Duck Spawner by LDJam user 386211

[raw]
made by LDJam user 386211 for Ludum Dare 55 (COMPO)

You are the summoner of ducks. Spawn all the ducks you can and they will follow you anywhere. That's it!

Note: sound starts automatically, I suggest lowering your volume just in case.

Post-submission note: Managed to add a web build now :3

Hmm.. Human muisc. I like it.

Well, there are no false promises. And I love ducks!

And the game runs on Linux through Wine, so that's extra points!

Also, just trying to help you, I can create a Godot web build, but the LD version wouldn't work because of missing HTTP Headers. LD's embedding guide is also outdated. Perhaps that's the reason it's not working? My solution for that is uploading it to another place (in my case, I have my own server for that) or you could upload it to itch.io (make sure to check "SharedArrayBuffer support")

Ah yes

The Duck Navy

Cute art! Music is kinda ehhhh. Gameplay is obviously built to summon ducks - which it does flawlessly - so I can't really dock points for that. There might be potential in a duck themed clicker game. Thank you for your game! :heart:

I'm not gonna download a game here, but my build works on itch.io (using godot, compatibility mode), while not here. So maybe that could work for you, too? Sorry, if you already tried that, like 20 times :D

Good game, it is satisfying to see how the ducks progressively turn to follow the mouse when there are many

@ooboob I managed to add a web build now, if you wanna look :)

@phobos001 yes, unfortunately I didn't quite get my ducks in a row in advance regarding music software :/ but now I know for next time

@altaf-creator it turned out I was missing some files when I uploaded the first time, now it's fixed, thanks for the tips <3

Once it hits 300, my laptop starts to struggle.

I didn't know it, but summoning ducks is really addictive!
🎤 LDJam user 386211
15. Apr 2024 · 18:13 UTC
@milq same for me, that's probably because each duck is a whole new object in Godot's system, it can definitely be improved!

For me it started lagging after about 300 ducks. The fact that they followed the mouse was such a nice feature.

Super smooth flocking system, loved the touch that they follow the direction of the mouse if they are to the left or the right of it! Would have appreciated to keep the space bar pressed instead of multiple clicks.
Pretty cute concept and well executed, nice job :)

On a side note, the "click to summon + mouse to follow" is kinda similar to my game :smile: Check it out if you like!

This is a game. It's about summoning ducks. I love it?
All jokes aside, the duck sprite is so cute and it is so satisfying to have a whole screen full of ducks. It would be cool if the ducks could actually do something like mow the lawn or something like that when they step on it. Or even something that you have to navigate them through some maze with hazards. But instead this is just a game of spawning ducks and that's great! This is a great example of something with a small scope but still with an awesome result, good job!

Loved the cute duck designs and chiptune like music.

I can relate to things not going as planned in game jams.
Had my last jam entry get completely corrupted by my pc before submission so I had nothing to show for it :/
The fact that you decided to not give up and still release something is awesome (Even if it wasn't your original plan).

Good work!

*click click click click click*

So. Many. Ducks.

Great job! Love to see other Godot games! I managed to get my html export working on LDJam (was using Godot 3.5.2 stable) and followed the guide from LDJam where it said to search for the "in navigator" and replace that whole thing with "false" in (I think) it was 3 places in your index.js file. But it seems like you got it working, so that's awesome!

This is actually pretty delightful and relaxing. There is something therapeutic about summoning ducks with a click and having a throng of them follow your cursor around. I just wish you would have had time to add some sound. Very cute

Everyone who posted funny comments, screenshots, and how the smol ducks made your computers sweat- lol, I love you guys

@fatal-exit completely understand! I messed up in the DAW and was running low on minutes so I ended up cutting the track in Audacity and it came out so bad 🐸

@popertots absolute legend, what more can I say? @callmety too, coming in second so far <3

@crylica I actually was thinking a secret goose in there as well, maybe it has a knife, because you know, geese are the type to do that

I'll do my very best to go through everyone's games in the next few days! It's been so swamped, but I very much want to see all your games ❤️

Loved to spawn duck, it was really enjoyable. Maybe some rare encounter would have been a plus. (Like one duck over 100 with a little hat, or anything like this). Stopped to spawn after 300 duck, as the screen was full :3

Quacktastic! Your game's got a flock of ducks, but it needs more fun and innovation to really take flight. Graphics and audio are alright, but adding more variety could make it ducktastically better!
