Ducklinks

A duck parent has to gather its lost ducklings to safety.

Made for New Year, New Skills Game Jam 2024 - Building Connection

This is my first submitted game jam. I hope you can look past the flaws and enjoy the game :D

Note:

• There is a lag after you have gathered all ducklings in the web version (might have to do with particles). The executable version gives a smoother experience.
• Pressing escape again in the Pause Menu does not work. Please use the Continue button.

Keys:

move - WASD / IJKL / arrow keys

interact - E / O

How to play:

 Gather all ducklings.

 Bring them to safety.

 Damage dealt to ducklings will hurt the parent.

Eat to heal.

Beware of timer countdown.

Future improvements:

I learned Godot 2 weeks before the jam and did 2d sprites/tilesets for the very first time. I think following aspects can be improved or added:

• Save file / session.
• Replayable level select.
• Environment animations.
• Level design - not enough diversity.
• Varied enemy attacks.
• Better indicators / feedbacks.
