Nice work overall. The gameplay is fun and the visuals are clean. 🌟 the cute dog 😍
It has a very creative mechanic implemented with amazing polish that almost feels like a complete game! The execution and attention to detail are really impressive. The red whirlpool levels weren't my personal favorite, but that doesn't take away from the overall quality of the game. The core mechanic is so well executed and polished that it stands out as exceptional work. I don't have too much criticism to offer since this is such a solid entry. Just some additional polish and juice would make this a ready to ship mini game. Overall, this is an outstanding entry. Great job!
Awsome feedback! Thanks so much.
(MIght make it a complete mini game later, maybe switch out the later levels and fix some bugs.)
I'd like more polish ideas cuz implementing those was honestly the most fun part:)
The visual is very cute and nice! The game feels smooth and very well polished too! Amazing job!
Thnak u
Game froze when the brown whirlpools took my duckies! ^^
I enjoyed this game so much in fact, i'd be honored if I could help you guys out with art for game! Great submission!
sorry for the bug, will look into fixing it....
thanks! your game has amazing art as well!
Daym, this is perfect! Actually a complete game and polished well. If you can make this in 7 days, then imagine what you could make in 1 month. That would be an absolute banger. Well done.
Thanks for being really motivating
Excellent game! Great job, very polished.
Wohoo thank you
it´s cute and fun!
THANX
I hope you win, this is the perfect interpretation of the theme and a great execution! ˆvˆ
the only thing that I dislike, if you want some feedback, are most of the "bad whirlpool" levels; they feel quite against what the game looks like it's it's trying to be. If you ask me, I think that them being more like "magnets" of some sort (not swallowing the ducks and allowing you to "rescue" them) would have been more interesting and less frustrating. But that may just be me, everything else is great! congrats! :D
Thanks for the reply:) I think I mostly agree with you the "bad whirlpools/evil blood tornados" need to be more forgiving, as it is the most common complaint I got from people playing the later levels and getting frustrated from needing to constantly restart.
making them temporary nuisances like magnets is definitely a good game design Idea I wish I would have implemented instead.
Ooops =) too late now but I guess after the vote is over I could change things. Realllly grateful for everyone giving feedback about the game! so thnakyu
i love the dogge
the dog says thanks
This is my favorite game on this jam - it feels complete and has awesome arts and correct sounds!

ThankYouSoMuch!!
From the level design and gameplay to the adorable graphics and audio, this game is so polished and so fun!! Sadly I couldn't get past level 14, but that's just a skill issue on my part. It works brilliantly and is such a delight
Thank you so much for the kind words! it means a lot
(Sorrrry if the later levels are tough, I may have rushed making them with very little testing, so it's not just you)
