[Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game (Version 1.1.3 in Extras!)
 

Them Bloody Ducks!

Version 1.1.3 in extras!

Them Bloody Ducks is a 2D duck hunting game where you control the hunter using accelometer and shoot the gun by tapping the screen (spacebar shoots also since version 1.1.1). You also need to watch out for the ducks' "bombs".

There's four different "levels" which gets randomly selected when starting a new game + one secret bonus level which can be accessed some secret way (tip: flasher mode). There's also two kinds of different looking ducks.

A fun little short time filler. I will be interested to see how smooth it is using qt4.6 as I did notice a little slowdown when the ducks started flowing thick and fast. I love the cartoony style.

Would you consider doing a game similar style buy more like duck hunter/deer hunter - IE from a 1st person point of view - shooting at targets that fly out randomly.

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

Hmm...would it have a crosshair which is moved around using accelometer and shooting is done by tapping? Or just simply tap the spot you want to shoot (that would be too easy IMO)?

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game

ha good little game this.

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

Looks like fun, how's the optification right now?

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

It has always been optified.

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

omg how come i've just discovered this beautiful little game. I love it. Its a lot of fun to play with tv out.

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

Just remembered my post in this thread. Yes a tap and shoot that spot type of thing. More a reaction time game rather than an accuracy type of game.

Still love the original :)

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

Still waiting for it :p

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

I'll do it by the end of this week. That's a promise! :D

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

Great! :D
Hope to see the flashing yellow "!" mark with your update soon :D

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

need a pat on the back, just killed 122 ducks ~ lol. Man i tell you, this game is amazing.

A little note for developer, nothing extraordinary, but it will be great to have more backgrounds, maybe a character to choose from.

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

i can't find it in extra devel.. what's the name?

oh sorry, found it ^^

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

Thembloodyducks (one word)

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

Version 1.1.0 now in extras-devel. It's now in Qt 4.6 and it has 3 new backgrounds: lakeside, red planet and weird room. Background gets randomly selected when starting new game.

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

Great game!

Accelerometer movement support with spacebar to shoot would make this the ultimate commute distraction :)

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

I'll add spacebar shooting later tonight or tomorrow.

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

Also if someone would like to make more backgrounds feel free to post them here. They should be 800x480 png images.

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game
 

Version 1.1.1 should be in extras-devel now or soon.

New features:
- Shoots also with spacebar
- Two kinds of ducks (different looks, same behaviour)

Also updated first post with screenshots of different backgrounds.

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game (Version 1.1.2 in Extras-Testing!)
 

Version 1.1.2 in extras-testing, please test and vote! http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...dyducks/1.1.2/

Changes:
- Title screen
- Secret level which can be accessed using magic (tip: flasher mode)

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game (Version 1.1.2 in Extras-Testing!)
 

really very nice, though its hard to play in dark backgrounds both red planet and wierd room. Other two are simply pleasing to the eye and quite stunning.

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game (Version 1.1.2 in Extras-Testing!)
 

I would have a suggestion:
Could you make the shooting possible by pressing any part of the screen? Then this would be playable with just one hand. I think it is a bit unneccesary to press the screen where you are shooting because the character always shoots in the same angle and the direction (left or right) is adjusted by tilting the phone. Also, could you make the random level thing a bit more random, I got the red planet stage ten times in a row?

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game (Version 1.1.2 in Extras-Testing!)
 

Yeah I have been thinking to make the shooting that way (for now you can play with one hand if you shoot with spacebar). Probably a good idea to put a check that same level doesn't come more than once in a row.

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game (Version 1.1.2 in Extras-Testing!)
 

Suggestion:

The ducks with the helmets take 2 shots to kill ? First shot knocks off their helmet ? And perhaps occasionally have another random bird swing by for bonus points ?

Just a thought.

Ninja Edit: Forgot to thank you for a cool little game :) .. well done.

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game (Version 1.1.2 in Extras-Testing!)
 

I have also thought about random bird for bonus points, but thanks for the suggestion for a helmet-headed duck. I'm planning to make version 2.0.0 which have campaign mode and quickplay and the quickplay is the same as the game is now and in campaign mode there would be different "missions" for each level, for example "shoot 30 white ducks" and other ducks will decrease score and in campaign mode there would be some extra enemies.

But don't hold your breath for the 2.0.0 just yet :)

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game (Version 1.1.3 in Extras-Testing!)
 

1.1.3 now in testing, please test and vote :)

Changelog:
- Properly optified
- No need to tap in right direction to shoot
- Same background doesn't come more than once in a row

EDIT: And thanks for Andreas Anckar for pointing out the unproper optification in previous version.

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game (Version 1.1.3 in Extras!)
 

Them bloody ducks has hit the Extras repository, thanks to all testers!

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game (Version 1.1.3 in Extras!)
 

Whaha! Great game! my complements!

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game (Version 1.1.3 in Extras!)
 

@ developer: have you brainstormed further work on it? i absolutely love this game. You can surely develop it as a paid app

Re: [Maemo5] Them Bloody Ducks - 2D duck hunting game (Version 1.1.3 in Extras!)
 

Well I have planned some kind of "story mode" which would include different kind of ducks and levels and some bonus stages and boss battles etc. but haven't yet had time to start working on it.
