Asshole Ducks by thatwhichis
A soothing game about feeding ducks except you hate some of them arbitrarily and if they take more than one food while there are still starving ducks out there you probably hate them too maybe. YOU ONLY GET ONE, DUCKS. Also there's a scoreboard.
Chrome recommended! Mother approved. (NSFW language.) Actually plays pretty decently in Safari on an iPhone 5S (but not on my desktop? loool), so take it with you to the terlet and play while you poop! Or don't. Or do, but please don't tell us about it. (Or DO. o_O) (Don't.)

"Well, animals are a lot like people, Mrs. Simpson. Some of them act badly because they've had a hard life, or have been mistreated; but, like people, some of them are just jerks."
IOMPORTANT Edit: Added post-compo version with slightly reworked launch numbers; should be easier to launch shorter ranges. Still recommend compo version! :-D
Edit: Now with more blog post!

LET THEM GLIDE GRACEFULLY ACROSS THE GRASS, THEIR WADDLES FORGOTTEN IN THE WINDS OF TIME I SAY!
Zolmeister: passing out for the night but I'll check your entry out tomorry!
lol, thanks for playing everybody! I am immensely enjoying all of your games.
The music was intense.
The scoring mechanic was pretty cool.
Pretty good!
(BTW: My game should be playable now.)
JohhnySix: A friend of mine recommended the same thing! He also suggested the assholes gain weight over time, which also seems interesting, but he suggested that while I was in the middle of working on the leaderboard integration and I was all like, "eh, whatevskies, I'll fix it in post." Conversely, I thought about making the unfed ducks get slower and lose weight from round to round. As of right now, the asshole ducks get a.... +20? ish? Modifier to their speed randomization with every successive round, and even that is working okay but not 'xactly as I wanted it to so, y'know, ::shrugs::!
deathray: You can throw a little slower but you gotsta get closer to yourself (uhh...) than I would like; is tweakable, but don't want to mess with anything while voting goes on. :-)
THANK YOU ALL FOR PLAYING AND FOR FEEDBACK(NO PUN INTENDED). LD is bestust!
Jupiter_Hadley: You played my team's submission last LD; keep rockin'!
