About this game
Darkwing Duck investigates crime scenes and tracks down F.O.W.L. agents. Move through the stages with jumps, use the gas gun against enemies and take advantage of hooks or ledges to hang above the ground. The cape also provides a defensive action. Special-gas adaptors change the gun’s effect and consume gas energy. Only one adaptor can be carried at a time, so picking up a different kind changes the tool available for the route and the villain ahead.
