The only thing I didn't really understood was the 'duckling' bonus? I gathered that you got the bonus if you had any living duckings when you died? Felt a bit weird, but maybe that's just me? That didn't ruin the game for me though- I had fun.\n\nThanks for the Nostalgia rush, and thanks for sharing your game.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":800389,"author_name":"Jibberwocky","author_uid":"jibberwocky","epoch":1649235912,"text":"Very straightforward and fun, despite the retro look everything was really well visually communicated.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":807561,"author_name":"BoxedMeatRevolution","author_uid":"boxedmeatrevolution","epoch":1649294799,"text":"Even though this game is simple, I thought it had pretty good replayability. I got to a point where I felt like I could play indefinitely. So long as you stop any seeds from growing it seems easy enough to prevent additional mongooses from spawning (though it took me a few tries to get good enough). I agree with the other commenter that the \"duckling bonus\" system felt a bit odd. It would have been nice if each duckling added to your score somehow, rather than only the living ones at game's end. Still, I enjoyed playing!
