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!

Funny and very well made game. I wishes the game was voice acted. But overall a good jam game. Well done.
Rocket Jumping + Goose game. Love it.
Big fan of platformers with a puzzle element.

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!
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!
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!

- Overall: 4/5
- Unexpectedness: I decided that this is gonna be a great game the second I was given a bazooka. I definitely did NOT expect that.
- Gameplay Innovation: Never seen a game where I'm a duck blasting myself around with a bazooka before, I'll give you that. I enjoyed every moment of it.
- Fun: This was absolutely hilarious and I felt I could've continued for a way longer time than the duration of the game. And I enjoyed that the narrator was constantly berating me.
- Visuals: I mean it's not impressive in terms of visuals, but I'm not sure I think it needs to be. It was a bit monotone though, maybe would've been nice with some more colours.
- Audio: I liked the music. It was calming which was nice to have in the background as you were concentrating on the exact right angle to blast yourself over deadly spikes.
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
This is a great game with a nice narrative. The character is cute. Love the "unexpected" part of the game.
