EDIT: Thank you all for your comments, I really appreciate it! I am glad you liked my game :)

EDIT2: I always read your comments and take them into account(for this or the next game). I definitely plan on expanding the concept when I have ideas that can make that happen. For insights on some decisions for the game design, you may find interesting reading the post mortem post. Thanks!

This is a cool idea. The tiny pixel art is nice to watch. I particularly enjoy walking with my flock.

A nice little game. It was fun roaming the map and getting more and more ducks. Those robots took a while to go down though, haha. Best to group them and spam bread while running away. Nice application of the theme, well done.

Nice! I loved my army of ducks from hell! I was great sending them to destroy the giants :) Thanks!

This was amazing. i love the art and there's just something so satisfying about controlling where a flock of birds goes. i kinda just sat around bringing my birds everwhere i could instead of focusing on fighting

Very nice, I loved the idea, but everything was a bit too small and hard to sea. That idea seemed to fit in with the ducks, but not the player. Then, i played again and saw how great small pixels are. All in all very nice game.

That was really cool. Watching my army of ducks taking down 4 giant robots was oddly satisfying...lol. Short game but lots of fun, great job :)

Really nice game here. Some things could be better, but a really nice idea. Was a bit easy if i stayed away from the giants and clicked by the edge of the screen, cause then they couldn't attack me it seem. Really nice feel fighting them however. good job.

Bets game so far; This is the bets game i have played so far. Very well done. Love the duck sounds and the way they move around the player. The only flaw with it is that there is not enough variety to the attacks or movement of the ducks. But love the concept and the execution. Well done :)

Funny concept and a fun gameplay experience, was a little short, but music was good. Hard to find giants and could use a bit more of a challenge.

Loved your concept, Ernesto! The golem art is so sick.

Ducks could do with a bit of flocking AI to seperate them, they sort've all fuse together when attacking :p Interesting idea though

5 stars in innovation! Great I really like how small the player and birds are. Awesome music too. Yes, of course I supported the game with some $!

As a fellow duck-based combat enthusiast, I highly approve.

I like gathering your flock of ducks with bread. It would be nice if the ducks latched onto the golems like Pikmin so I didn't need to keep repeatedly clicking.

I AM A MIGHTY DUCK GOD.

Seriously though, I really enjoyed the concept. Everything from the nifty art style to the pounding music to the ducks really solidified the experience for me.

Lovely minimalist style and hilarious game mechanic. I felt quite powerful harnessing the strength of a duck swarm. Great job!

Enjoyable duck animations! Those giants really take a long time to go down, though.

Clever idea for a game. Spam-clicking was a little overpowered. Perhaps making the ducks much stronger and adding a bread throwing (clicking) limit would have made it more strategic.

As a child, I used the same weapon :) Really fun game and quite hard.

the concept is smart, but the game is a bit too simple and short.

Cool idea. It's simple but pretty fun. I didn't realise ducks were such badasses.

I liked this a lot, great fun :) Some more feedback on ducks damaging golems (and bullets?) would have felt good, otherwise - no complains. Seems to have a lot of potential for future development, I hope you'll keep it up :)

Nice job! I died many times, but my chicken strike-force defeated the things eventually!

Hahah, duck duck attack! pretty funny game, and nice music as well! Maybe the enemies could take different directions, at some point they are all moving together.

Pretty cool!

You explored a mechanic that is a difficult undertaking and pulled it off and made it look good and most importantly, be fun to play! I really enjoyed it.

That's a fun game. Very playable but pretty easy and short when you get used to it.

But a nice experiment thought :).

Nice work on the graphics & sound! The flock movement works well too, at least when we're not spamming the mouse too much :P

The gameplay itself is fun for 3min it takes to finish it, otherwise sadly there's not much strategy/replayability in here, I kept clicking the golems to death and it worked :P

I've thought a bit about possible improvements to make the game more strategic... Maybe you could make the golems be afraid of the birds, but give finer control over the flock, letting the player try to surround the golems and attack them from all directions? Or something like that!

Quite the funny game! I included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/eqkTJc6zIls
