Hi, I’m on a mission to play all the fellow “duck” games.

The gameplay is simple and easy to pick up. It’s a nice complete game. I liked the camera work, it wasn’t just static and following the duck, it was much more dynamic. Good work!

Thank you! Cinamachine was a big help with this project.

So cute! I like the art style, it fits very well your story (and the duckilings are adorable) Thanks for all the checkpoints, they were very useful to me lol. Great work!

Thank you! This jam was an amazing learning experience, especially with the art style. I'm glad the checkpoints helped.

some of the sections were a little tough, appreciate the generous checkpoints. Loved the game.

Developer

Thank you! Yup, it's a lot harder than it comes off to be.

It felt like only the narrative had fit the game jam but it had nothing to do with the mechanics. I liked the nostalgic 3d pixel art, but the gameplay felt a little flat since it didn't tie in with the theme either.

Thank you! Unfortunately, I couldn't think of an idea for the entire first day, so I had to come up with something since I started a day late, it's pretty loose, but I wanted to get something finished. 😅

I appreciate the calm atmosphere of your game, I also think it was the right length. I think I was expecting at least another mechanic towards the end, but I'm sure that has to do with time constraints as is usual with jams.

My favorite part was the visuals! Well done

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, I was planning to add more stuff, but time took its toll.
