A duck on ice by jk5000
WARNIG this game is not made for kids to play.
The game is about a happy toy duck that is living on a ice flak, but then something really bad happens.
Sound is an important part of the game. I will recommend you to using headphones.


Controls: - W Move forward - S Move backward - D and A rotate
The game was made with: - UE4 - Blender - LMMS - Gimp - Audacity

I liked this a lot, very funny and enjoyable.
Liked the story and the idea. Fits the them perfectly. GJ!
Interesting game a bit short but I think that this is good because this means wanted to know more about our little ducky.
Good job :)
I understand this was a jam game, so some of the things I say you might have thought of implementing but just ran out of time.
**Feedback:**

🎨 Graphics 🎨
- The 3D models were nice, so were the effects. I liked the art :)
- The camera felt awkward, didn't have a good perspective of how close the duck was to the edge at the back.
- The Iceberg (?) texture is kind of blurry, but that's not too big of a deal.
- When moving backwards the little flaps on the wheals play their animation backwards, which would work, but because of the way they curl before going under the wheal it looks kind of weird.
🎮 Gameplay 🎮
- There was a lot of downtime where I was just sitting around, not doing anything, even with the story this became a little boring.
- Needing to restart the whole story on death was also annoying, I think implementing checkpoints so you just respawn at the start of the last voice line would have been good :)
📜 Story 📜
- Having a story element made this game a LOT better xD Good job for implementing that.
- Great job with the voice lines as well

Hope this was helpful!
Great job !
There also may not be much in gameplay here, but this cleary isn't going for that. It's just an amusing little story that ties with the theme. It's not anything that would necessitate an 18+ category, perhaps 13+ would make more sense.
But yeah, you've done a lovely job on this one.
I have made and uploaded a slightly updated version of the game. It's still short, but I have tried to improve the story a bit, and giving a bit better music. I have also made a few changes to the visuals and the gameplay.
I hope to see you all in another Ludum Dare or perhaps in a another game jam.
