Always a fan of a good ol' goose game so this was an instant-click for me :duck: I really enjoyed how fast paced this platformer was and it definitely added to the urgency of the LD theme this time around! Overall great game, my only recommendation would be to add a barrier to the first level (as I initially tried to go left and started falling forever). Overall, great work and fun game :smile_cat:
For how barebones the concept and graphics were, this game was pretty fun! Wall jumping will always be the best platformer mechanic and the game feels pretty fluid, though a bit tricky since the 10 second interval is barely enough time to reach the next checkpoint.
Really simple and fun little game! The only issue I had with the game was not being able to reset your timer by going back to the previous checkpoint. A few times, I messed up instantly and went back to stay alive, but instead I had to watch the timer slowly tick down. Another way this could be addressed is adding a way to reset to the checkpoint with the click of a button. The timers being tight made things fun, but when you messed up right away, I wish there was a way to get right back into things. Overall, great game! :D

I like how you can manually kill the duck c:<
This game had the better jump physics than most other platformers. great job!
@fishy-f1shy Just for you to appreciate the game a little more, there is already a reset button ! It kills the duck and makes you go back to the previous checkpoint ! (delete for keyboard, and some button with the controller) Thanks everyone for your feedbacks ! :smile:
Had fun playing it! You just have to love geese!

This was a fun game!! The movement is great and I love the little character. It would have been helpful if there was an even clearer indicator of the ten-second countdown, but overall it was fun!
Movement felt nice and it was definitely a tough challenge! Would have liked to hear some music and/or sound effects though.
this was the best game ive ever played in my life, i love ducks. i wish there was more ducks
@fawntune We keep that in mind, thanks ! @manchmalscott We thought about adding some music, but sadly none of us is a musician, and we couldn't find a song or a loop that matches the mood of our game in that little bit of time ! :( @adam-gallina More duck for more happiness ! (even tho this one exploses…)

The movement are fluid, and the duck art is good, I would like to see more of this art in the game.
Good entry! Fast pace reminds me smth like Super Meat Boy. There is a lack of art it the game I think because of lack of time. Anyway, great entry, especially for the first time! Good luck to u and your friends
Love the duck, very cute! The level design was pretty good as well, albeit it leant more towards difficult since often if you made one mistake you were done, but that just upped the pressure and fun level.

Hey well done, the game is pretty fun. I like the fact that the timer starts only when you leave the "start zone". New mechanics are presented gradually which is cool ! Good job.

Simple, but nicely done :) Ducks are always a plus ;) Unfornunately, it's to hard for me :( After dying 10 times in 2nd level i had to give up.
Pretty solid, fast paced game. I like the duck animations.
The game's pretty tough, I also dropped out at second level, when I realized I wasn't going make it in time. Unfortunately there's no music or sounds, but I could imagine something hilarious with the rest of the aesthetic.
Good job.
Solid platformer. Reminds me a lot of Super Meat Boy. It's a little too difficult for me. You might want to look into making the early levels easier and slowly progress to be harder. I wish the game had music and sound effects. Love the art and animation. Very quirky. I love the eyes of the duck in the main menu and the way the duck flaps his wings. Great job!
Thanks for your comments and feedbacks, if you have a controller, try the game with it, it might feel easier ! We will keep working on the game, adding different levels with a progressive difficulty !
