Hey Zookiwi 👋!

There are several aspects I liked about your game.

I also added some suggestions that I think may improve the experience even further.

What I Liked:

  • Visuals: The color scheme, theme, and art style were well-chosen and made the game visually appealing. These elements helped create a unique atmosphere.
  • Ducks Mechanic: The behavior of ducks, especially when they launch high-up unexpectedly, added an enjoyable feel to the gameplay.
  • Game Concept: The core concept of the game is great. I'm interested in seeing how it develops further.

Suggestions for Improvement:

  • Dialogue Interaction: Making dialogue touch-triggered could improve the game flow by allowing players to move through conversations at their own pace, accommodating different reading speeds.
  • Animations: Adding more animations, like hurt and waddle, could make the game feel more alive and enhance player immersion.
  • Collision Impact: Adding more weight to hits when the hammer connects with the invading ducks could improve game feel.
  • Audio-Visual Synchronization: I noticed a desynchronization between the hammer hit sound and animations when holding down the left mouse button, you could potentially improve immersion by syncing this up.
  • Progression Feedback: It was sometimes hard to tell how I was progressing, although it did become more obvious once the duck spawn rate shot up. Clearer indicators of progression could help keep players informed about their achievements.
  • Power-Up Drops: Introducing power-up drops could add a new layer of strategy and variety to the game, making it more engaging.

I enjoyed playing your game and think these adjustments could help refine it. I appreciate the effort put into its development and look forward to its progression.

It was fun to play,  maybe the initial dialog could be a little fast or maybe skippable using a key , great idea I like it,  What do you think about putting  a healthbar on enemies?

Developer(+1)

Yes there is a key actually (escape) that I forgot to tell the player about lol, also the healthbar thing is something I wanted to do but kinda ran out of time sadly, I might update the game though! :) Thanks for the feedback
