Help your blind grandpa get to the bed by throwing quacking ducks. However, be careful, he is paranoiac, and there is a huge number of different deadly traps in his house! :skull: https://youtu.be/yZSGGpN853U Снимок экрана (133).pngСнимок экрана (115).png

Keep up the progress for it, the throw angling could use some polish but there's a lot of potential in the game

I like the idea. And graphics pretty good for 2 days limit but should be improve. And another tip you can use real object except for bomb. I know bombs are real but in bedroom? naaah. But it is good game. When it is improved it will be very good game.

This was crazy! Guiding a blind man with rubberducks? This is the game for you! The voice messages was hillarious ^^ Also really loved the end creditscreen. Really cool game!

I liked your game but I had difficulties to understand the controlls (especially the drag and drop thing). Except for that it was good, I particularly liked the small voice lines of the grandfather :)

@deimort Yes, we have a bug due to which the flight path is not displayed so the controlls are difficult. Already working on it :) Thanks

Great game, really enjoyed it. The mechanics are great and the voice lines were fun. The endgame cinematic was really fun too ;)

That was nice. The style of the models was nice and simple to me, and I like the concept behind the game. Also, Ivan's voice acting is 10/10, props to whoever did it.

Also found one slight bug ( I think, maybe? ), it being that if you launch a duck at a wall and then quickly rotate the level before it hits, there is a chance it will just fly off the map (I assume because wall aint there no more).

Other than that, nicely done

@darylsteak Thanks! The same person made models and Ivan's voice. He is glad you liked models and voice. And thank you for the bug report

This game is unique and very cool ! You've got a new fan :)
sadsmile21 Apr 2020, 13:48
Really fun idea but sometimes its a bit frustrating of the duck bounces off at an odd angle. Could be a really fun mobile game tho

Very nice. Think I threw a few too many ducks at grandpa, tho!

Very funny game! I really liked the grandpa's voices and the references =p

Really nice voice acting! And room rotate mechanic

A very interesting concept, but throwing system is a little bit clunky and hard to understand at the beginning.
Franklin Lei21 Apr 2020, 19:54
once i understood the mechanics it was much more enjoyable. i wish there was a cancel out of a duck throw when i accidentally clicked on screen

This is game with huge mobile potential, has nice graphics and interesting mechanics.
P.S. without grandpa rambling it wouldnt feel the same.
Texz21 Apr 2020, 22:27
Just amazing, please do more levels ! A complete game please ! :)

Good game, idea is interesting and fun. Game is unfortunately short, i want more levels :)
Palvel22 Apr 2020, 10:47
Cool game! But there are few levels)
ahanabunozor22 Apr 2020, 10:51
Great idea for a game! It's really fun!

I really liked it, however i think it lacks levels. Still i think the game is great and I enjoyed it.
Guille22 Apr 2020, 14:43
Love the art, and very fun to play. The animations are awesome! I wish there were more levels because the game is so fun I wish their was more. Also why does grandpa have mines and laser in his room. In level 4 why do you get 5 ducks when you only need 2. The thanks you for playing at the end is awesome(I played level 5 again just to see it)!
Oliver_MB22 Apr 2020, 14:45
A grandfather and rubber ducks! It is so endearing ... more levels, please!
Kriss22 Apr 2020, 14:47
Very funny, nice one!
Ridde22 Apr 2020, 14:57
Wooooww!! i cant believe this is a jam game incredible nice work!

@guille thank you so much I am glad that you enjoyed it. The grandpa is paranoic and he put traps in his room just for the theft safety, but I think this was a bad idea . . .

Very interesting mechanics. But it took time to figure out how to throw ducks.
ReadyPlayerTom22 Apr 2020, 15:36
Hey i think its great :D Grandpa is save now! Keep it on.

Very nice game. It would be great to see this developed further with additional hazards and mechanics added at later levels. This was great for a jam, though!

Funny game ^^ It was a bit hard to understand how to play at first, but once I understood and got used to the time it need for the duck to stop (and for the grandpa to follow it), it was really nice to play :) And the grumpy grandpa is adorable and fun X)

A post-jam version with more levels using the mechanics introduced (the lasers and moving car), could be really nice :) (also, the fullscreen is very small on high resolution screen)

I like the concept and execution a lot! Good sound effects and music.

The ducks bounce around a little too much, along with Ivan moving fairly slow means that it gets a bit frustrating - having Ivan move quicker would help a lot here.

Very funny, one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. I kind of wish there was more control somehow.

@dodormeur @cobear25 thank you all for feedback

@neontropics thank you, I am really pleased with the fact that someone noticed effort that was put in audio. By the way all sound effects except explosion were recorded and synthesised (in case of electricity) for this jam at home.
marcusnystrand24 Apr 2020, 10:49
Had me laughing quite hard :) Nice piece of work but poor, poor grandpa!
LairinLair25 Apr 2020, 00:00
Audio: WHATEVER? What? Are you kidding me? "WHO MADE THIS SHITTY MUSIC?". As a music producer that makes me sad =/. Had fun playing, love the mechanic and humorous twist that you gave it to the game. This game has a lot of potential. Good work.

@lairinlair Yep I still didn't came up with nickname, so I think a cup of irony is on point for this little humorous game :P
LairinLair25 Apr 2020, 15:53
Sorry for didnt getting the joke on Whatever? hahahah
Quacky2220025 Apr 2020, 20:11
Nice game, like the duck-grampa collision which is a nice touch. The music is good. You can't seem to cancel an aim? I would have welcomed a better 'walking around' mechanic than the constant back-and-forth.

Love the style, and animations on the grandpa are excellent. The aiming was hard, and the targetting could have done with a reticule for the 'hit' at the end of the arc. There'd still be skill in getting the right 'power' on the throw. It's very hard to know where it's hitting otherwise, with the isometric projection.

Interesting little puzzle game. Funny ending!)

The graphics were good, the concept is fun, rotating the levels is satisfying with the way the "4th wall" fades out. The collision of the duck with the grandpa was a good touch. The one-liners from the grandpa were very reminiscent of Duke Nukem. The voice was a little much, or maybe it was just too frequent or might have been too loud in the mix. Overall though for a jam game this has a surprising amount of polish and content. Good job!

А Иван Троцкий, кто бы это ни был, не промах )) С фраз "Водка инсайд, ботл аутсайд" орал в голосину, спасибо вам :) Но, если говорить о чем-то другом, кроме потрясающего юмора, то геймплей тоже весьма интересен. Не могу сказать, что меня эта головоломка как-то удивила, но порадовало то, с каким вниманием вы подошли к каждому уровню и то, насколько хорошо отшлифована игра. Вы молодцы, это потрясающий концепт!
Eran Haas29 Apr 2020, 10:48
Fun little puzzles.
Art style and animation were great!
I found aiming pretty difficult with the perspective

@eran-haas thank you! I think we will somehow change aiming in the post ludum version

Great idea! I like the humor in the game and the core mechanics. Good job! :)
other-wb1 May 2020, 16:07
Haha, that's a funny concept, I especially liked audio, not only the music and sounds, but the grandpa's voice. Aiming was a bit difficult, also couldn't destroy the lasers at first. If I didn't start turning the camera, wouldn't read that advice on the wall. Having more levels would be amazing. Thank you guys for the game!
