I certainly didn't see that coming- I was expecting to get a jump upgrade at some point, but that was way better. "Rocket-jumping duck" is not a protagonist I thought I'd like nearly as much as I did in the end!
Thanks for reviewing and playing <3.
The moment I got the bazooka I immediately knew what to do. :-)
Very fun game, I love the quack button!
I'm so glad you liked the quack button :)
Yes! I forgot to mention, the music you chose is awesome. It’s my 2nd favorite song in this jam (1st is Megalovania remix from Planet Defender, so you are competing with Undertale here, just so you know).
A very satisfying game! Found it quite little challenging. Good job!
Thanks for playing :)
Funny and very well made game. I wishes the game was voice acted. But overall a good jam game. Well done.
Thanks for taking the time to play and review :)
Rocket Jumping + Goose game. Love it.
Big fan of platformers with a puzzle element.

I had so much fun with this one! It would be a great idea for a game like 'Getting over It'
Thanks for playing :)
Just make it prettier. Maybe just some lighting or something. Otherwise a terrific and clever game that made me smile everytime I blasted away.. The duck could be a star - haha - game has lots of personality that is rarely seen especially in a jam.. Giving me ideas!
I totally agree that the visuals need a lot of work - it's definitely my biggest weakness as a game developer. I really appreciate your kind words and it warms my heart that it made you smile. Thanks so much <3
Wow! Very cool game!
I enjoyed platforming through the level.
Also, the relationship between the duck and the narrator felt really nice. That duck is such a lovable character!
Congrats, dude!
Thank you for the kind regards and for taking the time to play. I really appreciate it <3
It's a really fun game, and this *Quack* is the one of the best part of the game (the second best part is the BAZOOKA)!
For the gameplay, it remembers me the old game : Team Fortress Classic on the conc map. But it is so old, so maybe no one know my reference xD
Anyway, well done!
It's definitely partially inspired by Team Fortress, so maybe we're both just super old ;). Thanks for taking the time to play and review, I really appreciate it!

Hey - I watched through the full playthrough and it gave me a ton of insights into the game, so thank you for that first off. I totally agree with you in visuals - it's currently my weakest game-dev skill and all feedback is greatly appreciated. Finally thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review, and for streaming my game! Much love <3
Every idea in this game is great! I think each animal character in a video gamecshould have a dedicated sound button
If there is an animal character we as the players deserve the right to spam their noise. Thanks for the review and for taking the time to play :)
This is a great game with a nice narrative. The character is cute. Love the "unexpected" part of the game.
Thanks a ton! <3
10/10, dedicated quack button. Seriously though nice job, the controls felt fluid and fun to move around, and the narrator/duck both had a ton of personality that made this a charming experience!
I'm really glad you liked the quack button :D. Thank you for taking the time to play and leave a review, I really appreciate it!
Loved everything about this. I need more! Did not see the twist coming and i loved the mechanics
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, I appreciate you playing :)
Nice one, the jump mechanics works very well and is very trick to complete. Love the duck
Thank you
Nice game dude! i really liked the rocket jump mechanic being the base of the game (also i beat the game regularly and in reverse and i think there should be a little reward at the end if you did it in reverse it doesn't have to be anything big but some more dialogue would be nice)
Hey! You're totally right, the extra effort should get an easter egg at least! Thanks for playing all the way through, I really appreciate you taking the time :)
Really nice! Loved it
Thank you! :)
Quack ! Quack quack ( quack ). Quack quack ! ( A very good game ! Love the music and the quack sound ( obviously ). A bit hard sometime but overall extremely enjoyable, good job ! )
Quack, quack quack quack! Quack quack quack, quack quack quack quack. (Hey, thanks for taking the time to play my game! I'm also in love with the quack sound, I'm really glad you loved it too :)
Really fun game with unexpected mechanics !
I really liked the pixel art and the way in which you "betray" the voice, if you polish a little bit more (respawning locations and collisions boxes)and add more content it would make for a great full release!
Thanks a bunch for playing the game! I definitely agree that a few days of polish would make a really big difference. I really appreciate your feedback :)
