Thank you so much for playing and for your thoughtful feedback. I’m really glad you enjoyed the game and had fun trying to beat the levels and go for the gold targets. It’s awesome to hear you stuck with it and got that far.
I think making the ducklings invincible until you pick them up is a great idea. It would definitely help make the later levels feel a bit less punishing.
About level 6, there is actually a bug that stopped turtles from spawning, which I didn’t catch during development! They were meant to be rare and their mechanic was to move left like the bread and, if they detected a duckling, they’d chase it down, similar to the beavers and snakes.
Thanks again for your kind words and suggestions. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
