wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

floups 2022-10-03 21:49

Incroyable !

As someone with a wasd-Keyboard this hurt. Then i checked the arrow keys and had a lot of fun. Well done!

2022-10-03 23:14

gotta say it was surprisingly more fun than I thought! it just threw me off a little at first that that we had to use the arrow keys like in the olden days

mr-esport 2022-10-04 07:21

Pretty fun ! Neat animations and an unexpected Skill Tree ! I can't get to the Magical Honk tho >< too many enemies

shaukaula 2022-10-04 08:30

Fun game, I loved the art style and the design of this goose!

rincs 2022-10-04 08:32

This was alright. For some reason the sounds were really low even though my laptop volume was at 70%. Not sure what happened there. I feel like it need more feedback when I get hit cause I could never tell (maybe it was sound based, but since it was so quiet I couldn't really hear) and I'd just see my hearts get eaten.

The skill tree is a bit overwhelming at first but I had fun with this. Congrats on the game

borgi 2022-10-04 09:20

Chainsaw was fun to deal with the enemies, but I think the purple one had way too much health :D Anyways fun game, I wish I could remap the controls though, but I understand your situation. I liked the humor of the killer duck and the music fitted also well :D Well Done! :D

tam 2022-10-04 09:29

Okay it was genually fun, I need to play some more to see how I can break it, gg guys !

aramiss 2022-10-04 09:33

juste une masterclasse !

baidan6 2022-10-04 09:42

The game is very fun, especially when you use a chainsaw, but there are problems with the controls, it is not very convenient.

amine 2022-10-04 10:07

trop trop swag, mais à quand les DLC !

zailr 2022-10-04 10:26

when i first opened it I got overwhelmed a bit but then I found out about the arrow keys. Really fun game, I loved the art style!!

selkieharbour 2022-10-04 11:40

The enemy death animation is fun. I liked the overlay skill tree as well but didn't use it as much as the only thing I needed to be a happy goose was a giant chainsaw.

I had to play with the controller & a mouse at the same time (didn't notice that you could use the arrow keys until I read a comment here), as the movement keys weren't WASD and I don't use a french keyboard. Would be nice to have a remap keys option (or just a simple toggle for those rare WASD keyboard holders).

raton 2022-10-04 11:49

Le jeu est incroyable !!! Un jeu comme ça en trois jours mais c'est du jamais vu, vous êtes des GRANDS MALADES !! Tout est un pépita (comme disent nos voisins du sud), seul minuscule bémol selon moi, le fait que des ennemis puissent nous spawn directement dessus :'( Mais sinon BANGER ABSOLU :flushed:

infecsean 2022-10-04 13:48

Peace was never an option. I get that French keyboard uses a different layout, which I believe is the main problem for me. I really like ducks. Death animation makes me feel powerful. Not sure about the relation to the theme. Overall, great game very fun.

Outstanding game which deserves a five star rating from everyone! It is the first game during this GameJam in which I have given a 5-star rating. The combination of the excellent UI, Sprites, Animation, and well thought out and brilliantly implemented core gameplay made the game a hard-hitter in my books. There were a few great, and maybe a few other critiques I have found through my playthroughs of the game.

1. The gameplay was extremely solid. The skill-tree was THE idea which elevated the core gameplay to a higher level. Now, we have seen this implementation many times, but this was nonetheless enjoyable and well thought out. Skills Trees do not work without excellent planning. I give gameplay a solid 4.5. That .5 is gone because this is done a lot!

2. The artistic direction was absolutely hilarious. The title and the combination between the violent gameplay and anger coming from the random people sold the humor of the game for me. Solid.

3. Now, with that being said, I do not see the connection to the theme that well. Sure, it might be added as an element. But the game could have been the same **without** the theme. Personally I feel the game should revolve around theme, it being an *integral* part. That is the main critique from me.

4. The game was *irresistible*, which not many games, even AAA titles could achieve. It was the blend of the humor, art, combat, and theme (not topic) which made for such a great experience. Props to you for thinking of that. The style was extremely appropriate for a Jam! No compromises made, which is seen in 90% of games.

Superb, Magnificent, Splendid and all those words. **The game is a 5.**

i love ducks, i like this game, 5 stars

igor-morgun 2022-10-04 15:37

Time to swim

ineso 2022-10-04 15:43

Thanks a lot everyone for your support and your reviews ! For the people who struggle using a zqsd keyboard, remeber the arrow keys also work, we didn't forget about people that doesn't have an azerty keyboard !

tsuyeau 2022-10-04 16:11

Enzo - Game Designer <3

alexis-le-bourhis 2022-10-04 16:24

Thank you for testing our game! Did anyone tried the Magical HONK? :D

shizuka 2022-10-04 16:33

very funny game, the visuals are good, but the controls are not very intuitive for people with qwerty keyboards and i have problems with the screen resolution, in my pc, some screen elements were cut off on my screen, not being able to see some details, especially on the skill tree screen

100th-coin 2022-10-04 16:40

Oh this was a lot of fun! I wish there was on option to switch to QWERTY layout! I never got to the magical honk, but it's such an intriguing concept that it kept me going for many attempts.

The artwork is fantastic, and I love the concept of a duck defending his pond with a chainsaw and shotgun! Ha!

I recorded myself playing the game if you want even more feedback:

lepletier 2022-10-04 17:11

Nice job! Ducks are the best!

jonrei 2022-10-04 17:13

It was a bit rough for someone used to qwerty as i see people has mentioned before. The game is great tho and the art style is fantastic

iogannes 2022-10-04 17:26

nice skill tree & shotgun sound but controll buttons is poorly!

ineso 2022-10-04 17:42

@100th-Coin @Jonrei @iogannes If you stuggle with the zqsd thing, remember you can use the arrows ! We mentionned it in the description of the game, just in case !

msplanlos 2022-10-04 18:00

Geese never disappoint me.

tharky 2022-10-04 19:13

Cool game, but I do not use an F keyboard so couldn't control it well :(

lejocarry 2022-10-05 09:28

What the fuck game xD You guys got crazy idea ♥

Feedbacks : - let players choose between ZQSD WASD - sounds are way too low - sounds FX

faust-mi 2022-10-05 11:28

They are in the lifebuoy , Johnny!!! Ducks are the best! Nice job!

helzinko 2022-10-05 12:36

I think the most fun game I played in this jam. Ducks rocks

golin 2022-10-05 15:02

Love the pixel art. Since I can't control well I stayed in a corner and go BLRRRRRRR!

e-m 2022-10-05 21:31

Oh my! Really like any goose games, but this one is really cool. I appreciate weapon progression and "Vietnam flashback" feeling)))

lorwon 2022-10-07 14:03

Bien joue le jeu est vraiment sympa

shaggyfox 2022-10-07 20:32

I did not expect a skill-tree :D nice work :)

mantou 2022-10-10 12:52

It's too easy to get hurt. The enemy death animation is kind of gross. I played it several times, hoping to get the skill tree full. But I failed.

epeachyband 2022-10-10 18:44

Very good sumbition. A little bugs, but I am really shocked how many things you fit into game. Thank you!

emaouardi 2022-10-10 23:48

Such a fun game ! Love the art and how cute yet terrifyingly violent the goose seems. I'm now terrified of geese.

tsuyeau 2022-10-12 11:38

@EmaOuardi Don't worry you will have a free Therapy for each game you start XD

nicoledozo 2022-10-12 14:35

Peace OIE's never an option
