Very fun puzzle, but after the first level rocket launch, i get a black screen. Other than that, the game looks cool.

Very fun puzzle, but after the first level rocket launch, i get a black screen. Other than that, the game looks cool.
cool game BRO
Really nice atmosphere, felt a bit short
I like the design, too bad you didn't make a couple more levels and actually force the player to use more than one duck. Good job!
Promising game! Could maybe benifit from a little tutorial or something, the first level begins with a high ceiling difficulty imo. Good job anyway, love the sound effects!
Excelent game, well done. Keep up the good work. for constructive criticism - improving your animation skill can come in handy - creating multiple levels for jams can help - if you want to make this a full-blown game I would suggest a little bit of tutorial
really great looking game quite an interesting puzzle, but it could be explained a little better. Graphics are really nice
That was a cute little game. It was a nice experience due to the design and game mechanic. Also nice implementation of the theme unstable, with a planet that's definitely not stable. Good Joob!
Are we supposed to get both astronaut on board or is one enough? ^^ Anyway nice mini game!
Nice entry! It was a bit difficult at first to identify to goal and I am not sure if 1 or 2 of the characters had to enter the Rocket. Good job on the atmosphere, Congrats ! :smile:
The pixel style 3D block art is nice. Hope to play more interesting levels.
@jacqueslelezard @mahjoub thanks for playing and for the feedback! You only need to enter with one character into the rocket.. for now!
I got the duck into space. I wasn't 100% sure of the rules. I sort of understood that if I click directions the bird would turn and stomp but I was never certain of the result I would make. Also I wish it could have been a little snappier but there is certainly something here.
Good one, good idea, quite hard to find out the solution, but I couldn't stop searching how to manage. Good job !
This is very promising. The core mechanic can easily be expanded on.
It's a bit short at the moment, but I hope you decide to make some more levels.
Thanks for all your* comments and feedback! Happy you enjoyed it!! We had to drastically scale down to ship something in time for the deadline. Post-jam we are going to tidy things up, clarify the objectives and mechanics, rework a bit the puzzle mechanics and make a couple of levels. (Might also add in our level editor.) See if we can get a more rounded out game experience.

Looks interesting, but a little hard to understand how to solve puzzles without some kind of "tutorial level"
I love it, puzzle games are so hard to make! Feels like you're really onto something here, would love to play more levels!
Pretty cool and unique idea for a puzzle game, I like the art style you ended up going with. One thing I did notice was that after a certain amount of time, the music stops looping until you die or reset the level.
I was pretty confused at first on what the actual objective was, I spent a decent amount of time trying to get both ducks in the rocket before realizing I needed to touch the green block. After that it ended up being pretty easy
I could see with a few more block types and more time to design levels this could be a pretty interesting puzzle game!
Very cool idea for a puzzle game, I also like the execution here. I wish you would have had time to add more levels than just the one, even if it would have been with just the same assets you already had.
Feels very polished and looks amazing. Would have loved to play more levels. Great job guys!
The movement of ducks and the entrance for the ship aren't intuitive, but i enjoyed the puzzle. I think good puzzle levels can pop out of it.
The game looks so cool. Love the squash and stretch in the animations. The puzzle was really mindbending, I might have liked to see the game begin with some very easy puzzles and ease you into the concept better. Really neat ideas and execution though!
@littlebeardman thanks noticing about the problem with the audio, we have fixed it. You're also right about the confusion with trying to put both characters into the rocket, we have to improve it explaining that you only need to enter with one (and let yourself be cruel with your friend hehe)
@parttimeindie Thanks! So do we :) Some of the rules need to be tweaked as well, to make the puzzle more challenging. + add some easier step-by-step levels to introduce mechanics. We'll be working on it after the jam. :)
Nice idea with a really great art style! I didn't like the music, sorry, but the levels and puzzles were definitely lacking! I feel like you have all the ingredients to design some fun puzzles!
Very interesting game. The idea seems so simple, yet you have made it into a challenging puzzle game. I personally found it hard to find out hwo you could enter the rocket, so I only managed to complete it on accident, but I found it to be a lot of fun nonetheless.
A few issues I had: - (as mentioned in a previous comment) the music doesn't loop. Maybe I just took way longer than anticipated, but At some point the music stopped, sadly. The music was nice though. - sometimes the ducks rotate the wrong way around. Makes it look weird when they turn a corner.
Nonetheless, a very promising entry! Good job!
this hurt my head in a good way. controls are a bit confusing though and I think it needs a bit of expanding upon though just a single level feels a little short. I like that you can crush the other dude :stuck_out_tongue:
I am not great with puzzle games but I can appreciate that alot of effort and design would of gone into a game like this to make it work! I somehow managed to get one duck into the rocket through trial and error rather than strategy, not sure if i was able to take more than one duck with me but accidently left one behind!
I loved the puzzle element and how polish the game is, the 3D and the animations together with the sound added a lot, my game I tried some similar but very different from it lol
Wonderful little puzzle, cannot wait for more levels!
I really like this style. The voiceover is great!
Fun little puzzle game! The mechanics are innovative, and clear after a few moves. :) Would have loved more puzzles, so I could try out my new understanding (and iterate with it).
Interesting mechanic and game. I would love to see it explored with more levels. Beautiful music and art!
Good mechanic for a puzzle game, I played a bit with flying around with a single block, there were a few strange behaviors, when he moves from one side to the other.
