Hi, I’m on a mission to play all the fellow “duck” games.
The gameplay is simple and easy to pick up. It’s a nice complete game. I liked the camera work, it wasn’t just static and following the duck, it was much more dynamic. Good work!

So cute! I like the art style, it fits very well your story (and the duckilings are adorable) Thanks for all the checkpoints, they were very useful to me lol. Great work!

I Beleaf in Yousome of the sections were a little tough, appreciate the generous checkpoints. Loved the game.

DescriptionaryI appreciate the calm atmosphere of your game, I also think it was the right length. I think I was expecting at least another mechanic towards the end, but I'm sure that has to do with time constraints as is usual with jams.
My favorite part was the visuals! Well done

Don't Invade Our Space!Great use of poetry and music to set such pleasant tone for the game! I also actually appreciated the shortness of the game! It was a nice lil refreshing game with a calming effect. Overall, great game :)

The Other SideGreat game! I did get stuck on one level because of the hitboxes but apart from that it was fun! I also love the pixel shader that you’ve used!
Submitted
Hidden HelperLove the intro poem and general vibe of the game! The music is very relaxing :)
On the downside some of the hitboxes felt rather unfair. It wasn't too bad though because there's checkpoints :)

Do Not Climb The MountainI really loved the Pixel Shader! As well as the rhymes in the start & the end. Though I kinda didn't get how roles reversed did fit, but maybe I'm missing something. Regardless very cute game!
Edit: Maybe should've read the description, haha :P

ARE YOU ALIVEFun game, but definitly harder than the music make it seems haha. Favorite detail is how we can bump the floaters a little. Or maybe we cant and the movement and sound makes it satisfying, not sure.

Submitted
