Abducktion by JohnnySix

[raw]
made by JohnnySix for LD35 (COMPO)
A short story of alien abduction and ducks on spaceships.

Collect the peas and oats, avoid the bread - stash the food to survive the return trip to earth.

Pads on floor transform you back and forth between an egg, a chick and an adult duck.

These also double as waypoints, so be careful which route you take.

You made this in 48 hours? That's amazing, dude. Controls are tight, music is tight, graphics are great. Love it!

Controls feel pretty good.

Gorgeous graphics, and I absolutely adore your background music.

It's beautiful, man.

The controls are extremely well done, the gameplay is smooth, the transformations actually change the gameplay a lot, and make it really fun. Not to mention the incredible graphics and music. Great work.

This game really feels great. Full, albeit simple story, fun and fluid mechanics! I loved how the music would lull so that the beats of my pea picksups broke it down! Brilliant job!

Great entry! Sometimes I moved a little fast for my own good, but I got through the entire thing without any trouble. I loved the art direction and the music gave everything some kind of urgency. I especially liked flying as the duck or running through doors as a chick.

Flawless! Very well polished. Just a pity we can vote on Mood, it would have a good score as well

Wow... Music, graphics and gameplay are great, and the level is reasonably sized, too. For 48h you've done an amazing job. Congrats!!

I really liked how well the shape transitions fit together and how tight the controls felt. Every time I f*cked up and fell to my death I was totally positive that it had been my fault, not the game's.

Solid entry, only that that bothered me was the jumping/landing sound, it was abit loud.

Wow this game is a really good entry ! Very polished, animations are fun (I especially like the way the duck is kind of dancing) ! Music is a bit annoying, but it rythms the game really well.
Great job :D

Amazing compo entry. I will say the duck gliding controls weren't straight forward, but once i figured it out, it was smooth sailing....

Fantastic entry! Good job.

I was stuck a few times after accidentally "downgraded" and had to reload the entire game. Is there a restart key?

Fun platformer, neat narrative twist to the theme. Wish it had insaner death anims, like the egg cracking. :)

In short: Quack.

The amount of polish in this game is simply incredible. The music is amazing, the graphics are gorgeous, and the concept is adorable. Great job! "Avoid the bread" heh that made me laugh, it goes against "conventional wisdom" but it's accurate!

This is the first game I've given 5 on all categories. Great job!!

Great audio! Love the BGM and the SFX. I thought this was a lot of fun to play. The one thing I didn't like about this was that you die when you fall too far, but there's a lot of parts in the game where you need to make a leap of faith to go down somewhere. So lots of unfair death from just trying to explore. But overall I liked your game. It was fun growing from an egg to a duck.
