Very pleasant little game. Excellent visual and sound design! The motion blur effect is really great and left me wondering how it worked!

the music is sooo soothing.

the overall game is ok, but the sound is not very calming for th situation, It misses some tutorial. I like the way only the bick works for getting food, but it took a while to undertand that the fish hurts me, part for having no feedback and part for not making sense. the constrols could only on the keyboard and would work just fine. the dash is so fast and there is no cooldown that the duck cant follow the camera. 2/10

Nice game! Dodging/fighting the fish works really well. I like the graphics a lot. I found the nest building quite frustrating though - it was difficult to control the sticks and the fish are quite unforgiving, so I found it nearly impossible to actually finish building a nest. I think it'd be more fun if that were easier, or if you died less quickly, or could regenerate health somehow (eg by eating apples)

I enjoyed your game, very nice graphics and gameplay. Quite hard to succeed, i managed and was happy to build my nest but never got to put all the eggs inside! Good work

I've gotten a TON of feedback here and from personal friends that things are a bit too hard/punishing. I suppose I fell somewhat into the trap of being really good at my own game (due to all the play-testing) and tailored the difficulty to myself instead of thinking of the broader audience. I've released a small balance patch that makes it easier to build a nest, take less time to accumulate eggs, and the ability to heal. See description for more details...

Very nice concept, and SFX, had fun even watching other people playing (the person below me hahaha) Thanks for this entry, i will also play it later

The music was relaxing. I actually grabbed my guitar and tried to jam along. The simple melody is peaceful and a good choice for a game like this. The graphics looked 3D in the still images, but definitely looked 2D once I was in the game. Overall, I think the graphics and sound were both attractive and complimented each other. I would definitely play this game again.

Music was very calming, art is great and the game play was good too. Can't give much for feedback other than it was a fun experience! great entry!

Really nice idea. I love the shadows of the sharks/enemies in the water and leading them into whirlpools is cool

Making the body vulnerable and the beak the offensive part of the duck makes it strategic plus the dash mechanic adds something to the gameplay. Finding eggs is hard though. I wish there's something else to get score which will compliment the dash body/beak mechanic.

Nice game, the music is chill and relaxing. The game is a little too hard as I'm sure people have said before me, but a good effort all in all.

I really liked it, but I found it a bit too easy and I'm not the one who is good at games. Overall a really great experience.
