Love the old aesthetic! Maybe a little too difficult for me, but great simple game!

Hah, this reminded me of some of those games I played back in the 90s in Windows 3.11 :-)
The gameplay was simple, but very easy to understand. The only thing I didn't really understood was the 'duckling' bonus? I gathered that you got the bonus if you had any living duckings when you died? Felt a bit weird, but maybe that's just me? That didn't ruin the game for me though- I had fun.
Thanks for the Nostalgia rush, and thanks for sharing your game.
Very straightforward and fun, despite the retro look everything was really well visually communicated.
Even though this game is simple, I thought it had pretty good replayability. I got to a point where I felt like I could play indefinitely. So long as you stop any seeds from growing it seems easy enough to prevent additional mongooses from spawning (though it took me a few tries to get good enough). I agree with the other commenter that the "duckling bonus" system felt a bit odd. It would have been nice if each duckling added to your score somehow, rather than only the living ones at game's end. Still, I enjoyed playing!
didn't give it a rating because it isn't working from me (windows on chrome)
Very cool that you were able to use Rust! Game was pretty fun, kind of like a Pacman X Snake Game. Very cool, high marks for innovation for sure.
Nicely done! The art reads very well, and great use of the theme.
Nice job with this game. When you get a lot of ducks it really helps. But as soon as you start losing them you have to really try hard not to get overwhelmed.
The game was really fun!! It was a funky little time i had with it, however i think the starter speed should've been a bit slower, but otherwise it was great!
Simple game, but kept replaying it. The speed definitely seems a bit too fast at the beginning and whenever I bounced off a wall, it felt like it wouldn't move left or right straight away afterwards. Could've been just the speed of it, though. Graphics have a nice retro feel too.
