That lineage is the wider takeaway. Play’n GO is treating personality and humor as a repeatable content pillar, not a one-off gimmick, and Frank’s suburban garden feud reads as another entry in a deliberately recurring style.
The premise leans into that identity. “Frank is outnumbered in his own garden and refuses to accept it, and that came through in the artwork early,” Wallentin said, describing a setting in which a grumpy gnome defends his lawn against the gang next door.

About Steamtower
“That’s where I think Game in a Box becomes really interesting,” Curwen says. “The ambition isn’t to use technology to make average games faster. It’s to give talented creators the freedom to try more ideas and hopefully produce better games.”
As work on Game in a Box progressed, Yggdrasil began to see an opportunity extending beyond its own production process.
Historically, building a game studio meant putting all the necessary components in place – from developers and mathematicians to QA and compliance, as well as the underlying systems and integrations. Alternatively, a business looking to enter the market could acquire an existing studio.
What is Steamtower?
While the original game took place in a more casual hunting environment, Duck Hunters 2 shifts the action deeper into the woods and introduces a more chaotic setting. The ducks, previously depicted as targets, now appear armed and ready to retaliate. The tonal escalation matches Nolimit City’s house style, but the meaningful development sits in the feature layer.
The clearest example is the bonus structure, where the sequel widens the range of upgrades tied to its three free-spin tiers. Free spins activate when three, four or five scatter symbols land. Three scatters award seven Duck Hunt Spins, four scatters trigger eight Hawk Eye Spins and five scatters unlock ten Big Game Spins. Each tier grants progressively more upgrade selections, which is where the sequel’s expanded potential is concentrated rather than in the base game.
Nolimit City has also leaned harder into optional purchase mechanics, a defining part of its recent output. Duck Hunters 2 offers an extensive collection of optional purchase features. These span direct bonus buys, targeted feature purchases, and a booster menu that resets starting conditions.
