Art style is fantastic. Just a heads up that in my browser(chrome) F1 brought me to a new chrome help tab, taking me out of the game. The piano is wonderful, those little accidentals every so often were really, really special and did a lot for the ambiance.
There's no link!
Love the theme. I really wanted to read the note in the beginning, is there a way to do that? If not, that would be a terrific way of sliding in some film noir type backstory, which would bump this to a new level. Love then animation! The bouncing hat walkcycle and jumpboots animations were my favorites Nice!
Graphics and animation are wonderful!
Absolutely love that they have names!! very fun!
What a great game! The blending of light and dark along with the wonderful music was very engaging. One of my favorites so far. My only two notes it that the text in the tutorial is difficult to read because of the bloom, and i wished the game floor had some texture so I could get a sense of how fast I was going in what direction when there weren't any other visual clues. Very fun and beautiful!
Just incredible! The sense of discovery was something truly special. My wife and I both were blown away by the colors. Well done. I just wish it was longer! 5 stars all around!
WOW. IT IS HARD TO BE A WAITER. The learning curve of this game is steep, but the controls are so nice that once you start getting a hang for it, it starts feeling like an earned skill. That is a really difficult sensation to deliver in a game! well done!
Graphics are fantastic, character design is wonderful, and the controls feel really, really nice. Thank you for going the extra mile and adding the ability to change the controls. But my favorite is the overall idea. Emptying your wallet and dodging coins trying to make up for a terrible life is just a gem of a concept. Hope you do keep going with this!
@nammflow @bouyerthedestroyer @interface Thank you! Thank you!
Orange, white and black color scheme was really nice. I loved being able to dodge the bullets, but the sweet spot for bullet dodging was really close to dying. This concept has really good potential!
@drekler Totally missed the height indicator! I played through many times and did not notice. Some kind of gauge would really help. The fact that it gets faster and faster already gets the blood pumping, but having an objective ("I'm too full of myself, need to go in the other direction!") would really help in getting further into the game. Great design and wonderful concept!
Art is great!
YOU FREAKING NAILED IT!!!!! Well done. Chaos. Bloodshed. Cooks. I'm in love with this game.
Graphics are very clean and I was very impressed with the wall jumping mechanics!
Cute game, with surprisingly tight play! Love the concept, and enjoyed the thoughtful challenge of machine downtime and starting positions.
What an incredible idea! Innovation 5 stars!!!
absolument fantastique! Je suis tres impresse! La musique, l'écriture, les graphiques, l'arte, tout est parfait. Ce jeu est ma prefere de la competition entire! La fin de la histoire etait belle est triste and parfait. Bon travaille! Vous etes un (une?) conteur spectaculaire. Je ne peut pas attendre a voir ton jeu prochain! Aussi, desole pour mon francais.
Absolutely love the paper cut out style, and I've never thought about using the mouse controls in that way. The speed and feel of the player character was perfect. My only note would be to start with only one bad guy to allow the player to get used to the controls. Even after 20+ tries, with four bad guys I could get past 8 as a high score. Besides that, well done! A very beautiful and smooth game! Please do more jams!
I thought I was gonna break my space bar!
The flat perspective really works for this game! Also,I always enjoy reading the words, "That's what she said" in a game.
Good work making FPV experience! Bit more explanation to purpose would be nice, but enjoyable overall.
Loved the visuals, the concept was great and the jump mechanics were really great. I would have loved to see the jump be used more in the gameplay. Maybe if you jump on a virus you stun it for a while? Well done! Please do more Ludum Dares!
Really well done! The camera movements were fantastic, putting the controls/instructions on the side of the box in the main menu was super slick. Controls felt nice and I know that with some time, this could be a game a person could get really, really good at (not me :) ). The only thing I would ask for is a quicker way of starting again on the lose screen, by pushing space bar or something like that. A game like this takes a lot of iterations to get a hang of and being able to immediately jump right back in and keep playing would be awesome. That tiny note being said, what a great idea and execution!
Good "hit the beat" game! Took a moment to get used to the timing of the trash stacking changing the arrow placement, but well done overall!
@inferture Thank you so much!!
@alien Thank you! We were really lucky to have some of our actor friends available and willing on such short notice!
@heidelbert Thank you so much! May or may not have pulled an all nighter that last night trying to get it done. We think it was worth it!
@sharks thank you so much! When we came up with the idea on Friday we had a moment of, "this is huge. Are we actually going to try and do this?" But the characters and story were calling to us so strongly, so we went for it!
@grahhhhhhhhh I knew you could do it!! And thank you for the wonderful compliments!
@bigpan Thank you so much! We did it in 72 hours not 48. That would have been truly impossible. :) Cheers!
@elfcirynn First of all, Fite me. Second of all, I want to validate what you are saying because I think it's really important. Third of all, thank you for looking past all the distractions and recognizing Slappy Duck as the beautifully flawed mess of a masterpiece that it is. Okay no more jokes. @elfcirynn @udo Thank you so, so much! We really put our heart and soul into this and to get this kind positive feedback really makes all the work and lack of sleep worth it. Thank you.
Hint for those stuck on the notes password! No Worries, Here's a hint! We don't want anyone missing out on the ending. https://s22.postimg.cc/r7k2nb58h/hint.png

RUNNING OUT OF SPACE ON THE KEYBOARD?! that is so beyond brilliant. I'm pretty sure this is the funniest game I've played for this LD. I would love to see 26 people all on the same keyboard doing this
Decently challenging little game, well done! You should be proud of the work you put in to it. Enjoyed the distinguishable, yet difficult to rapidly remember food items! Had fun playing.
Fun game! The mechanics took a second to get used to (i.e. directional press for movement/action) but enjoyable overall! Nice sound work, music fits the gameplay. Very cute art direction as well!
Fun and decently-themed game! Enjoyed the "ragdoll" burying of the bodies, and the voiceover when the dead rise was a nice surprise. Could use a little balance to money vs. round, but in all, a nice, playable game!
The music is phenomenal! And I love the concept. Well Done!
Hah! Wasn't expecting the wave at about the 1,000 mark, nice surprise! Got a kick out of propping up the tank with the gun as well. Of course, room to expand, but playable and fun. fire from your gun appears to move at the same speed you do, so makes it a little difficult to move in one direction and have cover fire going the same. Well done overall!
Fun experience! Enjoyed the classic "anxiety through repetition" aspect of it, very "I Love Lucy." The music fit the game well!
Interesting mechanic of choosing what your skillset is for each level. Solid effort for the game! And yeah, that Ludum timer does creep up on ya!
Enjoyable! The hazard of blocks falling on you is a nice touch. Makes for quick thinking!
Nice game! The graphics are really nice and the music was perfect. The visuals reminded me a lot of those road play mats they have for kids. I wish the other cars weren't so "sticky", my road rage was definitely coming out which I think means you did a great job!
Good use of the theme! Enjoyed the voice-over work, and good humor in the file names and such. Again, motion controls were a bit difficult to control, but entertaining!
My steam vr started as well. Very beautiful! The glow/bloom and shiny effects were beautiful eye candy. Well done!
Always good to play a game that feels smooth from the onset! Speaks really well in to the theme of 42, and enjoyed the gameplay. Well done!
Great premise! Lots of work went in to the story details, fun to discover! Mechanic worked well for this type of puzzle. In all, excellent work.
Very fun! Mechanics work well, really enjoyed the voice acting (especially the success sound for the divers!). Great first entry!
Extremely creative! Love the intuitive mechanic of the game, and very entertaining humor overall.
An enjoyable experience! The hand-drawn feel is lovely, adds a very unique character to the game. Simple mechanics mean it was pick-up-and-play, so great work!
This definitely needs way more attention! Amazing job! Also, you captured Al Gore's natural beautiful perfectly.
Enjoyed the mechanic of moving + direction of the bombs being separately controlled. Took a second to figure out, but overall an enjoyable experience! Well done!
Tons of potential here, good work on getting the game out! Sound will help it considerably, of course, but you've got some unique mechanics forming. Ambitious go at it for this challenge, well done!
