Short and sweet. I beat the whole game and enjoyed the vibes. I wish there was more puzzle content but I really like the graphics! Everything was super cute, great job!

It's adorable, if these environment more challenging could be better, well done anyway.

I like the simple visual that fits well with the overall concept!
It's pretty straightforward in terms of gameplay (which is great! Because I understand it easily what the main objective and how to play without wasting time reading a bunch of tutorials)

Hope you have fun and join more jams in the future, great work!

Very nice game! I really appreciated the minimal visuals and the subtle animations, and I really liked how the puzzle part is introduced in the game a bit unexpedectly. I also ate all the grass so if it's something that a lot of people end up doing maybe it'd be nice to have a small secret achievement? Anyway, nice work !!

A cute little puzzle, kind of like Baba Is You. The duck finally found its egg — everything was great, thanks for the short but fun experience!

A short and quick process. I like this narrative atmosphere.
How should the last egg be handled?

Cute little game about a duck :)

The game is quite cute, in the spirit of old internet games; it would look good on a Game Boy. I enjoyed playing it, the only noticeable drawback being the lag issues at the end. The game doesn't let you restart, and the epilogue is laggy. Otherwise, most of the game is lag-free.

The quirky-sloppy graphics look reeeeeally cool. The sounds and torture also do their job, making it a pleasant experience. Great game! Это утка или чайка?

Oh my God, I ate a lot of flowers and then passed out lol

The story progresses quickly, and the art style is very appealing to me.

10/10 ducks! Loved the game — I tried clearing all the grass for a secret at the end, and it worked! Thanks devs, my grass-eating wasn’t for nothing lol

Enjoyable small game. Maybe I would have enjoyed to see more levels but other than than really nice entry. Especially visually I really enjoyed it.

Really sweet little game, enjoyed it a lot. I can't really think of any critique to give just wanted to say I had a good time with it. Thanks!
AdamG13 Oct 2025, 00:20
This was really fun to play! It captures the style of Baba is you very well. None of the puzzles were very difficult, but there was nice variety. I would definitely play an expanded version of this game.

Duck is really cute, also makes cute sounds while walking! I enjoyed playing and collected 5 eggs, key and the last one egg, just wish there was a bit more puzzle! Nice entry!

@evil23 I thought about getting around this somehow with some riddle, but I didn't have enough time.

I like the color scheme and minimalist graphics in this game. The sound effects and bleepy music also fit the mood. Overall, it's a nice simple puzzle game that isn't too difficult, but offers enough challenge. You've invented a game world with a distinct character, and I enjoyed exploring it.
