I overtook and won the mouse in the last centimeters xD, cool game!
Thanks!
Nice! This was a fun little racing boss battle with some really fun mechanics. I liked the bubbles, as they could help you gain a lot of vertical height to get on those upper pathways without as many cogs. I also liked that you could jump on the rat. Not really much I would change here, but some music would be nice.
Thanks!
It weird that you didn't hear the music but I assure that it is there :)
Oh, whoops. Think I had my sound off
Very impressive! Awesome mechanics to watch out for on the race: the balloons to bounce off of properly, the gears that the rat throws out, everything works together very well. I had a blast!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it
Had a blast closing out yesterday's stream with this one. I wanted to go out on a high note and I knew ADOW (what the cool kids call A Duck on Wheels) wouldn't disappoint. I left feedback throughout, but another top notch entry. Love this series.
Thanks for playing my game on your stream. :)
I agree with you about having the camera zoom in and out during the race. It was something I was trying to do but couldn't get to work properly before the deadline 🙃
Another duck on wheels amazing submission! Really impressed how you took the boss level in a race game and actually made it fair. Stomping on the rat at the start gave me a boost and then trying to get the upper pathways. Tried to play it on stream but it lagged.

Now, it took me 6 rounds at least until I've managed to win. Great work on having the rat also fade to the background and being invulnerable. Checkpoints were appreciated in all the previous rounds, this one included. Congratulations!
Thanks!
Sorry it was lagging. I wonder what was causing it. I'll have to take a look.
No need to have a look! It was lagging because I was streaming. My laptop is a nice little toaster. Playing it without streaming went super smooth! Love what you are doing each round, congratulations again!
Okay. Whew! 😀
Very clever all around, from the way you balance the race, the off-screen indicators, and the well implemented checkpoints. I would have personally loved some way to challenge myself even further, like speed boosts that make me faster but make it harder to react to danger. All in all this is a very well executed and unique twist on a boss fight.
Thanks!
Loved the bounce mechanic, and I loved how it was more of a race and dodging stuff than a combat focus. Always looking forward to playing Duck on Wheels each round, and this did not disappoint!! :)
Thank you!
Super cool as usual. The style is great and The new bouncing mechanic was super satisfying
Really fun to play! Loved the boss design and the art style as a whole. Great work!
It was such a joy to play! And that art style clearly stands out. Fun game :)
Bouncing on balloons as a duck on wheels isn't something I would have expected before GDKO, but I'm glad it exists!
Thanks! :)
Loved this one, the race was well done and fun with a lot of game play options and paths.
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I appreciate the updated clean art style, it gives a fresh look to the game. However, I do miss the crazy and fun stock images from the past games. I found it challenging to see everything during the race, and I'm planning to go back and take a closer look to make sure I did miss anything. Overall, great job on the game!
Thanks!
Your games are always so much fun and your boss in this one is awesome!
Thanks! I have a lot of fun making them :)
It's amazing what you've done with the Duck on Wheels series. My wife and I both look forward to playing this one every round. And this round didn't disappoint! About the only thing really lacking for me was some epic boss battle music. But since that wasn't one of the criteria, it's top marks from me. Great work!
Thanks!
I was trying to channel my inner mario kart / old cartoon vibe for the game music. Sort of "comedic violence meets light jazz" :)
very nice! simple but fun mechanics with the blowing up balloons. I liked that the boss wouldn't get too far away ahead if I was doing badly.. but when I was doing well I didn't like that he could catch up (but that's just a competitive thing haha) Great stuff!
Those rats are tricksy ;)
love it! so glad we get a third installment to the duck on wheels games! love the boss fight but there was one part near the end which was basically a leap of faith as you couldn't see the spikes below you and that caused me to lose the first three times but i did manage to win on the third :D
Thanks!
Also thanks for the feedback. You've made a good point about the final jump so, since submissions aren't closed yet, I've added in a couple of platforms to smooth things out.
