Interesting take on an old classic (forgive the cliché).
It was interesting to be able to control both characters at the same time, I think that would have been an interesting mechanic to do expand on.

Also, noticed the ducks had different movement "patterns". Some of them were really jerky, and shooting them just seemed like luck.

I like the hex style, though it doesn't quite fit with the sprites. Nice choice of music.

You did a great work, the controls feel a little laggy but only on the beginnng

sevenkingdomssurvivors 2014-04-29 05:44

Haha! Awesome spin on a classic. Polish up the controls, throw in a few levels and this could be really great.

The split-attention was a little tricky - maybe good for local two-player?

co-op would be nice

tikilittle 2014-04-29 06:15

Yeah, I thought about co-op when designing the game. The dog and the hunter need to be doing tasks simultaneously that enable a better co-op experience. Thanks for the suggestions.

It felt like more or less random luck whether or not I hit the duck - could just be my lack of skill, though.

This game is so funny. Like a good gamer I did not read how to play the game, so I did not get so many ducks to shoot at. Still had a good time play it and love the music.

tikilittle 2014-04-29 06:27

Yeah, the collision detection was something I struggled with. That's something in the future I hope to fix.

Best NES remake I've seen.
Good job.

Wow I love the graphics and the music.

But in my version there was never a duck...
Playing on Mac OS X.

did you jump into the grass as a dog?

Interesting mechanic, really glitchy movement though...

Liked this take on the old idea! Thought the ducks were a bit too quick and jerky to aim at very easily (mouse controls would have been nice!), but a good idea, nice art style and the music worked well.

Yay local multiplayer, nice art, well polished, good job !

harsayhd 2014-05-07 08:49

Interesting graphics, but I haven't seen any duck.

Good graphics. It got really fun once I took the time to read the controls description. The only thing really missing is a scoring system.

degtyarev 2014-05-07 22:09

Love the art style!

Great idea and well executed. Resizeable window would have been nice though as the bottom part of the screen was cut off (MacbookPro) and I couldn't see my score after playing. Also not getting the tie in to the theme...

Does hunter supposed to shoot the dog? Dog jumps very low, it is impossible, maybe it's a bug? I runned the windows build
