Quacktris is a game where you play as a cute worker duck named Marcelo Menezes A.K.A Patolo, who has the job of assembling block pieces to a well known game ;)
FULLSCREEN IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Instructions You have to assemble the designed piece at the given time to keep your score high and so as your health! Work harder, play harder!
Controls Keyboard arrows - Controls Patolo
Spacebar - Lift and place blocks
This game was made by to the LD35 with the theme Shapeshift. #LDJAM @AndreYin @Douglas_Feer @RonniePedra
Very nice entry! I felt that placing the blocks felt a little awkward at times, maybe some sort of indicator would be helpful. I ended up playing quite a bit of that!
Graphics and music are super cute <3. Gameplay is interesting and feels mostly polished (I had a couple of issues dropping blocks and landing further away), but I felt that progression was a bit slow.
I liked the music and the visuals. For some reason the text on Time, Level and Score were not showing up. And unfortunately for me, as a colorblind, I had trouble finding the correct block most of the time. Overall it was a cute and fun little game! I hate it when they run away though. Haha. :)
The graphics are cute, both the sprites and the title card for the game are really well done and set the mood right away with just a single look.
Nice take on the Tetris theme for the soundtrack, it completes the mood in a pretty nice way, the sound fx are also nicely handled and balanced within the game.
Controls are pretty much solid and responsive, and gameplay is pretty smooth, though sometimes I had (very few) issues placing/lifting blocks.
One point I think that would improve the game and, also, make it a bit more accessible is a colorblind mode or colorblind-friendly sprites. I'm not fully colorblind, but I have some issues with color and sometimes light green and yellow tones, for example, become a bit hard to distinguish.
Wow, the presentation on this game was A+. Loved the music and graphics. Very nice game in general. I encountered a weird bug where I sometimes couldn't lift blocks. Also the way setting down blocks worked didn't always seem consistent.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35. Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) So we can include also your game in the video ;) p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
one minor issue: for me it would have been easier if the blocks are place relative to the block i carry and not relative to the player who often is "one block off".
A game with really cute graphics and audio. Also loved how it really works well with the controls. The only feedback that I can give is to make the drop to the floor that we are on, instead of in front of the duck. I would love to play it more! :)

Played until level 2, and perhaps i found a bug, purple blocks seemed impossible to lift :C
Great job!

Overall, brilliant idea! :) Cheers!
