funny :)

Although i not a big fan of the cursor moving randomly AFTER a click. I get the point of imitating recoil and things but in the end it feels more unfair than challenging. A constant moving cursor would maybe be more appropriate.

Good job 👍

Really fun game and takes a different approach than the normal shooter games, well done!

julia-lundman 2018-08-14 12:10

Hello! First of all: I like that the game was simple enough to figure out even without instructions. The name on the game makes it quite obvious, but after getting a few points for missing the shots I started understanding what to really do. I think the game would be a tiny bit improved by letting the difficulity be a little bit easier than it is in the beginning though. I like the cute art for the animals too :)

team-gaivot 2018-08-14 12:31

The randomized aim makes things a bit unfair, but still pretty fun!

joloujed 2018-08-14 14:23

Thanks @team-gaivot @nicso i will think a better way to ressemble recoil, thanks for playing and the advice.

joloujed 2018-08-14 14:26

Hellow @julia-lundman Thanks for playing, I know the game is quite unfair, It was a little bit rushed. Im glad you figured it out, i will try to balance it a bit better. Thank you so much.

joloujed 2018-08-14 14:28

Hellow @j-star I m glad you liked it, thanks for playing and your nice words.

beebo-studios 2018-08-14 19:13

Nice idea! :)

axavian 2018-08-14 19:19

The game is fun, good job! There was a small opening at the middle-top so I used it for my advantage and made over 100 score :) But I agree with the people above, constant moving cursor would be better.

sohakes 2018-08-14 19:20

I like that you don't kill the animals in this one :D. I agree with everybody that the recoil after the shot is not cool, makes it too random. I also could get a "high" (192) score by just click crazily at the top of the screen. Maybe put more ducks there to avoid cheesing or limit the cursor area.

Nevertheless, cool idea, gameplay, graphics, music, sound, animations. It's all very well done and polished, great job!

deadeyejoe02 2018-08-14 19:28

It was funny ! Good job !

jamie-reed 2018-08-14 19:37

I think I like the way this game handled the theme best of all.

gerox 2018-08-14 19:44

Good game, but at first I tried to click the Go home button to start it multiple times.

krysis 2018-08-14 19:54

Its very fun ! I like how you use the theme :)

The only thing i didn't like is this aim which moves randomly. I think it will be better if you use your recoil by moving the aim for the next shot and not the shot we fired.

Another thing too, i tried to fire only in one corner and spam fire, i got quickly a lot of points :p, so maybe you should limit the place where we can aim and block the corners.

Otherwise, good game & very nice idea !

korso 2018-08-14 20:01

I liked the graphics, music and the idea. It fits well the theme. Not a big fan of the random aim. I think it will be much better if the shot were on target and the aim were moved after that.

sosaddude 2018-08-14 20:24

Gameplay really interesting, u made a good work. Nice one !

calixjumio 2018-08-15 00:29

This game is perfect, it is so simple, would have loved more variance but it is yet perfect as the simple little thing it is.

rexpeppers 2018-08-15 00:31

Fun! Interesting mechanic to avoid shooting the ducks...

2018-08-15 00:33

Simple game with good ideas (recoil to make the game a bit harder is nice) nice artsyle. Nicely done

drell 2018-08-15 20:17

I loved the concept and the execution didn't disappoint either! haha Good job :D

blinkenlights 2018-08-16 06:09

Awwww, no Linux :(

joloujed 2018-08-16 09:12

@blinkenlights Hey, I didnt put the option, but I think the Unity export works for all platforms. You can give it a try, I would apreciated so much if you tell me if It worked or not. Thanks!

blinkenlights 2018-08-16 18:50

Not quite, Unity's only thrown out the .exe file, which is Windows-only. Mac uses .app files and Linux directly takes binaries (either .x86 or .x86_64). If you could export it for Linux though I'd gladly give it a shot.

jjcp 2018-08-16 23:06

Now that you added the Android version I can finally try your game out! It's quite fun I must say. I loved the atari-like graphics

miracl 2018-08-16 23:08

First, why the rabbits are flying ?

Second, isn't there too much ducks ? 2018-08-17 (1).png

Third, Look mom I've got the highscore !!2018-08-17 (2).png

And finally, I admit that this game quite addicted me, this so humoristic and vegan ! I'm also intersted on how you manage to export your game on android.

joloujed 2018-08-16 23:17

Hellow @miracl

1 Rabits dont fly?

2 Never too many ducks

3 wow that very impresive

4 Thanks for playing, I wached this tutorial on Youtube, its a year or so old but everything he says still works. There you go.

Edited: I dont know if the video plays well so here is the link with one space https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yLDxIMuRlo&t=210s

joloujed 2018-08-16 23:20

Hellow @jjcp glad you liked, thanks for playing!

lumpy 2018-08-17 18:49

Fun idea! I think in a game of this nature, the recoil made things really hard. I also feel like most areas of the screen are simply too dangerous to click in, and ended up camping the top middle part of the screen. Felt real good to have a window to do some spamfire!

joloujed 2018-08-17 21:48

Hellow @lumpy yeah i know, i made a post jam version for android fixing all of this issues. I will update it for all platforms but at the moment you can try it on android if you wish. Thanks for playing and for the advice!

honey 2018-08-18 08:42

This game would be hell of a fun if you could control where you shooting! I know you've already addressed the issue, but still... Even though, the game is fun, artstyle is very spot on and I like it very much, so is the music in my opinion. I would just reconsider the gun sound, which is pretty uninteresting to me. But overall great experience for me, thanks for that! :)

joloujed 2018-08-18 13:38

Thank you for playing! @honey yeah I know what you mean, it wasnt a smart decision the recoil. I will pay more attention to the gun sound. Thanks for the feedback.

joloujed 2018-08-18 16:50

Hellow @blinkenlights , I made a Linux version, x_86 and _x64, now you can try the game, I would love if you give me feedback on the builds, because I couldnt test it, Tanks!

heidi 2018-08-18 17:48

An addictive game with stylized graphics and cute sounds. I love the "how is killing an animal going to make you a man?" Thought this game was very sweet overall; great work! :)

number6406 2018-08-18 18:01

Very funny game, the idea you've got is very good! I'm pretty bad at missing my shots, but eh, nobody's perfect. I love the arts. The little screen shaking every time you shot adds a small thing I shouldn't describe. Very pleasant entry :) (It contains ducks anyway, couldn't have been better)

decentsauce 2018-08-18 23:20

Haha, the music made me laugh. xD So sad. Good game!

justinmullin 2018-08-20 00:21

Oh man, what a great idea! Solid execution, and fun to boot. I particularly love the "game over" screen. Nice unique take on the theme!

wrenpirate 2018-08-21 06:56

I didn't rate because I played the WebGL game; let me know if I'm doing it wrong. This game was a lot more fun than it should have been. Shooting at nothing doesn't sound like anything, but the nice graphics and not-annoying music made this a very pleasant, vegetarian experience (until I accidentally killed a living cgi creature. Congratulations! ¡Muy bueno!

joloujed 2018-08-21 08:39

Hellow @wrenpirate yeah I am glad you enjoyed the game, the version you played is the post jam so it is better that you dont rate it. You can try the original version if you want, but it is only for windows.

But i really dont need more reviews so I am happy with the fact that you liked it. Muchas gracias!

anubhav-kashyap 2018-08-21 12:40

Amazing game. Unique concept, and very fun to play.

wevel 2018-08-21 13:13

Very fun game. Some of it did just seem like clicking as fast as possible, when there was a gap. However, trying to shoot down the balloons made it interesting. Well done.

hi-irie 2018-08-21 16:47

hahah damn the music makes me feel bad for the duck but it sounds soooooo good!!! Well done on this game team. Solid execution, feels good, and the artwork nicely done.Screen Shot 2018-08-21 at 9.46.26 AM.png

cristihkj 2018-08-21 17:21

Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D

mh-studios 2018-08-21 18:00

Nice idea, really fun ;)

awesomealliterationalliance 2018-08-21 18:37

That's a really nice and original idea! Love the gameover screen. It kinda makes me feel bad. :D Art, music and gameplay are solid! Very nice entry!

connorwilson 2018-08-21 23:24

This is a great entry! This is probably one of my favorite interpretations of this theme I've played so far. The graphics and audio are top notch and flipping the script on Duck Hunt is brilliant.

suve 2018-08-22 00:03

Fun idea. The graphics and music are very pleasant and create a relaxing atmosphere. A neat little game.

One subtle bug I've found is that if a deer and a rabbit align when you take a shot, the game deducts a missed shot for each of them, so you can end up with a score of -1. **:)**

joloujed 2018-08-22 07:42

Hellow @suve I know of that issue, if you kill two ducks is the same, it would be like the saying "2 birds one bullet". I thougt about making some unlockable badge, like "cold killer" or something like that. That is some nasty accuracy hahaha. Glad you enjoyed!

flyingkiwi 2018-08-22 13:56

It's clean, simple and fairly basic, but challenging at the same time. Nice work!
