Yup. This is the entry to beat, right here. Gosh darn you, ThatWhichIs, how come you such great games make?!1

thatwhichis 2013-12-16 01:41

is the way. *serious FACE.* :-D

Loved this game! At first the controls were unintuitive but then they became very satisfying.

zconnelly13 2013-12-16 03:51

Bahaha, funny! Also the sound was great.

joeprogram 2013-12-16 03:56

The controls were great! I liked the way you could shoot the food directly down the duck's gullet - sort of a foie gras simulator. I didn't like it when I ran out of white ducks - I ended up having to feed an asshole duck. Maybe it was because two good ducks ate the same food.

I have to say, this is the best game featuring asshole ducks that I've ever played.

thatwhichis 2013-12-16 04:07

Thanks, dawgs, glad you liked it!

thatwhichis 2013-12-16 04:09

JoeProgram: It was an issue of which I was aware, so I added some extra white ducks. They do wander, though! I sometimes spend a minute or two waiting for a white duck to make his way back to me, all, "yo, I want food." I try to use to time for to reach enlightenment. :-D

Ducks! Quite a hilarious game. Why are they not in a pond?

thatwhichis 2013-12-16 05:54

Because they don't deserve a pond. >:-O

LET THEM GLIDE GRACEFULLY ACROSS THE GRASS, THEIR WADDLES FORGOTTEN IN THE WINDS OF TIME I SAY!

Zolmeister: passing out for the night but I'll check your entry out tomorry!

those ducks are nuts

linuus 2013-12-16 12:42

Haha that was surprisingly fun XD

tannernetwork 2013-12-16 17:06

Nice music ;)

broxxar 2013-12-16 20:46

Hilarious all around.

Really epic OST to this game

thatwhichis 2013-12-16 22:54

Do you guys want the song? I guess I could make it available for DL somewhere...

thatwhichis 2013-12-17 00:12

Song location added to notes, if'n anybody wants. :-)

gagapete 2013-12-17 11:33

Nice music, very simple graphics but a fun as hell gameplay. And the most creative take on the theme I've seen yet. Well done, sir!

finefin 2013-12-17 19:33

hehehe that was fun. not really sticking to the theme, but who cares?

thatwhichis 2013-12-17 20:25

Whaaaaaat? But the ducks they only gets one! I say to them, "You only get one, ducks!" Like IRL!

lol, thanks for playing everybody! I am immensely enjoying all of your games.

daanvanyperen 2013-12-17 21:04

I could've used this launch mechanic in my game. Why didn't you tell me!

brotherst 2013-12-18 00:16

That wasn't relaxing in the slightest... Great game!!

chardish 2013-12-18 08:37

I love subtle interpretations of the theme like this.

strd6 2013-12-18 18:23

The controls seemed a little hard for me to get

The music was intense.

The scoring mechanic was pretty cool.

Pretty good!

GOD DAMNIT ASSHOLE DUCKS, STOP EATING IT ALL

thatwhichis 2013-12-18 20:27

IS WHAT I'M SAYING, RIGHT??!

johnnysix 2013-12-18 22:09

Asshole ducks should move a bit slower for every piece of ill gotten bread they consume, the bastards.

johnnysix 2013-12-18 22:10

Liked the organ music, represented the general mood and sentiment of duck feeding.

idovoodoo 2013-12-19 21:52

Haha, awesome! :)

reverend-speed 2013-12-19 23:13

Awesome instructions are awesome. Those ducks are clearly assholes.

deathray 2013-12-20 03:38

Ha! High points for humor and the game works well. Only thing: I wish i could throw the food underhand so it's slower, rather than firing it out like a bullet.
(BTW: My game should be playable now.)

thatwhichis 2013-12-20 04:13

Right, talking at people!

JohhnySix: A friend of mine recommended the same thing! He also suggested the assholes gain weight over time, which also seems interesting, but he suggested that while I was in the middle of working on the leaderboard integration and I was all like, "eh, whatevskies, I'll fix it in post." Conversely, I thought about making the unfed ducks get slower and lose weight from round to round. As of right now, the asshole ducks get a.... +20? ish? Modifier to their speed randomization with every successive round, and even that is working okay but not 'xactly as I wanted it to so, y'know, ::shrugs::!

deathray: You can throw a little slower but you gotsta get closer to yourself (uhh...) than I would like; is tweakable, but don't want to mess with anything while voting goes on. :-)

THANK YOU ALL FOR PLAYING AND FOR FEEDBACK(NO PUN INTENDED). LD is bestust!

Great entry.

jupiter_hadley 2013-12-26 18:31

Simple, fun, great entry. I included it in my Ludum Dare Compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look http://youtu.be/mLdQN8xdVMY

thatwhichis 2013-12-27 01:53

Hey thanks, both!

Jupiter_Hadley: You played my team's submission last LD; keep rockin'!

atombrot 2013-12-28 22:18

Took a while 'til I got how to use the controls. Was short but funny :)

piat 2013-12-29 08:29

interesting to say the least, asshole ducks keep getting at my food, assholes.
