Horrific, it's great, haha. Frantic and fun, very quick to pick up and I played a few rounds trying to last longer and longer. Well done.

Really cool good shit

A fellow Ovani Sound enthusiast, I got 383 kwakt and wow was it frenetic. Awesome design and it took me a second to realize the criticality of crackers 383 kwakt.png

I made it up to over 500 gold at the end of a round. Absolutely horrifying, would play again.

Im scarred for life. great game

sviborg 2024-10-08 11:25

Screenshot_18.jpg The perfect mix of crazy fun and horror, keeping me on the edge of my seat with each round. I played several times trying to beat my previous score - absolutely addictive! 💪 The graphics are fantastic and the design is top notch. Those pesky ducks definitely add to the challenge! Overall, great job ! Keep up the good work! 🎉🌟

karamelika22 2024-10-08 16:53

I had fun playing.....interesting idea)

wouter52 2024-10-08 18:57

I laughed out loud here hahahahaha this one is so fun! The way they squeeck when crackers are left on the street, the reference to that aweful song that lives rent-free in my head since 2012, its just perfect

I had fun playing yours 10/10 for fun!

Btw, I saw you have played mine too! I saw your name on the highscore table. Did you like it?

@broheartttv We also used their music in LD 55, so far they seem to always have something that really fits for the mood we're going for. I think all the source files for sound effects except for the duck quack came from Ovani's Audio Arcade pack they had on Humble Bundle a while back. I mixed a few of the sounds and added effects in fmod to craft the sound I wanted. It was the first time I used fmod, so I didn't use Ovani's Unity plugin, I just manually set the loop region for the music and it came out great.

wheelsx 2024-10-08 19:23

@wouter52 I did enjoy yours. I realize I forgot to leave a comment, so I went and did that real quick. Yours was the second game I played and I was just elated that I got my web build working after 2 hours of extra work and forgot to comment.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to mention The Duck Song... I wondered if people even remembered it.

wouter52 2024-10-08 19:27

@wheelsx talking about internet culture :grin: Glad you liked it! I just read your comment :-)

Those hours before submitting-hour are the crunchiest ones. I feel honored that our game was one of your first plays!

wheelsx 2024-10-08 19:35

@wouter52 I play the games made by people I follow first. I looked back through your library, and LD 52 was the first game of yours I played, I remember really enjoying that one. But I didn't follow you until sometime after LD 53, so I missed your LD 53 entry.

wouter52 2024-10-08 19:47

@wheelsx Cool! I've got the same system :-)

drinlan 2024-10-09 01:02

This one got me hooked for many rounds. I ended up filling everything with traps, but even then, smashing ducks with the hammer was still the most satisfying part.

Now THIS is how you make a gamejam game. It's stupid funny, straight to the point and simple to understand. I spent way too much time trying to get a high score.

Nice job

At some point (around 7500) I just gave up using the hammer and let the traps do the work for me 😅

bradjste 2024-10-09 04:40

Great game! Felt like a nice mix between PvZ and whack-a-mole. Great models btw, looks great

matso 2024-10-09 05:36

Satisfying to smash those lil pond puppies right before they succeed at getting at graping you and make their victory quack. Good use of "lite/like" mechanic by carrying over coins - keeps you playing. Great work!

morepixels 2024-10-09 05:40

Really fun, but wish there was an auto-click for the hammer, felt like I was getting carpal tunnel

human-writes-code 2024-10-09 08:29

Look. I'm a man who loves his grapes. I won't apologise for that. And yes, yes I _did_ smash literally thousands of ducklings to death with a giant hammer just to protect my single bowl of grapes. I admit it. And you know what... I don't regret a single thing. Those little duckers were after my grapes! MY GRAPES!

Also... great game! Really fun and well made. Perfect balance of cute and unhinged. Great work!

dudum-lare 2024-10-09 09:11

this is a great gamejam game!! but poor duckies! :-(

4tr33 2024-10-09 10:34

Although it's fun, the ducks are a bit pitiful haha. It would be even better if players were provided with random buffs between each level

raivk 2024-10-09 11:46

What did I just play? I can't deny it, it's fun to absolutely wreck havok on the duckies! Nice entry. It could be cool to be able to upgrade the hammer in order to make it even more fun to squish ducks!

wheelsx 2024-10-09 15:08

@raivk We had plans for unlocking more weapons, but we didn't have enough time to get any of that in.

tinykidtoo 2024-10-09 17:40

Something about this is really juicy and addictive. It's very frantic, but I think this makes it pretty fun.

martingonn 2024-10-10 04:37

Gave so much fun! Can become really addictive because the coins pass onto the other round! Are quackerz something else that ducks? I hope so, because I turned so many of them into jam… Great work!

jk5000 2024-10-10 17:19

This is really dumb fun, and I love it. Great job.

langit 2024-10-11 04:09

I was giggling playing this. I eventually got to the point where every tile was filled with spike traps, and felt really bad for murdering so many ducks.

oliver-day 2024-10-11 11:31

It was a bit sad for me seeing all the ducks die so not really my style but liked gameplay.

autotrophian 2024-10-11 17:51

dianavi 2024-10-20 16:57

Poor ducks TwT. Why is it so satisfying to smash ducks... I'm a monster TwT. Very fun gameplay, good job!
