for constructive criticism
- improving your animation skill can come in handy
- creating multiple levels for jams can help
- if you want to make this a full-blown game I would suggest a little bit of tutorial
It's a bit short at the moment, but I hope you decide to make some more levels.
We had to drastically scale down to ship something in time for the deadline.
Post-jam we are going to tidy things up, clarify the objectives and mechanics, rework a bit the puzzle mechanics and make a couple of levels. (Might also add in our level editor.) See if we can get a more rounded out game experience.

I was pretty confused at first on what the actual objective was, I spent a decent amount of time trying to get both ducks in the rocket before realizing I needed to touch the green block. After that it ended up being pretty easy
I could see with a few more block types and more time to design levels this could be a pretty interesting puzzle game!
A few issues I had:
- (as mentioned in a previous comment) the music doesn't loop. Maybe I just took way longer than anticipated, but At some point the music stopped, sadly. The music was nice though.
- sometimes the ducks rotate the wrong way around. Makes it look weird when they turn a corner.
Nonetheless, a very promising entry! Good job!
Beautiful music and art!
