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 :)
Haha! Very funny and nice game! It reminds me quake rocket jumping or teeworlds grenade jumping!
Thanks a ton for playing! I'm glad you get those vibes, I was definitely inspired by stuff like that :)
Super fun game
Thank you!
Are the first ceiling spikes missing death colliders?

Fun game :)
Oof, you're totally right. Thanks a bunch for playing :)
Really fun, I love the humor here :)
The duck is kinda difficult to control as it comes to complete stop when it bonks it's head on the ceiling (like when you jump over that pilar with spikes on top), but I've had a blast anyway ;)
You don't know how happy that blast pun makes me :). I agree that some of the duck's movements don't feel perfect, I definitely would like to take more time to really nail how it feels. Thank you so much for playing ;)
I had soo much fun playing this game. Although A and D were useless while in airborn which made it kind of hard in certain areas but your checkpoints were well placed to counter that. Only problem I have with the game is that it should be named What The Goose because Goose are Big Ducks if you get what i mean ;)
Hey, thanks for playing! I had A and D work in the air but I could never find a medium of character control that made the levels hard. I think that if I spent more time messing around with both the level design and the movement I could find something that feels really good. In sake of time though, I figured I would just give the duck physics movement and call it good. (I also totally get what you mean ;) ).
One of my Faves so far cant beat a good duck and bazooka combo
One of the best combos out there :). Thanks a ton for taking the time to play and review!
No worries and if you like weird games about boys meeting monsters in dark check out my entry haha
This was such a fun time. Truly unexpected. My entire team took a break from uploading our game just to play through yours!
Thanks so sweet of you guys, a big thanks to your entire team for taking the time to play <3
Wonderful ! I loved walking through the map, great level design.
Thank you so much!
The duck was very cute and I liked the narrative. The colour palette is nice and it made the duck stand out.
Thank you for taking the time to review! I'm happy to hear that the color palette worked, I've been trying to consider color theory a lot more in my games.
Really cool, just finished it - backwards!
I especially loved the pixel art and the cute quack sound (that I spammed way too much). Good job!
It warms my heart to hear that you spammed the quack noise. Thanks for playing it - forward and backwards, I really appreciate it <3
What a cute duck! I'd say I was expecting something weird to happen, but damn I didn't expect to get a bazooka. Well done, you got me man.
I'm really glad you were surprised! Thanks for taking the time to review :)
That was extremely fun and unexpected!
Thanks!
Lol. I was not expecting that. I guess that was your intent though. This game really made me smile. The graphics, gameplay, and music all really work together and are top-notch. Awesome game! Play my game if you get a chance!
I really appreciate you taking the time to play my game. Thanks for the review :)
