best opening line ever!

Heh, what a weird idea...too bad jumping doesnt work properly.

stevejohnson 2010-12-20 03:40

Unplayable because the collision detection doesn't work well enough. And jumping is just odd. The help label is too small for me to be able to pay attention to it. I didn't notice it for five minutes. There was no sound. Can't really see how this relates to the theme.

Nice effort, but physics are totally broken, jumping only works 1/10 of the time, and i can wallclimb by mashing into one while pressing space repeatedly. :)
Like the idea and look though.

wizbane 2010-12-20 04:47

jumping doesn't work for me. I think it could be more challenging if the movement was a bit more slippery.

korywazhere 2010-12-20 12:11

Yep, I really need to sort out my collision detection, currently you are just a collider - I don't do any checks apart from to shut off jump when you're in the air but that's broken too ;P

You should have played it when I was using a mesh collider for the ground. Yikes! That was a real mess, plenty of falling through the mesh.

As this was my first time at LD I wasn't really worried about making a great game. So long as I made "a game". It was more an excuse to learn Unity. Which I feel I made a good start on.

So basically the discovery was my own =D

korywazhere 2010-12-20 12:13

I actually had it so jumping on the blocks heads killed them and they vanished but it only worked from the editor. Once I built the game they no longer dissapear. I'll need to look into that.

korywazhere 2010-12-20 12:14

...Assuming blocks have heads...

squax 2010-12-20 14:27

haha good stuff, is there a game over goal state? I can't seem to trigger it after collecting all the coins (unless I missed one)

Babylonian 2010-12-20 16:08

I got 32 coins. That was all of 'em, right?

korywazhere 2010-12-20 17:06

Hey yep 32, winner!

Good game, I have discovered that I am a duck on roller skates!Lol.

What is that "community" rating when I rate this game? I rated it N/A since I dont know what it is.

dslayer27 2010-12-20 21:25

Well, it was interesting, couldn't really jump though.

arielsan 2010-12-21 03:11

The movement felt like driving a car :P, the game looks like a basic unity game and I don't see the theme relation.

devenger 2010-12-21 18:37

Brilliant concept, but only fun because of how broken it is :D Definitely the collisions and movement are what needs sharpening the most.

sos 2010-12-22 00:35

I am a duck on a skates that jumps on boxheads HELL YEAH!!!

John Axon 2010-12-22 05:49

Nice first game! I liked seeing the rest of the stage in the distance; it added a sense of exploration which fit the theme nicely. Personally, if there were just a few sound effects in this game, I would feel much more engaged and motivated to play more. Jumping and collisions aside, some sfx would be nice. Nice work!

refrag 2010-12-22 05:55

No YOU are a duck! Cute concept :) Great job learning Unity and taking part in Ludum Dare!

starspell 2010-12-22 19:19

Ok so you are a duck... ++
You made it in 3D... ++
Discovery? ummm....

XD I liked that game it was cute and it actually ran on my piece of crap laptop which is unusual. However I really couldn't get it to do what I wanted. I don't know whether it was because it was lagging on my end but I could never get the duck lined up how I wanted.

dertom 2010-12-25 00:08

Hehe,...quakquak! Good one...

endurion 2010-12-25 17:41

You win for the initial discovery.
The basic game is marred by a few bugs. You can jump in midair (when falling), you have to move with the platforms.
Also, boxes usually don't have heads ;)

philomory 2010-12-29 09:49

No, *you're* a duck!

Cute, though it was laggy on my machine, which rapidly made the platforming elements impossible. Nonetheless, it was fun to roll around as a roller-skate duck in the easy areas.

badlydrawnrod 2011-01-03 19:30

Amusing.
