cool game, but honestly, I feel it would have been better if the duck wildcard had not been used. the duck shaped vehicle and sounds... kind of broke the immersion and tone of the game which was good imho, especially because of the music.

Loved the variety of enemy types but I had the impression that the player needs pre existing experience with that type of games. It was not clear to me until after the first runthrough which enemy type does what. Too many variables hit you right from the beginning.

Oh and a retry button would be a nice quick win. I had to redo the keybinds on every start....

It's a very impressive first submission, especially because it's solo. I really like that you added an options menu at the beginning for keybindings and sound settings. The style is very unique and interesting, but also a bit all over the place. The sound effects, the submarine and the small enemies are very cartoony and cheerful, while the background and the boss are very creepy. I had a pretty easy time just rushing through the bottom of the level though.

First game jam game I've played that has rebindable controls. Very nice!

Good game! I like having the option to speed up the ship, it is more risky but feels rewarding. Kicking the ice eel's ass felt satisfying. I really appreciated the mechanic of getting an ammo back if my shot hits. Good music, good art.

Finished it!

Straightforward and intuitive game! The game length was just right. I knew things were about to get serious when the screen started shaking. The boss fight was pretty epic; the scale of the boss was a stark contrast to the small minions leading up to it!

5* for accessibility, for allowing keybinds having auditory feedback on music and sfx settings, and for provision of multiple game modes to cater to different tastes and preferences!

I was a chicken (even though I was a duck), and stayed at the top lane killing what I can from a safe angle. One way to circumvent this might be to make enemies that move not just horizontally, but diagonally to make dodging more active!

Overall, solid submission!

I looove the art style, especially the boss! 

The game was easy to understand and the length of the gameplay was just right. I enjoyed seeing the variety of enemies and their attacks. 

The music is fitting and the quacks were super cute. Though I think I got a mini heart attack every time I got hit because the impact sound was a bit jarring haha. But not really an issue since you have volume sliders (yay!).

I was able to win with the normal bullets and had a lot of fun in that mode. But when I tried the piercing ones it was a bit more challenging since I couldn't really tell whether I hit the enemies or missed them as there are no visual cues for when you land hits. The enemies randomly have more health so having that cue would really improve the experience. But I understand that with the time constraint you probably had to prioritize other things.

Overall a well-scoped, solid game. Great work!

This was very solid. The accessibility menu was a nice touch. I liked the music and the duck sound quite a bit. Good Job!

Nice simple straight forward submission.

Liked the graphics and really liked the music. The duck quacking sound got a little old through.

The gameplay was  good and controls felt pretty solid. Also liked the varied enemies and the boss battle, maybe a little too easy though.

Very nice! I think bio-luminescence is a cool way to tie into the theme. I thought the backgrounds looked nice, especially with the parallax effect. And the ice eel was cool looking as well.

It would have been cool to see some different attack patterns from the boss, or maybe a second phase? But I did enjoy the enemy variety through the rest of the game. Very solid for your first entry, kudos!

Well scoped game. I liked the clarity on the starting screen for all the options, and different play modes is a nice way to build replay ability.  I liked the quacking when you shot a bullet. The gameplay wasn't particular engaging for me though.
