The Amazing Never-Ending Epic of DUMMY DUCK
Many years ago at a neighbor's house far, far away... I came up with Dummy Duck.
Dummy Duck woke up one day, it seemed like a normal day, but one thing was different. His dog Foo-Foo Didn't have any food. Now Dummy has to make his way downstairs, outside, and away from Foof (that's what Dummy calls Foo-Foo). His only problem is Foo-Foo has called enormous amounts of badniks over for a house warming party. To get rid of them, you swing the back end of a chainsaw around at them. He's so dumb, he doesn't know how to use it the right way. You can also pick up a Yorkie named Mr. Bear who gives you burger bait. Press "B" to use it.
Help Dummy through his house, and out the door! U H - O H ! Foo-Foo is guarding the door! No problem, jump over him while he isn't growling!
(hint: when your'e on the top floor, if you hurry, you can get hit by an anvil. YES THAT'S GOOD!)
When you are outside, you must jump along window sills from one building to another, then make your way through the thick forest, clear the polluted river, and finally make it to the freeway.
Once on the freeway, you drive a drag racer at lightning fast speeds dodging road blocks, holes, and brick walls (walls on a freeway?...YES!).
Once you get off the freeway, you have to find the Hunter. When you do, run up behind him and press "P".If you got him, press "F" and you will have SUPER FLIGHT! That will help you get up that big hill!
When You get up the hill, you meet the hunter again. Do what you did before, get behind him and press "P". Then run by him all the way to the right corner of the cave and press "Z" then run left.
Whoa! Dummy gets warped into candy world land!
Here you'll find all the death traps you love to eat! A hot bubbling vat of chocolate syrup, a spring board into a tank of Jell-Oh. Red Fruit Roll Out wall,bashing burgers, flying fries,ice cream spikes, OH MAN! BUM ME OUT!!
Then you meet the creamiest villain of them all, Hagan Dazz Man! Pick up the spoon, catch the ice cream he throws, and sling it back at him by pressing "B"! Hit him enough times, and he'll start to disappear! When that starts to happen, run by him, and you're home free!
THE END!

Background
Alan Caudel:
- The first Dummy Duck game was originally titled "Off the Page". I came up with the concepts for the game before I had ever heard of Game-Maker. I drew the characters and levels out on sheets of paper, but had no idea how to make computer games. When I saw the ad in a magazine for Game-Maker, I was excited that I could finally bring my ideas to life.
- I think it went under both titles Dummy Duck 1 and Off the Page. And yeah, I didn't really distribute it because it was pretty amateurish.
