a great tool to create sounds could be https://www.bfxr.net/ (flash is dead so you can download it but it's like a 8 bit-ish sound synth with many options and easy to use+export.. lol i sound like an add xD but i rly like this tool, you can look it up on youtube) (you didnt ask for me telling you about this tool but i just wanted to let you know cause i'm hella hyped about ducks, this project and this tool haha xoxo)

Thank you for the nice message! And thanks for the tip! I will try using the music feature in GB studio first, but this is a nice one to keep in the back pocket ;)

So! - stay tuned for some tunes!

You did a great job incorporating a unique style into a GBC format! The attention to detail is also very apparent in subtle animations.

Are you planning on developing further? Something like the ability to view photos would be fun! I know that's easier said then done, my first thought would be to click a button that stores certain variables of the actor duck's state and then reenables those variables when viewing the snapshot again.

Also, I'm assuming you're using one of the actor follow mods for the boat section? I've never dealt with actor following programming so I don't mean to speak out of turn on this, but would it be possible to implement a horn function on the boat that scares away the duck for a few seconds before returning to following? While just being fun, it would also help during the times that the duck follows so closely that it blocks the boats path.

I just wanted to share some of my thoughts on it. It's a very unique game and I very much enjoyed it! Seeing well crafted games that are so out of the box for the technology like this are inspiring.

Hi Eric, Thanks for playing!

I am still planning to fix some bugs and add music, but really like your ideas too! Especially the horn on the boat lol. So might give that a try too.

Stay tuned for more ;)

Thank you Michael!

N'probs, I add ducks somewhere in most of the games I make so this game spoke to me haha.

This game is very cute, the art is very simple but very beautiful, if you added some music it would be better. 

But you did a great job on this little game, keep it up!

Thanks! Planning to do that ;)

Good to hear! It is a delightful little game - just needs some calm sound affects, maybe a background breeze or bird chirp now and then. Or a light tune :)
