Fun and simple. It could use a live point counter, a countdown timer, and a way to at least pause (if not "Exit to Main Menu", too). A pixel font would also be nice.
Finding out that the eggs exploded was such a good moment! Visuals were nice and colorful. One thing was that at first there's nothing to indicate how long is left of the level and I wasn't sure if it was endless or going to stop (until it did) - a countdown timer or something would be really cool!
Nice game. Would recommend adding some more sound effects, especially when getting your score displayed.
the game is very simple, but it plays on my nostalgic feelings, the game has good graphics and effects
Basic but does the job.
Liked the cooked chicken though not sure why an egg nukes them!
I did wonder if it was never ending but the level did finish eventually - may be put a timer in?
And speed up the scoring as quite slow getting from 0 to 1400+
Well done
Thanks for trying it out and for the feedback - appreciate it.
You're right about a timer of sorts - there are actually a total of 154 ducks. Agrred about the score counter! :)
Fun game! Keep working on that!
Thanks very much! Appreciate it.
Okay, so, I really like the visuals, the vignette and the bright yellow menu are really neat. The gameplay is simple but fun, though, I’m a bit confused. Why do the ducks sometimes get grilled into cooked chicken? Why does that happen at the other side of the screen while I’m shooting ducks somewhere else? And somehow either the hit boxes are a bit off or the point counters block the targets (Just my guess), but a lot of times it doesn’t react to me shooting them… Otherwise pretty neat. Is there any goal at the end or a counter for a round? Seemed to go endless? But maybe I’m just impatient, haha
Hey, thanks for the feedback - I appreciate it!
So the idea behind the grilling sprite is that when you shoot an egg that spawns, it explodes and cooks nearby ducks.
About this bug - do you remember if you had the game on fullscreen or was it playing in a smaller window? Good suggestions for the possible causes too - thanks. I've not actually encountered the bug myself but I'll keep attempting to replicate. Maybe it's something to do with how the specific browser (presuming you played it in the browser?) renders things in the HTML canvas. Could you please let me know if you used Chrome or FF or something else?
But yeah, thanks for the time to check this out!
Sure thing! I used Firefox. I can try it again with another browser to check later, though. And it wasn’t fullscreen
Ok sweet - thanks for that!
