Revenge of the Ducks by Ronin748

[raw]
made by Ronin748 for LD34 (JAM)
You're growing old, and as we all know, elderly people like to spend time wandering around in parks. However, this time dementia got the best of you and you forgot to feed the ducks. Now they're angry and out to get you!

Use the left and right arrow keys to "waddle" forwards, and hold both keys simultaneously to swing your walker at those dastardly drakes! As you do this, your stamina will decrease (left bar), you will slow down and your heart rate starts to rise. Don't let your heart rate get too high or you'll get a heart attack! Also don't step into puddles or you might catch a cold.

Controls:
Right and left arrow keys - move
Both - attack (hold to charge)

Programmed in Dart using WebGL.

I love the mood of the game. Sadly it started getting slower... is it a bug?

It's a cool game. The music is awesome. The battle system feels strange though. I've no idea how to fight the ducks.

Loved the art style. Movement was a bit tricky, but all in all was pretty fun. Great work!

Haha, That was great. I beat them ducks.
You should give it an amusing intro. It makes more sense now I have read the description.

Concept is hilarious :D

The game is fitting and I liked the visuals, but it was a bit hard to understand the feedback if you were hitting or being hit.

Nice graphics, interesting and inventive use of two buttons, even if "hold both" seems like cheating a little! Loved the unusual selection of mechanics including the heart attack meter. I completed it on my third go, and only suffered 3 heart attacks in the process.

Ducks are dangerous...

I will never look at ducks the same way again

Good use of the theme! I like the controls :D The retro-3D art was also cool :)

Clicking the web link opens a blank page (in Safari 9.02 / OSX El Capitan). Note: other WebGL games seem to be working fine.

Nice catch on the theme! I kept dying though... Could not tame those beasts! =/ Congrats. The game is fun and I enjoyed the music and graphics style.

Art was cool, attacking was a little confusing.

Yeah the game hasn't been tested in Safari, but I know for sure that IE doesn't load it. Wrote the WebGL stuff myself so I might be missing something... Appreciate any feedback!

Think I fixed it. The WebGL context is probably called experimental-webgl in Safari and others.

Nice stuff. It took me a while understanding how the die mechanics work.

Pretty damn fun game, though it took me a while to figure out what I was doing. Love the FPS pixelated style!

Loved the graphics! It took me a couple of restarts to realize I had to fight ducks though.

Fun idea, nicely done. The controls are somewhat awkward and take some time to get used to. Loved the music.

That was cool. Love your music. Started having browser problems on replays, such as no more music and would not immediately start back up when i pressed arrow keys. Using firefox 42. Overall quite fun to play.

What have I just played? A FPS with 2 control buttons? And why would I break my hip?

I love retro 3d graphics like this.
Controls are little messy, but after all it's two button fps. Nice game!

Nice entry! I really like the graphics, it reminds me of minecraft! Gameplay is interesting, but it is sometimes complcating since you can get stuck in a corner. Appart from that, good job! ;)
