[raw]
made by Stratovarius for LD28 (JAM)
Controls:
-Arrow keys to move
-Z to select and send your duck to attack other ducks in front of you
-R to fix it if something breaks

Choose one duck to kill all the other ducks
Each duck has two mutations that can be either negative or positive, these mutations are not listed, you must learn what they are by their look to determine which ducks are strong and which are weak


Game is a bit rushed so there's a few bugs and general ugliness

Dont know if it is important for gameplay but after selection, the duck hunt and body are switched.

If you send your duck to fight too far from another duck it will go to left aimlessly. I had hard time understanding how to play because of this ( first 3-4 games )

I love the idea of gaining more knowledge about how duck work. The idea is good. But in the end I just ended looking for *spoiler alert* the messed up beak ones who can inflict more damages. Didn't have the feeling that turtle body really influence damage taken or wings increase dodge chance.

Some sfx would have been nice, especially for this type of fighting.

The concept is funny, but only being able to select a duck and then watch what happens didn't feel engaging.

Nice game! Still pretty good for a rushed game. I like the mutated undead alien ducks and how the duck trainer's facial expression is full of joy and exitement!

Great visuals and like the Pokeducks idea, execution was a little unclear in the end, but a great start.

Felt like you should have been able to do more than just watch your ducks hit each other.

It's really creepy... Leaving aside the morality of killing ducks with your own zombie duck, it's fun :-D
