The controls are a bit sluggish, but the graphics and music are both very nice. The mechanics are "explained by in example" in  a clear way.

Thank you for playing!

We tried to make the controls have some weight for the duck, but perhaps it was too much.

Glad you enjoyed the graphics and music. The level design was an aspect that my team-mate worked hard, so it is good to know you felt that the mechanics were explained well.

Thank you for your feedback!

I liked the level design, nice ramp to introduce the mechanic.

Developer

Thank you!

The level design was an aspect of the game my team-mate worked hard on. Glad to know it all payed off.

Fun puzzle game.  Found the controls a bit sticky but i still enjoyed herding my little ducks around. :D Nice level design too. Well done! 

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed our game! The controls are similar to tank controls which might seem odd but hopefully feel good once you get into it. My team mate did a wonderful job with the duckling logic to get them to follow around like that and I spent a lot of time trying to get the level design just right, so good to here you enjoyed it all :)

Submitted

Good game. The art and the music are a good mix, The levels too. I have some remarks, about the collision with the ducks and also with the walls, it's make the player stuck. The player controllers are a bit odd, They don't feel responsive.

And a question about the secret level. I found it and I don't know what to do there?

Overall the game it's awesome, Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the nice comments, my team mate did a great job making the art for the game and getting a hold of some music for it. Glad you liked the levels too, it took me a while to plan them. Regarding your question, the secret level is actually just a short cut to the more challenging last two levels but unfortunately a bug managed to sneak in during submission so those levels can not be completed.

Submitted

Thanks for clearing that out. I hope you finish the game. Best of luck!

Really fun puzzle game, the art is really cute too!

Developer

Thank you, glad you liked it!

Really cute puzzle game! The graphics and audio are very cool, the ambiance is chilly! The level design is also good!

Only drawback I could think of: the collision between mama duck and baby ducks; you get stuck pretty fast (it's okay since you can play the mama and the babies separately but it is a bit fustrating).

Good job, congrats!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing! Really appreciate the comments, and glad you liked the art and audio. Especially the level design as it was an aspect of the game my team-mate worked very hard on. 

Yeah, I agree. The collision between the duck and ducklings required some more tuning.

Submitted(+1)

Nice little puzzle game. You got a lot of levels designed for a jam also! I enjoy all the sound effects.
First time I played I took the secret shortcut, got stuck on the puzzle, then had to go back to the start and learn how to play :D

Developer

Thank you for playing, and the comments.

Hmm, perhaps the secret level may have needed to be placed a couple levels after.

Submitted(+1)

This was a charming puzzle game, I enjoyed it. It has the potential to have such complex gameplay for future levels too.

Developer

Thank you very much for playing! Glad you enjoyed it.

Nice job, I really liked the art and the music fits perfectly & reminds me of Untitled Goose Game. Puzzles were good too :) very cute

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you for playing! I am glad you liked the art and the music.

My team-mate worked hard on the puzzles. It is nice to know you enjoyed them.

Cute game ! I like the way the ducklings quack :)

The duck does not feel very responsive (acceleration too slow ?) but it might be intended. Some transition between levels would have been nice. Other than that, I enjoyed the game very much.

Developer

Thank you for playing!

It is meant to have a steering effect, but I feel it does not display to the player what is going on which may be why it feels unresponsive.

Thank you for the feedback, that would be a good idea.

Glad you enjoyed the game!

Submitted(+1)

Oh my. It's so cute)) I was just pushing SPACE to hear how the duck quacks. 10 quacks of 10

Developer

Glad you enjoyed the duck's quack!

Submitted(+1)

Love the art style! Sound is good too! A little more guidance would be good to help dumb players like myself, took me a while to work out I could pick up objects :p Great work! 

Developer

Thank you for playing! Really glad you loved the art and sound.

Thanks for the feedback.

Submitted(+1)

I liked your puzzles and your art! I also thought the overall theme was really cut. I think I got caught in a loop on one level where i'd finish the level and just get restarted, not sure if it was a bug or if I was doing something wrong. Either way,  I enjoyed your game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! I am glad you liked the puzzles and the art. My team-mate worked hard to create the puzzles.

Ah, yes. There are two exits, one that makes you repeat the level, and another that makes you advance. I Should have made the two options a lot clearer. 

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hey,

nice little game you made, really like it. played and rated.

sometimes I had the feeling my duck was unintentional stuck because of the little ducks. I liked the puzzle factor in this.

please feel free to play and rate my game:

Developer

Thank you for playing! 

Yeah, the collision with the duck and ducklings required more tweaking to get it right. 

Glad you liked the aspect of the puzzles. My team mate worked hard on them.


Of course!

Cute game! I liked the movement of the little ducklings when they were following the mother duck.

The controls / collision areas were a bit weird though.... sometimes the mom duck stuck to walls or her own  ducklings... 

Developer

Thank you for playing and the feedback! Yeah, the collision area of the duck was an aspect that needed more testing to get right.

Hopefully you were still able to enjoy the game.
