Hi Starshine, congrats on your submission! I really resonated with your in-game messages, similarly having a full time job and big dreams of games I'd like to try and start making. I'm very happy that Matt convinced you to see the project through to completion. I was watching a GDC talk the other day where the overall message was "Real artists SHIP!" So many people sit around and *think* about making games, but you actually entered the arena, found an appropriate scope, and created something you can call your own, as well as built a host of skills that you can continue growing from here.
You've shown that you can create a cohesive aesthetic, where the art style, music, and theme of the game all gel together well. So keep going, and best of luck in your future projects!
Certainly not a bad proof of concept, could see this being expanded into something along the lines of the ducks quest for knowledge. Perhaps some puzzles or riddles hidden within the books you read.
I can totally understand how 2 weeks might seem like a lot at first. But nevertheless nice to see that you didn't drop out and finish a game after all even if you couldn't finish the first project you though of and even if the game itself is short it was still a nice experience overall. So very well done :D.

Very cute! Perfect for an entry to a My First Game Jam.
Nice music and pleasing sprites. Very well done on not giving up i know the feeling of having a full time job and coming back home exhausted.
It may not be much but I like the little duckie.
