Very cute! Loved this.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for playing!
Cute idea to guide ducks to the pond. :) Good hazards to spice up the difficulty!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for playing!
It was a very cute game and the tutorial texts were fun to read. The gameplay itself was fun. The way in which the different ducklings and the other creatures interacted with each other made the game very enjoyable. I also love how the game doesn't force you to play a particular level but lets you select which levels you want to play. The music is also apt for the gameplay. Well done :)
Thanks! I spent a little too long on those tutorial texts, haha. And yeah, definitely didn't want to lock any of the content - jam reviewers are busy people! Plus it saves time ;)
Thanks for playing!
Very cute, and very fun! I love that there were dogs that thought they were ducklings, so cuuute. Very interesting mechanics with the different duckling types in the queue behind the mother ducks, especially stuff like the ugly ducklings. Good job! Very addicting haha
Hey, thanks for playing! The dogs were originally going to be hazards (they would bark and scare the ducklings) but time got tight and we didn't want to put the art to waste. Glad they're getting some love!
This game made me smile. Really cute and fun mechanics! Ducklings being distracted by everything feels accurate somehow. If only there were more mother ducks, then it wouldn't be a problem (this actually happens in the real world sometimes, where multiple mother ducks will guard their ducklings together, and more ducklings survive as a result).
The different duckling types were creative and added a nice strategy element to the game. The last two levels were pure chaos (in my play through, at least). I really enjoyed this game; this is my personal favorite game of the jam so far! I would highly recommend.
I had no idea ducks did that - definitely tucking that one away for trivia night...
Really happy to hear you liked it, too! I've watched a few people play it by now and I think chaos describes those last levels accurately, haha. Can you really blame the ducklings, though? They are still children, after all. Thanks for playing!
In the later levels it's more like a puzzle game where you have to plan which duck you put in which place. Nice work!
Happy to hear that came through! The later duckling types were a last-minute addition.
Nice game. I like the graphics and music.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
