Afil Games Are Back At It Again
Shock horror. Barely a week goes by without another Afil Games release landing on Xbox. Whether it’s sheep, zoo animals, magical creatures or now a family of hungry ducks, the studio has very much carved out its own cosy little niche on the storefront.
Snack and Quack: Duckling Steps sticks closely to that formula too, focusing on bite-sized puzzle solving wrapped up in colourful visuals and cheerful vibes.
The setup is simple enough. You’ll help a mother duck guide her ducklings through water-inspired stages, carefully pushing and positioning them towards scattered pieces of bread. Naturally, things become trickier the further you progress, requiring more planning and smarter movement to clear each stage cleanly.
Thirty Levels Of Feathered Puzzle Solving
There are 30 levels included, each built around classic Sokoban-style ideas where every move matters.
That means pushing ducklings into position, avoiding getting stuck and slowly figuring out the cleanest route through each compact puzzle space. It’s the sort of game that aims to relax rather than frustrate, offering a calm little brain workout instead of controller-snapping difficulty spikes.
If you’ve played previous Afil Games releases, you’ll probably already know exactly what kind of experience this is going for – simple concepts, accessible gameplay and an easy-going atmosphere that works well for short sessions. Don’t expect to be dreaming of this one weeks and months down the line…
Another Cozy Little Xbox Addition
While Snack and Quack: Duckling Steps probably isn’t trying to reinvent puzzle gaming, there’s definitely room for these smaller, lighter experiences on Xbox.
And for just £4.19 per version (Xbox Series X|S Optimised, Xbox One, Windows PC), this latest duck-themed puzzler may prove hard for cosy game fans to resist.
Snack and Quack: Duckling Steps is available now on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows PC through the Xbox Store.
