For Ducks' Sake

For Ducks’ Sake is a twin stick action shooter in which you try to stop your little ducklings from being stolen and eaten by inexplicably angry gnomes!
Don’t worry, you’re heavily armed.

Made in a frantic 72 hours for Ludum Dare 46.

Controls

• Keyboard: WASD (qwerty) / ZQSD (azerty) / ,AOE (dvorak) to move | cursor keys or mouse to aim
• Gamepad: Left stick move, Right stick aim, RT to fire.

Built using Phaser 3, in a caffeine fueled frenzy, by Gary Stanton & Super Hadoken.

A NOTE ABOUT 8-WAY AIM

We’ve had feedback indicating that some people would prefer full 360 aiming. We always intended this to be a retro 8-way shooter, but we gave it a go anyway and found that the game is way too easy with a full aim rotation, so you’re stuck with 8 directions!!

KNOWN BUGS

• There seems to be a bug in the setup whereby ocassionally the physics doesn’t load up with the game. If you’re unable to shoot any gnomes, please hit F5 to refresh the page!
• Occasionally the game fails to register that you’ve lost all your ducklings.
• Some collision issues when playing right at the edge of the screen.
