DUCK POND - PLAY HERE

It’s finished, click the image link below to play the game, hosted at newgrounds.com

As well as newgrounds.com I have uploaded the game to various other Flash sites that allow you to submit your work to be played and rated by other gamers. I really like how gamegum.com has projected and framed my game. Click the image link below to play it hosted at Game Gum.


You can also download the game in .EXE and .SWF formats via the image link below. The downloadable versions run a lot faster than the Newgrounds hosted version, not sure why, net lag maybe, they are all the same file.

If you do play please post your feedback, reviews and SCORES in the comments link below (no account required to comment) I’d really appreciate the feedback.

Hey Man, Got the email on the VLP about you wanting some feedback.

I'm liking the game, it's a good idea - however got some improvement ideas...

At the end you could give the result (e.g. "Go Kill Yourself) instead of people looking at the list of score bands to see what they got.

Also maybe get a collision detection on the old woman so she doesn't fly off the screen?

Apart from that, good work!

good game! just wondering, would it be better if there were levels instead of it being a single time? but i don't know if that would work? still good fun and i didn't find any bugs..

Steven Bailey said...

I'm particularly addicted yet rubbish at your game- do you think that your scorings possibly a little ambitious?

hey gav, i like the idea behind ur game but i find it quite hard to play, especialy using the dynamyte... its way, way too slow. and can u only throw the bread ect in the persons eyeline? if so, this needs to be clearer.

Gav Cooper said...

Steven – the scorings are pretty realistic, it’s very possible for players to achieve 20,000 + “GOD of the ducks”. it’s all about hitting those bonus ducks; they boost your score big time.

Cat – try using the arrow keys to move about. try throwing whilst moving, it helps a lot. it is key that you try and predict the ducks path of movement, try throwing items to a certian spot before the ducks reach it.

Pretty good game, although having a wuicker way of changing between bread and TNT might be nice.
Maybe the up and down arrow keys?
First score was 3300, pretty poor...

Gav Cooper said...

just racked up a score of 25,180!

20,000 + is do-able and it’s ALL about the little yellow bonus ducks!

Hey Gav!

Great game, the only thing I feel you could do is shorten the length of time and explain how to switch between the bread and the tnt more on the splash screen. Apart from that, thats a nice game. Good style!

Nice game, shame I'm crap at it! Have you thought about using any other keys than the arrow keys to move cos it's pretty awkward to play on a laptop?

Gav Cooper said...

Hey JohnBoy, yeah, hadn't thought about lappys, guess I could double map the LEFT and RIGHT keys to A & D, common alterative for PC gamers... or even Z & X if I wanted to be propper old skool.

This is definatley more challenging than the last one. The arrow actions work much better now and you have put harder obsticals to overcome. It is not easy but I managed to get some kind of calulated rhythm to my bread serving skills.
I agree about the arrow keys though is it possible to make these "daws" as this fits a right handed person perfectly.
The ducks are more sophisticated and help to give a more dynamic look to the game.
good development and much more of a challenge than the last one

Hey Gav

Nice game, plays really well. Id like to see some level progression, i.e. more evil ducks, faster scrolling speeds of ducks etc. Also maybe a keyboard option to switch between dynamite and bread instead of having to click off screen...but their minor points!
