Ahh yes... segments of a circle, my old foe... Do I need 32 segment > direction mappings? No. No I don't. I need 8 at best. Is it cool? Well, at 2am hopped up on Red Bull... yeah 's cool.
Have I gone down some kind of rabbit hole? Shuddup, large talking bunny.
18 hours of non-stop work? Check. 4 hours sleep? Check. Blurry vision? Check. Enough coffee to floor a medium sized triceratops? Check.
LET'S DO THIS!
Remind me again why the hell we thought a twin stick shooter mechanic was the way to go? This has eaten up practically all dev time, but our liddle duck is now a pretty dangerous dude...
Now our hero has some little buddies that he must KEEP ALIVE!!
An angry gnome is trying to steal my ducklings!!!
And another 16 hour stint of battling with code - but we finally have a primary loop!
No idea whether we'll find time to add all the extras we'd like, such as more enemies, powerups, levels, etc.
But for now, it's actually pretty fun... Add some scoring and UI tomorrow and if there's any time left after that, who knows?
And all little ducks came scurrying back...

With apologies for the oversight, we've pushed up a new version of For Ducks' Sake with Q and Z properly mapped.

We generated around 3.4 billion gnomes to handle all the traffic over the course of the rating period, and we're still pretty much overrun. Could y'all do us a favour and take some of them out? The ducklings will thank you.

We've been surprised and a little overwhelmed with the response to our silly little shooter... We're very close to 200 ratings!
If you love ducks with guns... If you've always wanted to shoot stupid little gnomes in their stupid little faces... this is very much the game for you.

We did create a game that celebrates and glorifies the wholesale slaughter of the little gits... If you ever thought Duck Hunt was a little unfair, come see what happens when you arm the Anatidaes.
