Really fun! I'm in love with the artstyle! I found the controls a bit weird at first, but I just need to get used to it

Developer(+2)

Thanks! You can change the controls in the settings

Oh, I didn't check that

The Pixel art in this game is just insane. Gameplay is super fun, it feels less like a Jam and more like a game I would buy, the attention to detail is great. Good job!

This game feels so complete! There are tons of bosses and many characters that drastically change the playstyle. The art is incredible, and it's super fun, amazing game!

Omg this game looks so good, the visual style and character design are great, the pixel art is amazing, better than some full indie games. The amount of content with a bunch of bosses, multiple characters and different tools is crazy! I love what you guys did it!

I feel like I'd love this more if the combat felt less random and slow. Except the character that can double jump the characters are very slow and can't do much to dodge attacks. It feels very frame perfect and for some attacks you can't do anything if the boss cast the attack in a certain pattern (like the floating rocks that sometimes literally block me because I need to collide with the boss to dodge, which is just less worse than taking the 10 damage from the rocks).

Outside of this it's cool, you did an impressive job for animations and visuals, and the bosses are quite unique. I really appreciate the tutorial, simple and effective. Also the character that attacks with ducks is too fun to lay, there should literally be a whole game based around this!

This looks very polished and feels good to play. Awesome work!

kinda looks like kirby and the amazing mirror, amazin game had lots of fun!

What an AMAZING game! the visuals look awesome and the gameplay is quite fun!

(P.S.: If you're willing to I'd love it if you can rate and leave some feedback on my game! This is my first ever jam and I'd love to see where I can improve for the future!)

So good! Combat feels great, each character and boss is unique and well designed, attacks are well telegraphed, art and music are great, difficulty is fair. Only very minor criticisms would be some of the hitboxes are a little big and some attacks lock you into the animation a while, which together can make it a bit frustrating. but overall still a very solid 5/5.

Gamepad support is a grat touch. I found it really hard to play on keyboard. I love how the game is thought through, the bosses, the upgrades and the style.

Did you do all the artwork yourself? Amazing.

Please rate mine cute duck game.

Developer(+1)

Yes all artwork is custom for this game, made in one month. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Truly amazing

What a FANTASTIC game! I fell in love with the lore. The visuals, music, and gameplay are really good!

Game is real solid! Valerie is a particularly fun character for me ( I love melee!)

The game deserves a lot of praise, combat is simple and well put together, it's a great slower-paced hollow-knight esque combat, which much more deliberate slashes. There's good pacing in the action which I enjoy, the large variety of bosses and the great presentation.

I want to shoutout the music being particularly great in the game, really pulls you into the action.

Only nitpick would be that the controls can take some time to get used to, dashes are very slow and some attacks can lock you in which is rough. This comes from the perspective of a DMC player that really enjoys fast-paced slash-em-up, so take it with a grain of salt.

Nice game

Very BEAUTIFUL game, I totally loved it, I just couldn't adapt so well to the controls because there are so many buttons, but even so the experience of playing was very good. Congratulations on the game❤️
