  • I grabbed your game as soon as I saw it. Duck Hunt, one of my faves and a perfect fit for the theme of this game jam. When you said in your description, "some quirks" I did not expect the gun not to shoot and you to then...hurl your dismembered arm which then regenerates and goes again?! LOL wild. Quite a few quirks along the way that make it quite a creative interpretation of the first game. I liked the old TV going bad feel of the lines across the screen. It added to the overall twisted nature of this game. The sound design and music was good though a tad loud/abrasive. Volume sliders would help with this. It was a bit too difficult for me to get very far into the game. A missed shot affecting my health was a bit too rough. The ducks coming in slightly slower waves would help as well. Adding a bit of lore at the beginning would be cool. Something like, "We got an old copy of duck hunt! It's a bit twisted but maybe it'll still work." And then to explain the gameplay, "Just shoot the ducks. Easy!" And then you find that it's twisted and not as easy as you recall. It feels like the TV or the game have been possessed in comparison to the original game and that's so cool. I want that emphasized a bit more in an introduction of some kind. Great submission for the game jam! Good game design doc. This was really creative and well done. Thank you!

Summarise your game!
Duck Hunt, but with some quirks. Use your mouse to aim, left click to shoot and get as many points as you want!

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
The game fits the theme by having the player take control of a hunter that's hunting ducks. Not only is he a weapon against the ducks on his own, but he does become a weapon himself in the literal sense as well.

I am expecting the game to pull off some sort of pony island type twist mid game but anyway. Jokes aside the game is well polished and well made, so good job on that! I ended up somewhere around 22500 and hoped I saw what the game has to offer, but so far all seems to be very funny and a bit uncanny (in the good sense) as well, loved it. The gameplay is solid, but was wondering if there is a way to increase difficulty slowly throughout the game.

Anyway, good job!

Oh, we really wanted to implement more, but time constraints and all. I'm glad you enjoyed though!

Theoretically, the ducks would have a faster spawn rate as the game progresses, but I'd say it needs some tweaks. There's a couple of other things we have in mind to make it a bit tougher, though. :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to play our game and leaving such thoughtful feedback, we really appreciate it!

(Also, that's a crazy highscore! You're #1 on the leaderboards now!)

I really though a full blown ARG was about to unfold in this game. The presentation is incredibly stylish and well-executed. The sounds are extremely pleasant, and the FX are all extremely clean. The controls are snappy and the concept is easily understood.

Very well done!

Developer

I'm really glad you like it! We're considering doing more with this, so who knows.

Thank you for taking the time to play our game!

Wow, at first I was like "what a polished little retro game experience" and then I was like "wait, wtf" and that latter sentiment continued for the rest of my play session. Lol what a trip!
