Cool concept! Really polished game mechanics and really cute sprite design!
I cheesed my way through by making the ducklings hit the enemies, they seem the bug out afterwards.

Scare TacticsInteresting concept! Would be a good fit for mobile with the simplicity of the point and click controls. Bit tricky to get all the ducks to keep following when using arrow keys. Cool game!

TetherGeistgreat idea, duckling management. I thought it was really good, but I felt that the controls could be tightened up a bit, felt it was a bit hard to play.

Control SwitchInteresting idea!
I even got a level highscore under 2 seconds (if you leave a level immediatly the highscore is still set) :DD
Also thanks for list of used tool, i will take a look at the sound creation ones :D

Man Across RiverHi Levi!
How did those little ducklings get so high on the platforms!?
I am a huge fan of ducks and though this game was a fun take on one of their signature behaviors. Tough game! My little ducklings are not very good at platforming!
One thing I found strange was that I could zoom out all the way to see your entire level design(including where the background cuts out!) or all the way in to almost a single pixel. I think that zooming out is nice to see the whole level so you can strategize, but it felt like it should have some limits.
Great music and I had fun!
Best,

Sorcerer Vs. SwordsmanHi Brandon!
Ducklings have mad hops, don’t you know??
Yeah, it’s mostly by design that Momma has to restrain herself to let her ducklings keep up. But there are still some rough edges in my navigation logic that would have made it feel a tad better.
Ah, I forgot to remove the ability to zoom out! Oh well. I think mostly people don’t find it? If you’re using the click-to-auto-navigate controls, then that has some built-in camera panning that makes it easier to see more of the nearby level.
The game is really cool! The music, the artwork makes a cool impression.

Wreck Them All!Sweet game! The point-and-click AI is really impressive and also surprisingly satisfying for navigation. I sometimes forgot that there were manual controls. Overall I love the cute design and aggressively cowardly ducklings. :D
I noticed that the music/sfx were kinda slow/laggy on web, not sure if that was just my machine. Also, sometimes click-based navigation didn't seem to work (when going back down a ledge), and I wasn't sure why.
Great job! :)

Uchi no KiGreat game. The art was cute and the option to point and click or move with keys was a nice touch.

The Wizard and The Firefly:) Thanks! Not my first jam! …but also, I lot of the heavy-lifting was from two libraries I used: one for screen-navigation and GUI-layout, and one for platformer pathfinding.
