You are the summoner of ducks. Spawn all the ducks you can and they will follow you anywhere. That's it!

Note: sound starts automatically, I suggest lowering your volume just in case.

Post-submission note: Managed to add a web build now :3

Hmm.. Human muisc. I like it.

Congrats on your first ldjam! The ducks are cute, and the music goes well with it.

Haha, I feel called out for some reason :wink: Well done. I got a good laugh out of this one. Gotta set a minion down in front of it to see if we can make it crash.

Well, there are no false promises. And I love ducks!

And the game runs on Linux through Wine, so that's extra points!

Also, just trying to help you, I can create a Godot web build, but the LD version wouldn't work because of missing HTTP Headers. LD's embedding guide is also outdated. Perhaps that's the reason it's not working? My solution for that is uploading it to another place (in my case, I have my own server for that) or you could upload it to itch.io (make sure to check "SharedArrayBuffer support")

pixel art is so cute, love it!! we also made a duck game for the comp :) but in our case the duck is summoning other animals haha

Ah yes

The Duck Navy

Cute art! Music is kinda ehhhh. Gameplay is obviously built to summon ducks - which it does flawlessly - so I can't really dock points for that. There might be potential in a duck themed clicker game. Thank you for your game! :heart:

I'm not gonna download a game here, but my build works on itch.io (using godot, compatibility mode), while not here. So maybe that could work for you, too? Sorry, if you already tried that, like 20 times :D
josang156715 Apr 2024, 11:20
Good game, it is satisfying to see how the ducks progressively turn to follow the mouse when there are many

@aly-name hahaha, look at that army!

@ooboob I managed to add a web build now, if you wanna look :)

@phobos001 yes, unfortunately I didn't quite get my ducks in a row in advance regarding music software :/ but now I know for next time

@altaf-creator it turned out I was missing some files when I uploaded the first time, now it's fixed, thanks for the tips

Once it hits 300, my laptop starts to struggle.

I didn't know it, but summoning ducks is really addictive!
LDJam user 386211
LDJam user 386211author15 Apr 2024, 18:13
@milq same for me, that's probably because each duck is a whole new object in Godot's system, it can definitely be improved!
MightyElf15 Apr 2024, 18:32
Lol what am I gonna do with all this duck! Really satisfying
LDJam user 376203
LDJam user 37620315 Apr 2024, 18:47
For me it started lagging after about 300 ducks. The fact that they followed the mouse was such a nice feature.

TOO CUTE! The adorable music is lovely and the little duck hordes are cute and nice to play around with.
rolferm15 Apr 2024, 20:26
at 500 its started to lag a bit. at 700: some serious duck tunnelling starts to appear. at 1000: the universe collapses.

Brings me flashbacks. If you changed the mouse cursor to a bag with food, then it would be just like in real life!

Super smooth flocking system, loved the touch that they follow the direction of the mouse if they are to the left or the right of it! Would have appreciated to keep the space bar pressed instead of multiple clicks.
Pretty cute concept and well executed, nice job :)

Perfection is achieved when there is nothing to remove, and I feel that entry exemplifies that - great job!

hahaha they are so cute, you know you're doin git right when it starts lagging :D
scottjmulligan16 Apr 2024, 03:52
All hail the duck swarm! I don't know why this is fun but it is. I like that you can control the movement of the ducks.

Need more duuuucks! I especially enjoyed their incredibly synchronized wiggles. They're so disciplined!

On a side note, the "click to summon + mouse to follow" is kinda similar to my game :smile: Check it out if you like!
crylica16 Apr 2024, 04:21
the duck spawner is so cute haha
it'd be funny if there was one goose in the middle of all those ducks...
i wish petting the ducks was a feature too, but good job on the compo! It turned out really nicely even though you pivoted ideas mid-jam :)

Absolutely delightful! The charm of summoning endless ducks coupled with adorable graphics made for an unexpectedly heartwarming and fun experience. Fantastic job!

This is a game. It's about summoning ducks. I love it?
All jokes aside, the duck sprite is so cute and it is so satisfying to have a whole screen full of ducks. It would be cool if the ducks could actually do something like mow the lawn or something like that when they step on it. Or even something that you have to navigate them through some maze with hazards. But instead this is just a game of spawning ducks and that's great! This is a great example of something with a small scope but still with an awesome result, good job!

Great submission u have here!
Loved the cute duck designs and chiptune like music.

I can relate to things not going as planned in game jams.
Had my last jam entry get completely corrupted by my pc before submission so I had nothing to show for it :/
The fact that you decided to not give up and still release something is awesome (Even if it wasn't your original plan).

Good work!

It was cute, music was pleasant too :) I think minor thing that would've added more polish would be making the flip animation smoother. Randomizing the flip speed would've given more variety too! Maybe shades of new ducks?! So many possibilities!!!

My brain hearing the music:
"Boop bip beep boop boop bip beep boop boop bop bip beep boop beep BOOP"

Me, seeing the button:
*click click click click click*

So. Many. Ducks.

Great job! Love to see other Godot games! I managed to get my html export working on LDJam (was using Godot 3.5.2 stable) and followed the guide from LDJam where it said to search for the "in navigator" and replace that whole thing with "false" in (I think) it was 3 places in your index.js file. But it seems like you got it working, so that's awesome!

This is actually pretty delightful and relaxing. There is something therapeutic about summoning ducks with a click and having a throng of them follow your cursor around. I just wish you would have had time to add some sound. Very cute
