THAT ENDING IS INSANE!! Had a really fun time throughout, my only criticism is that the speed boosts in the final stage of the race don't really feel as satisfying as the speed boosts in the first two. But otherwise one of my faves so far!

Submitted

Good game! Nice job! The perspective of the races is really impressive!

Was pretty fun, reminds me of the old flash games, definitely would play it on xmas evening back in the day.  Kinda lacks in visuals and audio(didn't hear the audio, idk if there is one tho). Pretty simple and fun for what its worth, liked it!(check out our game too if you can /smile)

This is one strong duck!

Funny theme, Loved the intro video too ! Love it 

Submitted

This was a lot of fun! I was floored when I saw the first terrain change, the upgrade system was a great way to keep the player hooked and encourage one more run as they worked their way through the game. I really loved the art direction and the music as well, all around a great entry!

Submitted

Awesome job! The presentation on this is amazing, love the art, music and fun aesthetic of this game. Really enjoyed upgrading my boat and giving my all in the race. Great work!

Submitted

This is lovely, I really like the style, ideas and overall vibe of the game. really really nice! :)

What have i become , my sworn enemy , it was me all along.. Amazing game great job!

One of my favorite games from the jam. This reminded me of many games I played as a child where you launch yourself out of a cannon or something and then try to get as far right as possible. In those games you could also upgrade your stuff and every run you would get a little further. Very addictive gameplay loop.

I loved how goofy the game is and upgrading everything is very cool. Love the progression.

Submitted

The idea behind this is so goofy I love it. Would be nice if some things are highlighted more (boost pads, upgradable stats) and if we can see how much material we need for the next upgrade.

Nice art! I love how much life the upgrade screen looks!

Why is the duck so angry at us :(

Submitted

This is a genius game. Every section is engaging, and conquering each one leaves me feeling powerful, even knowing that damn duck is going to grind me into paste in the next leg. Just super super fun, great work.

Also the journey from "Orwellian" to "Orvillian" 🤌 perfecto

Very satisfying, very well done, and very catchy music! I love how you start with a boat that literally doesn't move, and THAT ENDING-

Submitted

Race Against a Duck was super fun! It reminded me a lot of flash games from when the internet was fun, and I had a great time with it.

Submitted

Fun game! Proud to say that I beat nature's all-terrain-vehicle. One thing I really liked was the pace of the leveling. This game does a really good job at having the player start out feeling super underpowered and having them claw their way up bit by bit. So satisfying when you finally start to catch up. Really good stuff, nice job!

I was honestly impressed with just the boat race and then the reveal that it's only part one of three was super impressive! I thought the pacing was really good and buying the upgrades felt satisfying just like in an old flash game. I also liked that you went for different movement schemes for each type of race, though I'll echo a commenter below and say that the air race was probably the least interesting (and I think I liked skateboarding the most!). The other little nitpick I'll give is that the upgrade UI was a bit confusing. Really nice work. Probably the most pure fun I've had with an entry so far!

Submitted

Really great work getting all this content into this neat little package. The duck may be the biggest cheater in the world, but I still really enjoyed beating him. I love how quickly the early levels go once you start to progress.

As a side note, I'm really impressed with all the fitting words you came up with for the ability levels; we used a similar naming for our abilities but we only had 4 and still had trouble!

Nice work :)

this was such a fun little game! it feels just like it would’ve been a flash game i would’ve tried to get away with playing on the school computer back in the day. the gameplay is very addicting, trying for just one more attempt! i actually beat the game before getting all the upgrades, but kept playing anyways just so i could unlock all of them. 😅 the art was very, very cute too, and the music SLAPPED and fit each “mode” of transportation very well! great job, and good luck on space crab vs!

It took me a while, but I managed to become the new champion. Nice game, I'll also look at the project on steam, nice work guys
