But I think it would have been enough to just play with a single one and instead enrich the gameplay itself a bit. Nevertheless I really enjoyed your game and the sound effects. Also the simple art style does a great job by  conveying the humor of this game. But to be honest it is really hard for me to hurt a duck.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ETdoFresh","author_uid":"1128658","time":"2018-12-04T20:15:39Z","epoch":1543954539,"modified":1543954539,"text":"High score! 828!

I remained stuck because i did not manage to jump on a platform. too high or perhaps i lost something in the mechanic. I pushed two times jump but it was not enough.

I didn't realize I could shoot down until I started pressing a lot of buttons. I know that the controls are in an image in the description, but by the time the game loaded I already forgot about it. Besides that, I love the quacking sound when you jump. It really sets the mood. You made a solid game for the Compo!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ColeSlaughter","author_uid":"1013882","time":"2018-12-10T06:34:37Z","epoch":1544423677,"modified":1544423677,"text":"As a big fan of Downwell I just had to try this one out. :)  It's obvious that you drew a lot of inspiration from that game, which is really cool to see.\n\nI will say though that starting out the game picking 5 different upgrades is a bit overwhelming.  As a first-time player, since I didn't really know what the game looked like yet or how it controlled, all of my choices were made pretty arbitrarily.  I wasn't given a chance to see my character's moveset evolved as I played, because I was learning everything for the first time.  Perhaps having a tutorial level could help abate this frustration.\n\nI will say that I did enjoy the silliness of this game though. :)  The art style and sound effects really added to the charm (I don't know why everything is ducks, but I love it).  Overall I'd say this was a pretty ambitious game, but you did an impressive job for developing it solo!","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld43\/120967-e26f64de56aa2b41d48834547de2af8f.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/raogs.itch.io\/upwell","text":"HTML5 (web)"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Raogs\/Upwell","text":"Source code"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"50689","g_author":"1002916","g_event":"LD43","g_eventkey":"71","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"234046","g_title":"Upwell","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"448","g_commentcount":"9","g_site2_node_id":"120967","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"120967","n_urlkey":"234046","n_parent":"120415","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/43\/upwell","n_slug":"upwell","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"2916","n_created":"1541897227","n_modified":"1543856993","n_version":"389806","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":120967,"parent":120415,"superparent":9,"author":2916,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2018-12-03T02:36:10Z","created":"2018-11-11T00:47:07Z","modified":"2018-12-03T17:09:53Z","version":389806,"slug":"upwell","name":"Upwell","body":"![scrC.png](\/\/\/raw\/46b\/z\/1ce9c.png)\n1.
