  • The cutest rage game ever. Great decision to have the two modes so it was still possible to explore the level! Very hard even from the beginning, would have benefitted from a more gradual slope of difficulty, but I also get that's part of the appeal! Natural checkpoints with the way the levels are smartly designed. Bit of audio fatigue with the same water sound effect on every launch though.
  • Pretty fun and challenging. The game was sometimes a little frustrating because of how fast the duck floats. But the overall gameplay was pretty enjoyable, and the art style was nice.
  • Holy moly I really liked this one! The game play and concept was really refreshing and engaging to me!!

How does the game fit into the theme?
"Forward" is just a state of mind. You have to keep moving forward (down) to beat our game while the duck keeps moving forward (up).

What premade assets did you use if any?
All hand drawn

I really liked the art style; it's very cute and sweet. The gameplay is fun, but on easy mode, haha. Normal mode was actually too difficult for me.

I still enjoyed the game until the end, very good work! :D

The handdrawn art is magnificent. The buoyancy in the easy mode was a little bit too much for me, because I was playing the game on my laptop and the mouse controls were a little bit clumsy for me. It would have been more relaxing if the game was a little bit easier, or perhaps there could be a "laptop mode" of difficulty. I understand why arrow keys alone won't work - it is because the strength of the dive is also taken into account.

Overall, I was impressed with the art and mechanism of the game. Thank you for making it!

Such a cute game! I really liked the challenge mode; it made the game more strategic as you had to plan out your path in advance. Reminds me of games like Jump King. Well done! :)

This is such a great game concept and the art is beautiful! Its also kinda scary because just yesterday I was thinking of a new game and in my mind it was eerily similar to the mechanic you use. Very nice job!
