Don´t Hit The Ducks! by Joloujed
Made for LD42 : Theme "Running Out of Space"
Don´t Hit The Ducks!
Your father takes you to the forest to hunt and become a real man, but you don´t see the point. Why kill a animal is going to make you a man?. So You better not hit any animal, or you will be traumatized. Easy to say, but there are so many stupid animals in here. What a bad day you will have.
Ps: Also hitting the red ballons counts as missing 10 shots for not good reason;
Have Fun!!
Post Jam Actualization:
I made a version for all platforms(Windowsx86, Windowsx64, Mac, Linuxx86, Linuxx64, Andorid, Html5) so you can all play. I implemented some changes that people sugested, you can enjoy the new version more polished and fair or you can play the "REAL JAM GAME", only for Windowsx64. Thank you so much for playing!
After Jam Changelog(All Platforms):
100% less random aim anoyance.
Better animals spawn rates.
Now ballons explode pussing away the animals YAY!
Rabits now almost never fly (what a shame)
Amazing aniimation for points(OH YEAH!)
UI more or less fixed.(kinda...)
PD: I will apreciated if you leave some feedback on how the versions play, I couldnt test the Mac version or the Linux versions. Thank you so much!

Although i not a big fan of the cursor moving randomly AFTER a click. I get the point of imitating recoil and things but in the end it feels more unfair than challenging.
A constant moving cursor would maybe be more appropriate.
Good job 👍
Nevertheless, cool idea, gameplay, graphics, music, sound, animations. It's all very well done and polished, great job!
The only thing i didn't like is this aim which moves randomly.
I think it will be better if you use your recoil by moving the aim for the next shot and not the shot we fired.
Another thing too, i tried to fire only in one corner and spam fire, i got quickly a lot of points :p, so maybe you should limit the place where we can aim and block the corners.
Otherwise, good game & very nice idea !
I loved the atari-like graphics
Second, isn't there too much ducks ? 
Third, Look mom I've got the highscore !!
And finally, I admit that this game quite addicted me, this so humoristic and vegan !
I'm also intersted on how you manage to export your game on android.
1 Rabits dont fly?
2 Never too many ducks
3 wow that very impresive

Edited: I dont know if the video plays well so here is the link with one space https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yLDxIMuRlo&t=210s
I love the arts. The little screen shaking every time you shot adds a small thing I shouldn't describe.
Very pleasant entry :) (It contains ducks anyway, couldn't have been better)
But i really dont need more reviews so I am happy with the fact that you liked it.
Muchas gracias!
Solid execution, feels good, and the artwork nicely done.
Art, music and gameplay are solid! Very nice entry!
One subtle bug I've found is that if a deer and a rabbit align when you take a shot, the game deducts a missed shot for each of them, so you can end up with a score of -1. **:)**
