First of all, big thanks for the thorough feedback! Really appreciate it :)
Surprisingly, the lack of tutorial didn't actually come into my mind at all during the gamejam so apologies for that! Great point to bring up. Also big apologies on not being able to ride the duck, we will try to ask the duck nicely to see if they're up to giving you a free ride at some point, since it's the month for Christmas after all :)
