zircon Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Play it for free here! (Firefox recommended): http://www.spacewhalestudios.com/duckit Duck It! was our (Space Whale Studios') entry into the 2011 Philly GameJam (hosted by TooManyGames and our local IGDA chapter.) Being that it was around Mother's Day, the theme was "Mothers." Obviously, we decided to make a game where you're a mother duck running through a creepy black-and-white world and the goal is to make it to your young and vomit pixels on them. It's inspired by games like Canabalt with some action and physics elements thrown in for good measure, not to mention everything is pseudorandomly generated for infinite ducking action! (Complete with "duckstep" intro music and KMFDM ripoff level music) Trailer: The game was developed using HTML5 and the Impact engine in 45 hours total. Our team consisted of two artists, two programmers and one musician/sound designer (me!) We managed to win the WTF? award for our efforts. Proof: We'd like to keep developing the game further, so feel free to give us your feedback. Enjoy! Quote
Monobrow Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 This is a major step in the world of "wtf" gaming. Quote
Flexstyle Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Y'all at Space Whale may well have hit something great here. The game is addicting, the music is excellent, and it's just strange enough to stand out! Nice work. Quote
Zen Frazier Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Soundtrack? Please? The game is insane. Insane fun. EDIT: By the way I played in Chrome and didn't have any problems. Just FYI. Nice coding there guys! Quote
zircon Posted May 12, 2011 Author Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks again for the kind words. We're going to be making quite a few updates to the game soon, some of which are already done on our dev server. eg: * Scoring system (makes it 3x as fun) * Better movement mechanics * Breakable walls * Better enemy pathing * Powerups etc Quote
Flexstyle Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 If I recall correctly, the most recent version of Safari was playing nice, too. Just FYI. Quote
Xarnax42 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 You all make quite a team to put that together so quickly. It would be impressive even if had taken several weeks. Kudos! (Though you may want to remind the webmaster that you didn't win "unimously"...) Quote
