I never thought hitting ducks with emojis could be so satisfying hahaha. I judged you wrong when I saw the cover

Good job.

addictive game. it is a lot of fun. Missing an option to lower or mute the sound/music. Is there a lose condition or is it just a "cozy" game to kill time?

Developer

Thanks for the Feedback :)

There is no lose condition, just an endless cozy game :)

Very fun little gameplay loop! The speed and arc of the projectile emojis felt very satisfying.

This game is ducking brilliant. I have never seen a more graceful death animation. I am awful at this game and awful at Angry Birds, maybe I just need to level up my physics based bird game skills. Great work!

Thanks for Playing my game :)

I loved your game its very cool with lemon and zombie concept :)

Submitted(+1)

This game has the most hilarious death animation I've seen so far in the jam. Some sort of line to show where you are aiming would be excellent but overall it was fun nice job.

This is a fun and cute game, with an interesting visual style. I think it would benefit greatly from a line showing the direction you're pulling, or maybe a hint at the resulting trajectory, as it was easy to get lost and confused about which direction the ball would go. Creative use of the emoji graphics. Well done on your submission!

Developer

Thank you for playing my game :)

I liked your game a lot. Nice art and Music choice :)

Why is this so addictive. Also I dont know why I kept trying to shoot the guy under the umbrella instead of the ducks.
The animations and the art is well done. also love how the projectiles trajectory is so smooth. Good Work

Developer

Thank You so much for playing.

I like your game. Great Job on your submission :)

I like that you added a cloud of smoke to the machine, the projectile trajectory is easy to predict.
I like the sounds, music could be a bit louder.
Cool game

i loved this game, i got stuck playing for at least 10 minutes before i forced myself to move on, haha, defienitly gonna save a  link to this, the only thing that maybe was a little annoying was that the FX was a little too loud compared to the music, but overall, good job!

Developer

Thank you for playing:)

Loved your game, especially with various enemy types :)

I love how goofy this concept is haha

Thanks for the Comment :)

I loved your game concept too :)

well done on your submission.

Since there doesn't seem to be a lose condition, this is actually an idle game (some ducks collide with the smiley on the catapult so all you need is wait for your score to climb)... Maybe only angry smileys (when the ball has been shot) should actually collide with the birds?

It would be nice if "trick shots" would be honored, like hitting multiple ducks with one shot, or hitting another duck with a smiley that was reflected by a first hit.

Developer

Hey,

Thanks for the Feedback :)

Ducks colliding with the catapult was intentional, like a mouse walking into the mouse trap.

I like the Trick shot Idea and will try to implement it. :)

Submitted(+1)

Nice graphics!. I'm still not sure how to aim the smileys.

Developer

Hey, 

Thanks for the feedback.

I wanted to add some visual feedback (like a direction arrow or an elastic string) for launching Smileys, but I could not make it work.

Submitted(+1)

haha! made me smile(y) :-) fun!

Developer

Thank You :)

Glad you liked it :)
