I like the idea of the upgrade system. 

It took me too long to figure out why I was dying though. Still not entirely sure. Is it because I hit a red duck, is it because a red duck hit me, or is it if any duck hits me? It's hard to gather feathers because it feels I am just randomly dying. It took me a few tries before I even noticed there is a difference between brown and red duck.

For some reason the visual effects that were put into the red goose when it dies (it explodes and damages you if you're nearby) just did not work in the web build, no idea why but yeah, red duck would explode and hurt you

ideally with more time this would've been polished with a menu showing details about different duck types, more tower types and more duck types as well.

I wasn't able to move, or really do anything except throw something and attack the ducks. I was a little bit confused on what was going on. Maybe further playtesting is required? It seemed like a really neat concept having a tower defense game for countdown tho, fun idea!

I actually referenced a game called "Sir, We have an orc problem" to my co dev while making this haha

I unfortunately was unable to play the game due to look sensitivity being way, WAY too high. I even attempted to turn down the DPI of my mouse, as it was a problem I've seen in other games but it didn't really help. Apologies, the concept seemed interesting and I was looking forward to the boss fight!

Im sorry to hear that, genuinely didn't realise it'd be an issue, I still don't see entirely where the issue is but this tells me I should add a sens option to my future games so thank you

I think the game is broken? It's just rubber ducks going down a street??? Are there supposed to be more then that?

Apologies but the game does not progress properly if you die, go back to main menu and then start again, you need to refresh the tab

But there is more! after the timer you fight the boss!
