levels. Join a hard-working (and totally notburnt out) team of Platform Managers as they lead miners, carriers, and guards across grueling expeditions for resources. Repel enemies with sturdy defenses, research cutting-edge innovations, and manage resources effectively to keep the workflow on track.
“Upper management couldn’t contain themselves with ‘The Machine World DLC’ and all the new content it offers,” said Konstantin Burov, Head of Hungry Couch Games. “While the Machine World DLC is exclusive to PC, there’s still plenty of work to go around. We can’t wait to see what revenue Platform Managers on consoles can generate for us.”
Drill Core’s ‘The Machine World DLC’ is available now for Windows PC via Steam. The R’n’D Department also greets novice miners on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S today.
Hungry Couch was founded in April 2019 by CEO Konstantin Burov. In 2021, the studio joined the tinyBuild family before the launch of their debut title, the open-world skypunk sandbox game Black Skylands, in 2023. The studio is now proud to launch 1.0 of its second title, Drill Core.

The Group does not expect the acquisition to have a significant impact on the business outlook for the current fiscal year previously disclosed to the market.
