The Audio and Art for this game is really well done. Almost every action delivers a satisfying response, the movement is smooth, collecting bubbles is visually appealing due to the nice particles, and the shooting mechanics feel spot on with good audio and visual feedback. You guys should really keep working on this.
Fun to play and on point with the theme!
Epic! Art in this game is really good, unique and quirky! Visually everything is readable and pleasing to watch. As a top-down shooter it offers a good amount of challenge. But having to refresh the web page to retry was quite frustrating, but easy to fix. Fantastic work!
I know that not having a reset button was an oversight, and it will definietly be included (along other improvements) in an updated version after the voting period is over. Thank you for your kind words!
ooooo boy this was a treat to play.
The shooting is J-U-I-C-Y. The bird feet as wall block is a clever clever design element. The bubbles slowly becoming small & then going away is nice attention to detail. The camera zooming in to show less of the map & increase difficulty is top notch as well.
I'm not sure why but when I saw the 'scroll wheel to change guns' it made me really excited that there are different weapons of choice.
The difficulty is also super well-balanced.
Safe to say this was made with love & by a team of experienced people.
Super cool-cute-charming game. Thanks for the experience ^^
Wow, thanks for the High praise!
I really liked it! Great graphics and gameplay! The idea is a bit similar to ours but applied in a different way!
Thanks! I can definitely see the similarity, it seems we had similar ideas. Glad that you liked it!
Really great game guys, keep up the good work!
Thank You!
A 5 stars game! The only issue I had was getting stuck at the Game Over screen and not be able to restart. Apart from that, 5 ducks out of 5 from me.
Wow, thank you! Sadly we were really pressed for time in the end, so we did not manage to implement a restart button in time. I reallize that it would really improve the experience.
Once the Voting period is over we will publish an improved version, wich will definetly have a Restart button.
Great game and quite challenging but still feels fair
hope you were able to kill the stork and that you enjoyed the game :)
Thanks for playing 😁
Very nice graphics and sound effects!
thanks happy you liked it :)
Had fun blasting things in this game! Very charming graphics and sound design, and the game feel is good! I did have problems with getting stuck behind the bird leg a few times, which forced me to start all over. But other than that I enjoyed it a lot! Great work!
I didn't realize you could get stuck behind the Bird legs, i will look into that. Thanks for playing!
Love the knockback effect when you shoot and the feel of the game overall! Pretty polished, well done!
Thank you!
Love the vibes! Great job!
Thank you!
