Evaluation

ZAKO NO AHIRU launched on November 21, 2025 as a complete, self-contained climbing action game. The developer shipped several post-launch patches through December 15, 2025 (versions 1.0.1 through 1.0.3) addressing bug fixes and gameplay adjustments. On June 24, 2026, the developer released two companion products — an Original Soundtrack (5 music tracks) and a Voice Collection (voice lines plus an exclusive audio drama) — along with a bundle called "ZAKO NO AHIRU COMPLETE EDITION" that packages the base game with both of these items. These are supplementary media products (music and audio content), not gameplay expansions or DLC that adds new game content. No new stages, modes, or gameplay features were announced or delivered. The developer has not communicated any plans for additional game content. The Complete Edition bundle signals that the developer considers the game's content package to be fully assembled. No further content has been announced since June 24, 2026.

About this game

Exert your energy to climb up, you looo~ser♡

Yahoo yahoo♡ I'm here to play with you♡

Let's take on the challenge of "ZAKO NO AHIRU" together♡

I heard it's an insanely tough game!

You have to control a stubborn little ducky and climb to the top of the mountain♡

I can't wait to see you struggle and suffer♡♡♡

♡How to play♡

It's super easy to operate!

Just make the little ducky spray water from its mouth with a "pew pew" sound♡

Then you can fly right over to the next platform~!

But... Nothing is always in plain sailing…

Because there's a chance of moving backward, it's actually pretty tough!!!

And you might mess up and fall off, forcing you to start all over again~!

Putting unnecessary pressure on someone is so lame, isn't it?

But I won't let any foolish mistakes slide, you know ♡

My sharp tongue is suuuper—powerful, so you better be prepared~

Giving up so easily is just pathetic!

You've got to hold on till the very end ♡♡♡

Amazing!!!

I knew you could clear it ♡♡♡

Are you looking at me? Since when???

I-I'm not happy for you or anything...!

♡Rescue UFO incoming!?♡

There are times when everyone just can't hold on any longer, right?

Someone will offer you incredibly strong support~♡

Bu~t~ then!

All your efforts and sense of achievement will vanish into vain~!

Even so, do you still want to press it? The for·bid·den but·ton♡
