A very pleasant game! Cute little ducks and a relaxing atmosphere :)
Very cute game! I included it in my Virtual Pet Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out. :)
Peaceful game, fun to have on in the background. Nothing different to add that any one else hasn't already said, good job :)
love the art! really cute ducks
If the Jam has a "Best Title" category, you gonna probably win XD.
Anyway, in my perception, the game is very relaxing, polished, and beautiful. Something I probably pay for plays.
Congrats, for me, this is one of the bests.
My creepy goth duck ran away :'-(
Some things that could be improved:
- It took me some time to figure out what I am supposed to do with the "hand", it was just zooming out on click.
- I also hit the bug when the menu was no longer opening, and I've also noticed that if you spam-click the menu button it keeps getting bigger and bigger :)
- At some point, it gets a bit annoying when in order to pet and feed, it zooms in and out. I understand why it is like that because you want to focus on one of them, but when you are micro-managing a lot of the ducks and trying to get effective in creating your dark goth army, it gets in a way a bit.
Overall very pleasant game, good job!
Working on a fix, there has been a couple of interesting bugs haha :p Thank you so much for your feedback!
Love this! So fun! I really like how smooth it is, and the accessories are genius. I did get to a point where I couldn't open the menu on the top right after having looked at the pause menu to fiddle, but that's fine, I wasn't in it for the money, I was in it for the cute af ducks.
Nice enjoyable experience, loved the accessories touch *chefs kiss
Thank you so much!
Oh man I loved this one!
Right off the bat the music was super great!
I loved these ducks right away.. they are so cute!
I did experience a few bugs while playing, it was possible to get to a state where the shop and the shepards hook we're unclickable. Also at one point my duck just disappeared!
Rest in peace Ducky :(
Yeah we spotted that bug after submission sadly, but working on a fix!!
If the ducks arent happy enough they will try to leave, so they just kind of dissapear after staying close to the edge after a while :((
The ducks are so cute! I also like how "calm" this games vibes are.
Loving the pun on the title of the game itself! I definitely noticed it and clicked! Ducks are great, great choice!!
I did not think i would sit here caring for ducks for 6 hours straight, coming back tomorrow! Would love to have this on mobile or as an interactive desktop wallpaper or something.
Look out for a Wallpaper Engine version very soon!
