I loved the whole vibe of a duck castle (or dungeon, per the title), and Bernard the snail is an amazing creature! I love the voice acting! The little jump noises, hurt noises, and "oh yeah"s are fantastic and really make the game more than the sum of it's parts. Fantastic job!

BERNARD IS A BEAST!!! Loved the whole game. The sound and music were awesome but oh my god the particle effect combined with bloom was amaaazing!!!! Just loved the game!!! Thanks for this amazing game!
I would really appreciate it if you could play and rate my game as well. Thanks a lot! Cheers!!
The visual, sounds and the game idea of more ducks is less courage is really nice.
It was quite annoying to control the character (especially wall jumping). I get, that the more ducks there are the more difficult is to control the character, but even with 0 or 1 duck the controls didn't appeal to me.
Aside from the controls, pretty good job with the game :)
PS: also the game window was super big for my monitor :/
Cool! I love the graphics and sound! And it's pretty interesting mechanic with courage!
Good Game. Jumping mechanic needs some work however good submission. Game rated :)
Really great game with really good graphics and i loved the concept
There were some bugs with the animations and the jump felt a bit floaty. Other than that i had a really good experience.
Really great sounds and visuals! Very entertaining!
One problem I had though was that it was hard to tell whether I was hitting the ducks since they didn't react in any way to getting shot. There were a few times when there was a duck on a ledge and I kept shooting it for a while until I realized I had been hitting the very tip of the ledge under it's feet.
Other then that though, very solid game!
The wall jumping is a little short, but I guess they're a snail so that kinda makes sense. But my god, I LOVE the sound effects they're hilarious!!! Especially the honk the ducks made when they die XD
I really love the game. The sound effects are nice and i like the levels but the wall jumping is really bad.
BEST VISUALS IN THE JAM. And also a very solid and polished game. I really like the art style and those evil ducks hahahaha. As only little complain, I think that the courage mechanic is a little bit underutilized. Anyway, really really good professional work dude, greetings!!!
An incredibly charming use of sound that, that together with the general direction and tone elevated the experience beyond the sometimes awkward-intentional or not-platforming controls.
- My favorite part was that first duck death. After the lovely main menu, the tone was all set, and had me playing through and was glad to finish it.
The art was also satisfyingly squishy and the presentation in general fit together really well.
- For my experience playing, I didn't feel there was difficulty or main engagement from the platforming. So it might have been harder to implement, but wall climbing where your character was just slower up the wall with more ducks would have felt more comfortable for the pretty casual journey through the game. Additionally just holding to shoot would have been nice. Together that would have made me even happier going through the game.
