Pretty fun, and a very cute idea! I do wish the ducks were a little bit faster, got a bit impatient waiting for them, but I suppose that's what being a mother duck is like! xD Really lovely art and music, super charming entry!!
The eerie music in a seemingly innocent game really gave me duck-bumps haha. I think its cute. But I could only find 4 ducklings. I'm a bad mom lol
Funny idea and interesting interpretation of the "summoning" theme. Would be cool to add some more puzzle elements to make the gameplay more interesting. Quack!
Ducks are looking amazing but the background needs a little work, it is a little hard on the eyes also it was quite hard to locate the barriers and the walls other than that a great game
Interesting take on the theme, and lots of nice small touches like the screen darkening as the day goes on. The quite cutesy art style mixed with the sinister music as night closes in comes together pretty well I think!
QUACK!
This was fun! Really enjoyed it, game looked really good and played well!
I love this game. Re comment above about being impatient and wishing the ducks would go faster, I figure that is the point of the game. I love that, you try to go fast but then one of your ducklings gets left behind, and you have to go slow and steady. This was really clever. The art style is lovely as well.
Fun twist on the theme to help it stand out! The art is great and the music makes the impending night feel really ominous. Some of the terrain could be more clear as to if it was walkable or not and like the other comment I wish I could quack to speed the ducklings up a tad as navigating them around wide corners but a little tedious towards the end.
Gorgeous game and very cute, but the ducklings were a bit too slowand kept getting stuck. It said I had founf 4/1 ducklings so no idea how many I was supposed to be looking for because I still failed. The biggest improvement however is some kind of indication of when a duck has recognised the quack. I often had to quack, walk away, see if it was following, walk back even closer, quack again, walk away again etc. Also they get stuck on the scenery a little. This game is so close to being fantastic with just a few quality of life improvements.
Thanks guys, much appreciated!
@ghosttori You just have to deal with it.. some ducklings never make it back :slight_frown: Glad you like it!
@universeflow Yeah, the plan was a lot more things to be added, but hey, maybe in the future! Quack!
@skizil @danb18 Agree, the background needs a complete rework as well as the collisions.
@jhax @morepixels QUACK!
@rockers It's exactly what I was going for, duck can get stuck, they are slower, harder when there are more. :smile:
@the4thcircle Great feedback, thanks! I used a crappy font, it suppose to be 0 / 7, sorry about that. Agree with you on everything, however I wanted to make the ducklings slower and harder to move around the terrain (which needs a complete rework)
I had fun finding all the ducks, also enjoyed the graphics. The movement seemed a bit off (like going faster when going diagonally and being pretty slow to move), also some things that seemed like obstacles were not which was a bit confusing. Overall great job tho :)
Love the theme and the dedicated QUACK button! I liked the tree branch you can walk over although it is a bit hard to see.
Lovely graphics, and a cool take on the theme :) I did feel extremely stressed about those last two duckies I never found... My duckies nooo :sob:
Was almost late for college today playing this game because I refused to give up on my ducklings lol! Fun game! fun concept! I especially liked how you had to keep all the ducklings with you for fear of they would wander off if you just left them by the coop unattended! Great work!
The graphics are so darn cute!!! Loved the game, I had to play it 3 times to get them all but seeing them safe and sound was worth it. Very nice approach on the theme, good job!
Interesting (and cute) take on the theme. Couldn't find 2 of my ducks, but I'll give another try later! Every game should have a QUACK button hahaha
Cute graphics, nice music and take on the theme! It was quite difficult to keep the ducklings following you, but overall the game is fun, good job!
Absolutely awesome game!! Your take on the theme is very innovative. The art is just wonderful and I really liked the use of shadow to make some paths more visible than other. The game is adequatly challenging too. Took me about 5 tries to get all the ducklings. Great work all over!!
Very good graphics! I liked it! And the game itself is simple and enjoyable! Good job!
Very simple game, nothing too exciting, but I didn't run into any bugs. The graphics were pleasant but the sprites didn't match the background very well, and everything felt pretty flat with no depth effects. The music and "quack" effect were nice.
Cute art, I found all the ducklings. The music got me worrying tho!
Loved it, partly cause I like ducks IMAO *quack*! But nice game mechanics, art was very charming and game looked polished. Cute game. GG :D
