I suck at platforming but this game is very charming :3

Thanks for playing! I'm going to make the levels a bit easier at the beginning with the full game release lol

Thanks for playing! For the full game, I'm going to make the difficulty spike over time lol

My remarks:

  • 🦆
  • I'm really missing a restart hotkey
  • The placement of the flags implies that you need to get to a flag after collecting all the eggs, but you don't
  • Waiting for a 3 second countdown after every restart  is too much for a speedrun game. You can make it shorter, or have the timer begin automatically when the player starts moving, or find another solution. Players die more often than you and thus will notice this much more than you
  • Wall jumping back and forth from 2 opposite walls feels awkward
  • You can climb a wall infinitely by wall jumping (without another wall opposite to it) and I don't know if it's intentional
  • Being able to wall jump when you have a jetpack gets in the way more often than it helps and it's kinda pointless
  • Voicelines are great

    Bugs I've found:

    • You can get out of bounds both to the left and right of every level
    • Collecting the last egg right after the timer runs out still shows the "go to next level" menu although it doesn't do anything
    • I managed to kill an enemy and die to it at the same time
    • Pausing the game messes up the timer
    • Pausing during the countdown behaves weird

    Thanks for playing and taking the time out to send such a detailed list for your feedback! I really appreciate it. You made a lot of great points and I intent to rework and fine-tune all the issues you mentioned.  Thanks again, Pao_Master.

    Nice! However it would be nice if the eggs did something, maybe you could implement a score-system

    Thanks for playing! That’s  a great idea, I’ll keep that in mind for the next update!

    Congrats for your first release, the game is quite challenging!

    The timer should reset to zero when the duck dies, because there's no way a level can be completed with half time left!

    I'd lower the music volume a bit to make the voice lines more audible, as these punchlines are part of this game charm ;)

    Thanks for playing Ducky Runners and giving great feedback! I'm currently working making a dash mechanic which would help with completing the levels if you're running out of time from dying often. But I also like your idea of completely restarting the time. I'll work in some options and have an update for the game in a week or so!

    You're a real one! I'm looking to have the full game completed in 5 to 6 month

    This was pretty good. One thing I might suggest is when I would finish a level the spacebar also acted as a selection button so I ended up restarting a few times when I did not mean to. 

    Other than that great work!
