I wasn't able to play your game :( itch.io wasn't able to find your entry.

chesiq 2021-10-05 12:35

The link to the game is a 404

gdman 2021-10-05 12:38

@electric @chesiq Oh thanks for letting me know. I forgot to change draft to publish.

irina-nikulina 2021-10-05 12:42

Nice game! I liked it

crescentodyssey 2021-10-05 12:43

The link works for me, this is a very early prototype but I can clearly see the idea, which is fun and worth developing!

dad-ex 2021-10-05 12:46

It's hard, I don't understand what to do, but it looks cool

congusbongus 2021-10-05 12:48

Duck cannot into delivering lightning bolt pizza boxes :( Looks promising, but it's very hard! Does the level end?

malcolm 2021-10-05 12:48

Press Ctrl to Duck? I was a duck the whole time. How about press Ctrl to Velociraptor? Now we're talking!

fegabe 2021-10-05 12:48

totally unstable! hehe the concept is fun. I'd appreciate to start with something simpler and be able to reset the game with a button. Good job!

I understand the idea of the game but that they haven't even added something to retry, it's frustrating to have to click out of the screen and have to reload every time everything crashes, the theme is just as good as it is totally unstable.

tyler-hahn 2021-10-05 12:53

Fun concept but frustrating to play. I think the movement could have had used a bit more tweaking.

crotonyl-alcohol 2021-10-05 12:53

It's hard but interesting. By the way, nice pun.

mac-dragoness 2021-10-05 12:54

nice concept and it could have been good but it felt very unfinished... it's pretty hard and it needs desperately needs a restart button. Anyways, keep up the work!

pablo-lario 2021-10-05 12:55

In-game retry button or smth would be really nice. Good theme implementation tho

chesiq 2021-10-05 13:01

Fun game! I could not understand what to do really, also would be good to add a menu and all of that!

aaaaaalois 2021-10-05 13:03

funny cute game! but a little bit too hard for me

yogurtthehorse 2021-10-05 19:38

fun concept. I managed to deliver one pizza after a few tries, hehe

madr 2021-10-05 20:35

Does the pizzas have duck souce. Cool game mechanics btw!

dumrum 2021-10-05 20:37

Managed to delives one pizza. But when cramping all the pizzas into the corner and then ducking (hehe), one can glitch pizzas back up, which is a little weird. Nevertheless, a cute game! :)

tiago-cruz 2021-10-05 20:39

Nice concept. It had potential.

fersyvanderzee 2021-10-05 20:41

I won didn't I? 2021-10-05_22h39_47.png

gdman 2021-10-05 20:46

@fersyvanderzee Guess you can have all the cake!

commanderstitch 2021-10-05 22:22

hahaha i can't believe i was able to do it. It was so unstable but i surely got those boxes to the other side!

chaosbrick 2021-10-06 01:02

My stack isn't as neat as Fersyvanderzee's, but I got them all over there as well. Just kinda lauched them all over there. I guess that wouldn't work for a longer level though, haha. I think I would've really liked playing a fully developed game with multiple levels and some more mechanics and stuff, maybe with some scoring system based on how many pizzas you manage to deliver? Oh, and I do think the physics would need to become a bit more stable than they currently are, but for a quick demo it's just good enough I guess. Quack

raphiell 2021-10-06 17:22

Nice start to a game idea, I only wish I could pick them back up once I dropped them! Or maybe kick them with my ducky feet. Well done!

gdman 2021-10-06 17:35

@raphiell great idea!

weirdybeardyman 2021-10-07 13:50

Good job with the visuals! It would be nice to have some instructions even just written on the itch page. It was super hard to get the boxes to the cauldron! It would be really nice to have something happen when you deliver them to make you feel good, like a sound or particle effect. Good job though!

emaigualmc2-art 2021-10-07 19:59

I liked the idea and the concept, the art was simple, you can continue working and achieve a better result! nice try!

eyedromeda 2021-10-07 20:22

Cool concept with a good amount of potential. The duck was cool and all, but there should really be the option to play as a goose...

pennycook 2021-10-08 23:06

The main thing missing for me is sound effects and music -- it feels eerily quiet. I've had a lot of luck using SFXR and Musagi, and have found a lot of good music loops on soundimage.org.

I know these things take time, and it's tempting to leave them until the end... That's why I recommend to put _something_ in as a placeholder at the very beginning. Even if you run out of time to make something yourself, the game will still feel more alive.

gdman 2021-10-09 08:40

@pennycook This is a great advice, actually.

papabirb 2021-10-11 10:09

This looked like it was gonna be a really fun game! Won't lie that I'm kind of disappointed that it's unfinished, but it's still fantastic to just duck and jump around with my square little buddy and his lightning pizza boxes that he has to get to the cauldron for some reason. Would be better with sounds or music of some kind, but still enjoyable as is for a short demo of an idea.

digitaldude555 2021-10-14 09:20

The concept is there and its fun, but like people said its very unfinished there is no success state or end state or fail state, no feedback to your actions.

daniikk1012 2021-10-14 16:01

Nice concept, but like people already mentioned, the game is unfinished
