Simple and fun! Couldn't find many use cases for the dash so I just kept all my dumbbells and became the strongest duck to ever live.

There's a few peculiarities with the collision, it was easy to trap the sharks on the geometry if they were away from the wall and there were a few times when I would get stuck on a corner as well. Definitely look to make objects move and slide against the walls so they don't get trapped to prevent a break in the momentum.

Fantastic work in the short time we had!

Buff as duck, bro!

Big fan of the tradeoff between having more dumbbells and being easier to control! Some of the maps have really small gaps on the edges, so that the duck can fit through but the shark can't which led to me being able to kinda cheese the chase a little bit. Otherwise this is really neat!

What a cute, simple and intuitive game! Then with the cute little duck you win easy *^* I had fun! Try our game too and leave your feedback :D

Simple gameplay loop, but everything works well. I didn't know I could attack in bufferducky mode which made it a lot harder but that's because I never learned to read... I kinda wish the sharks had some kind of spawning animation because I would dodge around and randomly get chomped but other than that I have no gripes! Nice job :)

I appreciated the 2 distinct game phases, and the clean bathtub aesthetic during the bubberducky phase

This is pretty nice well made short game, I can't think of anything I don't like except that I wish the buff duck could punch in different directions, but I might just be bad lol. Did beat it though!

this game is actually a lot of fun. and you did well adding things that differentiate from bubberducky. that twist though, beautifully done.

I never thought we would get to see the thrilling conclusion of Bubberducky's story arc, but here we are! 

The hit detection is a little unforgiving on the sharks at times and collision with walls is a bit sticky... Overall, pretty cool though! The water effect looks pretty nice! I kinda wish the final gauntlet wasn't spoiled by screenshots and the thumbnail. :P

Good point, I should change the thumbnail so it's less spoilery.

I did not expect this to be a two mini games in one. This is very good game design and the game is really fun! Awesome idea

Wow! Wasnt prepared for the transformation. New gym motivation, thx!

I'm glad that the duck was able to get revenge against the shark that was trying to eat it. Also SPOILERS

I'm also glad it was able to become President of the United States. Great Job!

I like the two phases of unique gameplay

I was really surprised by the final level. I was just trying to get all of the dumbbells and didn't expect a fight at the end. That was fun!

Looking forward to the upcoming Chris Pratt Bufferducky film. Cool game, I like the mechanic of weights slowing you down the more you collect in the first half and the second half was a funny surprise. The sharks would get stuck on blocks fairly often in the first half which did make them less dangerous though. Overall great work!

seeing the buff duck trample around avoiding sharks were not expected and very funny haha, good job!
