That is oneeee fast duck!  :D  I for one love spamming arrows like a madman.  This was a fun little entry.  :)

Developer

Thank you! :D

I really liked how many arrows this guy can throw. He was on a mission for that bread.

Shadow casting effect for line of sight was a nice touch. Ideally I'd like it to pause briefly after I lose so that I can see my score, which I often missed because it got quite hectic.

Really fun idea, enjoyed playing it, good job!

Since I'm a duck I had to play this game. I know exactly what happened to this duck, the same happened to me the first time a human gave me some bread.

But what I'd tell this little duck is to go easier on the amount of arrows, sometimes less is more. Also trees are not stopping the arrows, that would have been very helpful to me back then now that I think of it..

Anyway, congrats on your first game jam experience! is a nice game.

BTW, on the game I created I originally placed some light effects that were pretty, but really made the game too laggy for many people so I had to removed them. They are pretty but they don't make the game so if you are looking to improve the performance issues, I'd start from there ;)

Right on with the controls & rapid fire shooting! I've been telling other submissions to make controls like this and to make them shoot faster. My only critique would be to throw in an easy check to see if an enemy about to be spawned at a point is within a certain distance of the duck--that would save the frustration of dying from it spawning on top of the duck.

For your first game as you said, this is a great submission! I would have had less spammy arrows but that was fun to do anyway

A fellow duck, it's silly, kinda fun, not really much to it. Not bad overall.

Hi there fellow ducks

Not sure if I'm supposed to be able to shoot through walls, pathfinding for the enemies would be nice.

Developer

You can shoot though the trees, and I tried path finding but I gave up. I hope my next game and implement it,thanks for the feedback
