Thanks for playing and leaving feedback!

base attack takes a bit too long to do for my liking and it was hard to tell when the enemies were actually dead

I had a long internal debate about the attack startup. In Castlevania, you have the whip which helps provide the player so safety when attacking. Thats why I used the quack bubble as the damage dealer. Maybe the delay in when the hitbox actually turns on is the issue. It was kind of hard to balance that out. I also knew how much I tinkered with it, someone would have a legitimate issue about it. As for the enemies being hard to tell if they were dead, I'm not sure if I should have given the player more feedback. Leaving dead things on the ground looked really funny to me and there was a soccer game on the NES, where if enough players were injured, their bodies would stay on the field and it was hilarious to me as kid so thats why they never disappeared after death.

 It also took a while to figure out that I had to attack the first lever to progress in the level, and after that I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to go so I stopped playing after that.

This was the bane of my game. I knew this would be the most common piece of feedback from others and its a shame because the switches and related doors weren't intended. There was actually going to box puzzles, but it was so glitchy that I didn't have time to fix it all the way I wanted, so I pivoted to an easier mechanic, but knew the art for the switches definitely were going to be issue for the player to decide if they were background pieces or things you interact with.

Once again, thanks for playing and the feedback. I will get your game and upload my review as soon as I can!

The boss was the item that just didnt get the attention that it needed. I was burnt out at that point and basically said, "whatever, I know I'll get docked for this, but I'm just too tired to fix this."

I'm glad you liked the theme and self-imposed challenge, I had a lot of frustrating fun with it haha. I'll get to your game as soon as I can!

Haha yeah, all the feedback that has mentioned I foresaw, which was unfortunate, but I like to make the last MVM of the year more goofy and lighthearted. Sometimes that means not as good of a game lol. And yeah, IIRC, you and KKairos won that MVM. I can't remember the title off the top of my head, but the thing that immediately comes to mind was that the player looked like Bobby Hill in a racoon skin hat and I loved that. Gathering lost kittens for that ol' lady was fun as well.

This MVM, I decided to record my playthroughs and ratings so it will take some time to get yours recorded and uploading. Can't wait to see what you and Kkairos have in store for me.

Thanks! I'll have a review posted as soon as I can!

Thanks for playing. I will get to your game. Recording and uploading these videos is taking more time than I anticipated. 

Haha, I can't wait to check it out then. I heard there was another duck game, but I was still trying to catch up on those who already played mine.

Haha thanks for playing! I'm recording my reviews and ratings, so I'll upload yours once I have it played and uploaded!

Thanks for playing! Yeah, the color palette really painted me into a corner. I knew there were some things that would look to similiar and be hard to tell which was interactable or not.

As for the hover, you can only hover after you jump and hold the jump button. If you're falling, you can't enter hover mode (which was something I didn't catch and should have been there).

Thanks a lot! And yeah, I knew that was going to be a problem. I tried different ways to fix it it, but i think I painted myself into a corner on that one :S.

I'm recording and uploading my feedback videos so I'll link my review to your games as soon as I can upload it.

Thanks a lot for playing and leaving feedback! Your game is on my list to play, so expect a youtube link for feedback sometime soon!

Thanks a lot for playing! Yeah, I'm really kicking myself for not making it clearer to the player. I knew the most consistent feedback I would receive would be people getting lost because of not seeing switches to unlock and what they unlock.

My feedback will be delayed a bit. I'm recording and uploading all my playthroughs as I work through them. Definitely will get your game!

Thanks a lot for the feedback and playing my game! I too felt it was little to linear, its something I need to fix in future entries. The barn background was the first thing cut when I started running out of time. I thought it would be better for the player to recognize more important things, but we all make assumptions that don't turn out to be true.

The divebomb issue I saw at the end of testing. What I would have done was create a separate hurtbox for the dive and sized it fairly. I just didn't have time at that point. And yeah, I love my maps! The more rooms you have, the more important it is to have one. And being dynamic really helps.

Thanks for playing!

Edit: My feedback will be delayed. I'm recording my playthroughs and ratings and uploading them.

It sounds like getting lost is going to be the most consistent point being made with this entry. I anticipated it too. I knew it was possible that people would completely miss switches. I'm glad you caught it though! And yeah, I love the quack haha. Thanks again for playing!

I love the old NES aesthetic and feel also and I think you nailed it, even down to the controls and delayed attack, etc. I love how the actual QUACK onomatopoeia itself is the attack!

That means a lot to me thanks! I really wanted to keep to my self-imposed limitations. I think the available colors hurt me a little, but I think my favorite piece were the ladders. And yeah, I knew I needed a way to establish distance due to the animation not extending enough. I thought about the castlevania whip and quickly decided that's how I was going to fix that issue.

 I think you should put a little more color on the levers to designate them as something different. I missed the first one and ended up searching all around and even backtracking all the way to the beginning to try to find what I had missed.

This one bothered me so much. I knew people were going to struggle with it and I thought about putting the first lever to the left of the ladder, but a wood beam is right there and I was afraid it would be mistaken for background art.  I assumed the players would want to pacify the hens and eventually see the lever, or they would see it by its lonesome if they were on the ground floor. I blame the colors I had to work with lol.

Music is fantastic btw! I wish this jam had us grading graphics, sound, music, etc also. Between it and the aesthetic, it actually reminded me of Duck Tales a lot!

This is awesome to hear. I've never used a tracker before, so a couple days before the jam, I watched a tutorial series on Famitracker. I toyed with it a bit and then transferred that over to Furnace. The only track made in Famitracker was the Quack Rap in the post action report.

Almost forgot to say that I love all the stats at the end also. I think that this game would be fun to speedrun and also to try a pacifist run on also, especially if you add seconds to the timer and add an enemies counter stat also.

I actually do have a kill stats, but it was hidden. I guess at some point, I turned its visibility off and never turned it back on. I also really thought about making it so that you can speedrun and also do a pacifist run. Problem was that I didn't have the energy to make a different crow so that those wouldn't be counted.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. My feedback is going to be delayed on games because I'm recording them and uploading them, but I will get to your game!
