Game's take on the theme
The game has you exchange battle with enemy ducks, and a boss duck. Also, you start with 10 coins and need to exchange 10 coins to play the level. You can earn 1 coin free every 30 seconds in the level select screen, or by defeating the boss. Depending on your clear time, you get more coins to play the level again if you want to get a higher score.

Yes, I created most of the art, and used CC0 music

Did your game use PlusMusic?
No

Did your game use Playroom?
No

Did your game use generative AI art?

I read the other comments and your replies, and I think you got the arcade feel right. A lot of people will be nostalgic when playing this, but for a newer player, I would recommend adding a different mode. I don't know if it would be easy and hard, or modern and arcade, but having the two options would really widen your player base, and I think it's worth it. 

I didn't see anyone else mention it, so it might be a problem with my speakers, but the music seemed a bit loud. 

Love the dog with the shotgun.

Since there are only a few days left, I am rating and giving feedback to games with few ratings. I would appreciate it if you rated my game too. No need to leave comments, unless you feel like it.

Thanks for the experience =]

Hiya! Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like it. I will take all of your recommendations into consideration (I'm always working on a new project, lol). Sure, I'll give your game a try 馃槉

Great UI, really polished feel, and the visuals in game are really charming. Having to wait to try again is a bit annoying, the coins thing does give it a fun arcadey feel but it would be nice if we were exchanging something other than time :) Overall though this is really impressive, especially with all the different controller support. Would love to see the rest of the planned bosses after the jam!

Developer

Heyyy thanks for the feedback! I appreciate all the suggestions and totally agree with you all. I will try to update and include Android, Windows and Mac builds, as well as make it a bit more fair. Maybe add an easy mode with no coins and hard with coins?

Cool oldschool vibes of the game and very aethentical visuals. Really dissapointed with the wainting mechanic at the end of the stage(it was really awkward to wait 3 minutes for another stage, that i already beat). 

Developer

Hey there! Thanks for the feedback. 馃槉 I only implemented it to add an arcade feel to it. It is quite punishing though. I can think about removing it after the jam is over. I agree with you 馃ズ馃憤

I liked the game, especially the art and UI design. I would love to see more than 1 boss in the game though! (what you did have was great so it doesn't matter too much lol)

Developer

Hey there! Thanks so much! 馃榿hehe Believe it or not, some of the UI is inspired by COD World at War 馃槀 Yeah, I wish I had more time. I had 3 levels planned, the 2nd being a Super Mario Bros parody.

I really like the Game, though I don't Completely understand how this is a Bossrush.

Developer
