Being a mother is hard though!

At first I kept hatching my eggs underwater and not eating plants, but once I learned how the game worked, the game was pretty fun and definitely challenging. So all in all, good job! :D"},{"author_name":"Donutttt","author_uid":"30043","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 9:13pm","epoch":1387400880,"text":"This was excellent. I'd call it the best game I've played so far fairly confidently. Clever idea, good graphics, and fun as well.

Played until my fingers hurt :), got 710 points.  There seems to be an invisible wall at 3 ducklings, any more makes it impossible to dodge enemy birds.  Very nice gameplay, but I didn't think the graphics were too hot and it could have used some music.  Well done."},{"author_name":"ayame9joe","author_uid":"21312","time":"Dec 30, 2013 @ 8:32am","epoch":1388392020,"text":"Very clever prototype.
