Oh my god, the ducks were so frightening! But this game works well!

I could only see part of the game because my screen is 1600x900 :(

Good concept to avoid ennemies on a sphere. Maybe adding more gameplay elements.

symmsaur 2017-05-04 22:28

Yeah, sorry about the non-stretchyness of the graphics.

I love the sounds xD

I liked the way the pond-sphere stood out against the sky! That darker-aquamarine border looks really nice. Not too much to do though, but nice work!

I really fancied trying this - love the idea and the look of the duckies - but it was too big for my screen and I couldn't get started :-(

Heh, HD photorealistic pseudo 3D. Respect for the effort, but why?!?!?!?!?!

The game itself is simple and even fun after a while (so many hostile :duck::duck::duck:, why?!?!?!?!?!)

Even more respect for the :duck::duck::duck:, btw. The render is very cute, you don't happen to... **looks at source** Bloody 'ell, I just knew it wasn't a 3D render! This time I really should have believed the PR hype machine. (Don't take this the wrong way, but I made [this](https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5WlmwXeslACQXFzazlRRGJtV3c) just for fun!)

Great work!

Haha. Pretty funny. I liked when my duck came back around the other side of the globe, that background did look photo realistic as well. Computers have come so far! I think our duck should have laser beams for eyes though, I wanted to fight back after a while.

Frikkin' "lasers" for eyes would have been awesome! Gotta add that to the remake!

Nice game - it took me a while to get the hang of how the physics worked, but I enjoyed it after that point!

Just one thing, though - repeatedly tapping the up arrow triggers the flapflapflap sound effect regardless of whether the sound effect's already playing. It'd be an improvement if it just kept going "flapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflap" rather than "flapflflaflplflFLAFLPFFASJQKLHHHHHH".

Sounds like it might be a cool game, but couldn't play it due to my screen size. Couldn't even exit out of it. Other than that the graphics are pretty neat. The sound is funny, but it should be prioritized a little more. Good job!

Working with that amount of duck photos had to be a challenging project. Good work with that.

I love when this kind of games become rapidly hard, it avoids boredome when retrying after death. All was fine (for me) once I set `#define INTENSITY_RATE .4`. Thanks for sharing the source.

Haha, awesome little game. Good work with the psuedo 3D ducks, locked really nice. It is a simple small game that works well but it could obviously need more polish. But awesome work anyways!

connor-mcgrory 2017-05-16 18:22

The audio was hilarious! :D Nice job, surprisingly addicting! I liked the small detail of the ducks going around the world. It made it feel like an actual sphere and not just a circle.
