Aaaah, I love how games with ducks can come away with pulling such awesome randomness!
Feedback-wise you definitively should have added a muzzle flash and make the bullets explode when they hit the enemies. Maybe also shake the screen a bit.
The tune is pretty nice and the art style fits the weirdness of the game perfectly!
Fun!

*um, I meant let the bullets of the enemies explode when they hit the player

@Rick Hoppmann Hey thanks for the feedback! I just got home from vacation and have 3 hours left, so perhaps I can do just as you suggested.

Whilst I think embedding lazers in a shark is a bit of a copout - they're still just lazers. I was very amused to see the sharks wielding duck lazers - nice touch.

Loved the randomness of it and the art really worked well too! :D

heh, fun game. nice work.

Super fun to play, and for some reason the way the ducks legs move around is hilarious.

Borkleby20 Apr 2015, 13:13

Pretty classic game, nothing new under the sun. Still funny and fun though! I keep thinking the green gore is an attack.

Ducks are the ultimate gaming medium. 5 stars.

OK 4421. Is there only one powerup? I could need more, those shark are to dangerous :) Fun game you got there.
And like the music too

Sometimes Paint-style graphics are best option. This is the case.

Great soundtrack!

BluShine21 Apr 2015, 04:28

Very funny intro. And not only are you a duck wielding laser sharks, but the sharks wield laser ducks!

Music was good too.

Gameplay was pretty basic, though. Kinda just felt like some funny sprites dropped on top of a standard top-down shooting game.

Not bad for 12 hours, though!

The duck leg-movement is amazing.

LogGiant21 Apr 2015, 04:55

This game is hilarious! It's a bit hard to tell when you get hit if you don't hear the QUACK.

THE GRAPHICZ, THE AUDIO, THE PLOT...
*graphics
God...May I say that I loved this game? *-*
Very funny!
It would be nice a option to skip the intro cutscene, other than job, nice job! :D

This was actually pretty sweet. There was no feedback whatsoever if I was hit or not, or at least the bullet just continued past me. The music is of course a plus, and it was neat!

Ghen22 Apr 2015, 05:07

duck quackson suck a badass, he make sharks violently blown up just by a laser :))

A very entertaining shooter game! I dig it.

Murchurl22 Apr 2015, 10:26

Haha I love this game a little bit of social satire ;) I like it! quite fun and intense game!

nopogo22 Apr 2015, 13:01

I lol'd when i saw the feet in the walking animation xD Really funny. Also fun to play

Zak22 Apr 2015, 13:02

Best run animation out there.

ruthiepee22 Apr 2015, 13:02

Fun gameplay and hilarious graphics. The gameplay wasn't especially innovative but the story certainly is... different. The music is nice too! My favorite part is the walk cycle-- simple but efficient, lol. Final score: 3371 (I'm not very good at this, haha.)

Game is much fun, I hope you will continiue to work on it!

Chris M22 Apr 2015, 15:27

Fantastic leg animation!

LeoM22 Apr 2015, 17:21

6700 for me ! ;)

OnePixelMonster24 Apr 2015, 13:08

Very nicely done :)

LandoSystems26 Apr 2015, 01:45

That game was far more satisfying than it should have been with that art style... great work!

Your horrible, almost-rhyming poetry totally makes up for the fact that your orange gun is still just a gun that shoots orange bullets (I really do like the bad poetry). Power ups were much appreciated. Points for humor, and the audio is more than adequate.
