Honestly a very wholesome game. Would make a great puzzle game if finished

Great idea and a great execution. The only bad thing in this is that the boxes can get stuck in already filled holes.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I really appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed :)

Yeah the boxes can be a bit frustrating, I ran out of time so that's the best I could get unfortunately.

Overall great game, beautiful art and animations, amazing sounds and music, and I love ducks, I wish I could have freed all of them :)

It was very nice, felt smooth to control & the audio was very cute ;) maybe think about adding arrows movement for azerty keyboard, I made a lot of mistakes because of that!

Well done anyway :chicken:

Graphics and audio are very nice! I like how you use the theme and controls are very pleasant but maybe the game is too short and i'd like to play more. Very nice game's title reference to Duck Tales :) Good job!

The visuals are really cute, the sound effects were nice and the music fit the game very well. The boxes were a little frustrating, though.

Also, I think the tone of the game could be considered a little dark (especially with the chef at the end). Not sure if that's a bad thing or a good one.

Thanks for the awesome feedback guys! :)

Yeah, I agree that the boxes turned out to be a bit frustrating :cry:

@pattedecanaard I wish we had more time to do more levels. We even wanted a boss battle with the butcher at the end but we ran out of time unfortunately. The Duck could have attacked with a whip-like tail, hence the pun Duck Tails. Nice catch with the reference ;)

The game is nice. I liked the sounds and the music but the boxes are a little frustrating. This can become a very good game if you continue it.

Pretty nice game! I love animations and graphics. Boxes' colliders sometimes stuck on each other and chickens are trying to commit suicide by launching themselves at you at the first time) But I guess you'll tune it next time. Great job!

Very polished game! I like the drawing of the duck in main menu a lot. And it's fun to play with several parts where you play with player's expectations.

Short and sweet!

Well, the level is short and the presentation is sweet (with silky smooth animations). Other than that there are some rad, mother ducking death machines in there! Think of the ducklings!

The hitbox issue is the only one I really have and you've been getting that from everyone, so... Add one to the list.

Solid work!

Thanks for the feedback guys. Yeah the box colliders can be pretty annoying.

@n-feofentov I gotta admit I like the little suicidal ducklings. They are supposed to be hard to look out for! :duck:

Nice game, I'd call it Super Meat Duck :)

The graphics is simple but cool, same for music and sounds. The physics and collisions could probably use a bit of tuning, but that's fine. I was playing at very low FPS which added some more challenge to the game but overall it was fun to try out and the cliffhanger at the end... :)

Great job!

I loved the animations and fun voices!
Honestly i didn't make it through the double saw blades.
Great game otherwise!

Nice graphics and animation, sounds are really cute. The puzzle were quite good too.

I just got stuck at one point : manage to have the chicks unblock it once, twice, but not the third time.

Great game, really cute! Nice graphics and sounds too. Only real issue is the box physics, sometimes they get stuck and sometimes they get pushed right over the hole. Great job overall!

It was cool! I liked the graphics, music and outro. It would be nice if the gameplay was a bit longer!
