LOVE IT.
Duck cowboy.
I always die by my own boomerang.
Reload should have sound queue as well
great suggestion!
Super fun arcade shooter! I like how the bullets become obstacles as well, it brings an interesting increase in difficulty and makes you play smarter! also i love the cute and silly art :3
I gotta know what that duck has against those bananas man
thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed!
as for the duck... he just can't stand banan-dits
Good job on your game. The art is really cute and the gameplay is enjoyable. I initially thought I was supposed to catch the boomerangs to get my ammo back, but figured out pretty quickly what I was supposed to do! Well done.
thanks for playing! I'm really glad you enjoyed!
Love the art, and the boomerangs feel fun to shoot
thanks for playing!
I wish the looping would be part of the game rather than a game mechanic but I guess that's fine too. Apart from that i'd say it was a pretty fun game. I managed to find one bug, I don't know exactly what triggered it, but I could fire endlessly with infinite ammo
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it. We'd planned a number of other looping mechanics but dropped them to polish the core loop (pun intended)
very satisfying gameplay, I enjoyed it! But I also had the infinite ammo glitch sadly, but I tried to restrain myself with it lol
I loved the art style and I like the boomerang physics, the only thing is that I found two bugs (infinite bullets without reloading and some banana hitboxes doesn't work sometimes) but overall looks good :)
Thanks for playing! we'll fix the bugs post-ratings
Wow, I love your art style! The color palette is absolutely gorgeous!
Man that's a huge compliment coming from you all, your project looks production ready. Thank you!
Great work on your game! I love the theme interpretation with the boomerangs and you executed it very well! I like how you can also hurt yourself so there is a bit of risk/reward to just shooting like crazy. The art is also great and I love the little duck and bananas! The only thing is I encountered a bug when clicking restart where I couldn't shoot and I was invincible but I fixed it with just a refresh. Other than that, great game!
Thanks for playing, I'm really glad you enjoyed the game! (I'll look into the bug and try to address)
Really fun and enjoyable game
thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed
Great art! I loved the idea as well. I think it takes a bit too long for the difficulty to ramp up but other than that it was a great time.
Thanks for playing! I totally agree I turned down the difficult ramp right before submitting and it was too slow
I love the art in the game it super cool
Thanks!
Awesome pixel art! :)
Thanks!
The main character is so cute! As the other comment said I ended up killing myself 99% of the time lmao but it was still fun and I like the take on the theme. Also that song will be stuck in my head forever now I think it was so catchy! Good job!!
Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, the song unfortunately isn't original it's from Andre Sitkov (from an old humble bundle) if you want to use it in your own project.
The characters are cool.
I swear I am more a danger to myself then the enemies. I love it!
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed!
I love the little duck !!
Game was fun, but I would like more opponents, they spawn really slowly
A tips for scoring game like that, is to link the scoring to some collectable with fix spawn rate & different value (to create priority decision). Like that you avoid to have an exponential scoring if putting a lot of opponents
Thanks for playing, and I'll keep that scoring tip in mind!
It's so clever to have to dodge your own attack so you, as a player, dont want to spam shooting too often or else it will be impossible to dodge the coming back boomerang. I had some bug like discharching not working meaning i could always shoot without having to reload. But refreshing the page made the game go away. I feel like the map could have use more enemies. And I don't know why but i would sometimes instantly die with 3 heart while nothing hit me.
Thanks for playing and duly noted on the bugs, I'll tackle after the jam voting is over and see if I can iron them out. The enemy count was suppsed to slowly increase, but it seems like I was too conservative.
Fun game! Haven't seen any boomerang game other than this, and good roster of enemies. could be more polished but overall good job :)
Thanks for playing! I agree, I wish we could have polished it a bit more
I really enjoyed playing this one! I had a bug where I didn't have to reload and was spamming the boomerangs but then so many would come flying back haha. Nice job!
Thanks for playing! I think I might turn that bug into a feature as a power up!
nice and addicting. very crisp visuals
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
