Playing with others

Independent game instances exchange checks and items through Archipelago. The mod hides the game's native multiplayer menu; it does not add shared-pool co-op. No game session was executed for this review.

Known scope and limitations

• This review covers APWorld and Duckipelago mod v0.3.2 for the Windows Steam game. The guide requires .NET 6 and MelonLoader; it names loader version 7.3, but a complete compatible game/loader version matrix is not established.
• Install the APWorld on the generator and use the release YAML for your slot. Follow the maintainer guide to install MelonLoader, launch the game once, then copy the archive's Mods and UserLibs folders into the game directory. Enter the room host:port, slot and password in the title-screen overlay before starting a new game.
• The mod disables save and resume controls. The maintainer reports disconnection crashes; the in-game instruction to save and reload conflicts with those disabled controls. Persistent-session recovery is not established, so use a separate installation or backed-up game data when trying this release.
• The World treats nine column unlocks as completion. The client signals victory when its current unique-duck candidate list empties, before the final spawn and check. That does not exactly represent the documented collection objective.
• Collection candidates can accumulate duplicates after unlocks and check notifications. A missing game duck falls back to a random spawn, and checks are submitted before the game confirms the spawn. Complete recovery from failed spawns or failed item application is not demonstrated.
• Room passwords are displayed unmasked, written to ApConnection.txt and included in connection logs. Remove credentials before sharing these files. Protected transport and automatic credential redaction were not established for the reviewed client.
• The inspected distribution contains mod/client DLLs, duck identifiers and notices; no game executable or audiovisual asset bundle was identified. Critical DLL paths were inspected statically. Full rebuild correspondence, dependency notice coverage and compatibility with newer game versions remain unverified.
