I really liked the audio and how the song would play longer the longer your streak was. I felt the time pressure made me make irrational choices that probably did not help my score. I felt like there was a strategy that I could figure out but didn't have the time!

The twist by changing in what direction go the ducks is a very good idea to give some fresh air to this concept. The game also sounds nice, and I love the music when the ducks are moving :smile:\nOne tiny suggestion: I feel you can earn more points by just clicking whenever it's possible to a position that maybe will make you align duck, rather than actually trying to find the best move. It feels a bit like cheating, maybe you can find a way to prevent that?\n\nGood game anyway!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1114858,"author_name":"ArtAllester","author_uid":"artallester","epoch":1729098478,"text":"Loved it!

I did screw up a few times either not realizing the direction or just making a dumb mistake clicking the wrong duck. A mouse-over on the duck making them look afraid to get destroyed would help much of the problem where I'd select the wrong one to die.\n\nThe art looks great, I like the little flame animation and the ducks walking  (nice swoosh effect on their eyes). The music is fun and whimsical, but I wish there was some sound there where it's currently silent.\n\nReally cool twist, great example of how to approach a gamejam!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1116987,"author_name":"milq","author_uid":"milq","epoch":1729377743,"text":"Poor ducklings! Wow, it's a fantastic game and a hidden gem! I hope it gets the attention it truly deserves. The concept is quite original, where you have to line up three ducks, and in each turn, they move north, south, east, or west depending on which gate opens. I might suggest starting with fewer colors, then gradually increasing the difficulty. The game could really expand with combos, power-ups, for example. Since we're already destroying ducks, a power-up like a bomb that clears the surrounding ducks would be great. It's a very good game with a lot of potential, and I hope it gets 20 or more reviews. Great game!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1116989,"author_name":"BabyGirl2005","author_uid":"babygirl2005","epoch":1729378044,"text":"love the game, super fun.
