Apr 29 00:56:11 Orcs Attack ♥ 1 Hey! That's a pretty sweet tower defense game! It's got a very hectic feel without any breaks in the assault which makes it quite fun. It took a few tries to learn how to start off since you can screw yourself with the resources from the beginning (with the population count mainly, I never had any problem at all with the food: clearly these people are expert farmers). Being able to get stuck indefinitely on a lack of resources feels like [fowl](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) play from the game.
Apr 29 02:03:16 1h 07m Zombie Slayer ♥ 0 There's something very satisfying about mowing down as many zombies as possible in one [fowl](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) swoop. I especially appreciated the touch that after you die the car is swarmed by a huge number of zombies!
Apr 29 02:36:05 32m 49s Super Soccer ♥ 1 I really enjoy the feel and sound of hitting the ball! There's something satisfying about bodyslamming the ball around the field. The menu and start of each game with the newspaper makes the game feel quite polished as well. [Nest](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) time you could increase the pace a bit, which is really my only critique.
May 5 15:15:11 156h 39m Jackhammer ♥ 1 I really enjoyed playing through your game! The beginning dialogue had me hooked to finish it and I found the progression very solid; it rewarded enough and increased the challenge enough to keep me engaged. I was a bit frustrated every time I had to retrace my "steps", although the assistance from shark mode helped a lot, but this was minor in respect to my overall enjoyment. The music was excellent and really set the mood of the each section! The transition between underwater tracks was very well done and matched the increasing challenge well. No spoilers, but I was disappointed with the ending. After the opening dialogue [quacked](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) me up so much, I was really hoping for more dialogue at the end. The controls, while they could use a bit of work, fit the underwater feel very well. I also really liked the level design; it felt very well thought out.
May 5 15:33:39 18m 28s Twin TV ♥ 1 This is a really great combination of two genres. Excellent idea! Very consistent art style throughout. The transitions between levels were spot on and the challenge/escalation is very well thought out, as well. And you did it all in [nest](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) to no time! Great game!
May 5 17:25:16 1h 51m Deadliest Catch ♥ 1 This is a lot of fun to play with friends! Great concept and it feels very polished! It could use some music to help it fully achieve the fun mood. Excellent artwork too; the detail shown with the changing background is very much appreciated. For a fun time playing some local co-op with my friends, I'd look no [feather](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) than this concept!
May 5 23:40:02 6h 14m Forbidden Love ♥ 2 I thought that was great! The humour was [egg](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker)-cellent! I did not expect anything in this game and that kept me guessing during the later segments. I could use more robust fishing mechanics, more bait, larger fish, male fish?
May 6 00:24:41 44m 39s Idle Escape Room ♥ 1 Enjoyed this game a lot, gonna try to beat our time. Gotta [peck](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) those lock faster! Puzzles were good, the hit me ones had us [quacking](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) up. Only critiques are the timer doesn't reset after game complete (when you hit new game). Also the type here puzzle seems to be case sensitive. Thanks for the fun!
May 6 00:57:09 32m 28s Trebuchet Town ♥ 1 I will play any game with a trebuchet, clearly the best siege engine of them all. Wish we could have seen the citizens [duck](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) in cover as the trebuchet spawn flew through the air. We didn't hear any audio, there would be loads of room for added fun there. Beyond that it was a really fun game and as others have said is one of the best theme games we've encountered.
May 6 01:20:02 22m 53s Do You Even Build, Bro? ♥ 2 Really enjoyed fighting while [Bill](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker)-ding. Music was fitting and the concept of the two workers dueling it out was great. More weapons would be a welcome addition, along with maybe less health and weapon ammo drops. Only other major standout was the control bindings were quite awkward we found. Lots of fun had with this one though! :D
May 6 01:53:31 33m 29s Cosmic Potato Trader Simulator ♥ 2 The asteroid collision was a really nice touch along with a fitting sound track. Sadly my hopes and dreams [ducked](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker)-off once my space ship decided it did not need me as its captain anymore and drifted off screen. Resizing the screen would bring it back on screen but immobile and as soon as it was resized it drifted away. The final potato count did not reflect my endevours as the best space potato pirate the galaxy has seen.
May 6 02:12:19 18m 48s Jungle Rumble ♥ 1 This game was a fun intro-[duck](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker)-tion to a great concept! Would love to see this idea taken even further with more objects to throw or maybe more complex map planning. The AI of the NPC Ape was impressive and fun to play against. WEll done!
May 6 02:34:55 22m 36s Bloody Battle ♥ 2 Interesting concept for an arcade game, had a fair bit of fun initially but found it slightly difficult to feel pro-[duck](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker)-tive without more direction (saw you're gonna add bosses which could solve this well enough). Not sure if you ever played the old Motherload flash game, but it could be neat to add the sort of lvls or areas to the map. This would probably add quite a bit of work but if you're planning on running with this game it could add a lot of increased play-ability through more monsters, maybe different blocks, bonuses or weapons etc. Nice game guys!
May 6 02:58:31 23m 36s Submerge ♥ 1 Definitely the best aqua[duck](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) game we've played yet! Really beautiful art style, the logo you guys had up for the game listing was crisp and clean. The cards and creature looked great too but could maybe use some more variation. The music was fun and fit the game well.The card aspect offered a new twist but it felt like its implementation was incomplete. Overall awesome game!
May 6 15:00:45 12h 02m Hyper Drift Mayor ♥ 1 Cool concept! I really liked playing as a cool cat politician (excellent artwork). I found the time between elections a bit long and I could have used some music during the game to add to the mood. The fact that I had to change my priorities multiple times throughout to focus on different resources made the driving task quite a [bill](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) more interesting.
May 6 16:50:39 1h 49m Text Based Adventure ♥ 1 Excellent game! Amading that you finished such an innovative and complete game in only 3 days! You must have had a very pro[duck](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker)tive three days. This has real potential as an expanded game too. I think the final boss fight could use some tweaking. I fired all of my =>s at where the shots were coming from and never even saw Z. I did find all of the <0/1>s though, so maybe he would have been more of a challenge had I not hunted those down. If he had more health and escalated as he lost health instead of starting off firing =>s, I think that might make it a more epic fight.
May 8 01:39:28 32h 48m Shoot bullets in my head while I play golf ♥ 0 I love the style! The choice of portrait aspect ratio works very well. Very accurate name too; that's what it feels like to play the game. There could be a more forgiving escalation in difficulty, but I'm not one who can cry [fowl](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) on a high difficulty. Great music!
May 8 01:48:33 9m 05s Forging Heroes ♥ 2 Excellent style! I love the visuals and models! Cool concept too, but I felt it might work better with two players. Maybe that's just because I [fowl](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) victim to the orcs so many times on my own...
May 8 02:02:19 13m 46s Bullet Hell Typing ♥ 0 It looks and sounds great! Quite a challenge, but the [beak](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker)-and-forth between the mouse and keyboard is a really cool concept.
