AstroDucks
A downloadable game for Windows
Astro-Ducks is a twinstick shooter set in beautiful, handcrafted levels, where you will fight rubber ducks, scary ghosts and other
creatures that inhabits the world.
The demo features the first level set in a castle where your objective is to fight your way through two unique levels.
Your equiped with cannons, capable of firing plastic balls in four directions.
You also have some bombs aboard that you can place to blow up unsuspecting enemies.
Enemies
* Rubber ducks - floating around, some of them will seek you out and shoot at you
* Ghosts - These guys are a bit tougher than the ducks. They will hunt you and try to strike you with their spike ball - best to stay clear
* Sharks - Vicious guys that hide under neath the water until they are close enough to hit you, the shark can only be attacked when it comes up to the surface.
* Maniacs - Crazy guys who love explosives. Will happily plant bombs when they feel they are close enough to you. These guys are use to explosives, so you cant blow them up, you have to attack them with your cannons.
Items
* Gold and treasure - The world is scattered with sweet, sweet gold and gemstones. Collect enough of them to get a new life!
* Powerup - temporarly makes you invunerable and also makes you sprey balls around when you fire. Make sure to get the most out of this item!
Running the game
First, unzip all the files into a folder on your computer.
Now you can run the AstroDucks.exe, which will present you with a launcher.
There are a couple of choices you can make:
1. Resolution - choose the resolution you want to run in (If it does'nt match the resolution on your computer, choose the one closests to what you are running)
2. Invert left/right - If you are using only keyboard to control the game, you can choose to invert rotating left/right when using the arrow keys. I recommend trying this if turning feels un-natural when you run the game.
3. God mode - You can't die.
4. Debug mode - Shows some stats on the screen while you play (frame time, nr active enemies in the scene). Music is turned off.
Hardware requierment
* An OpenGL 3.0 compliant graphics card

Hey there, OneFourtySevenAM here, and I just played your game for a video series I have called "Indie Picks". If you're at all interested in seeing what I thought of your game, feel free to watch the video below.
Hi :) Thanks for taking the time! I know the controls are a bit awkward, there is an alternative control scheme to use the mouse. I guess top-down games like these are best played with a controller. Would be nice to hear some feedback on my other one "Splash Splash" (its at https://therussianbeargame.itch.io/splash-splash). Its very helpful to actually get feedback from someone trying it out for real. Anyways, thanks for taking the time and playing my game!
