Aye, things are a tad confusing...I just ran out of time. But future versions will definitely flush out the how-to portion of the game a bit. Basically though, as the theme of the jam was protect, as the ducklings spawn (which to be honest look like tiny sideways fish) you are meant to protect them. You have a mechanic to call your ducklings toward you (X on controller) or tell them to flee from you (B). You can also pick up a stick with 'A' and then run into a monster to 'thwack' it ;) And the score...I didn't even know how to do text until the last minute so I need a lot of UI work.
Thank you for the comments. Lots of work to do! ;)
