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!
The visual is very cute and nice! The game feels smooth and very well polished too! Amazing job!

Captain InkDaym, 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.

Data Stream HackerI 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

WaweThanks 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
This is my favorite game on this jam - it feels complete and has awesome arts and correct sounds!
Have fun of playing it! Thanks!
