What players say

What you see is what you get, plus a little bit of secrets to discover. Would be nice if after beating the game once there was an accelerated mode; or just a faster way to get bounces generally since often I would have a specific arrangement of ducks and jiggle my mouse in a curious way to rub the ducks together since that was faster than bouncing them.

Funny, inventive, and respects your time. If you're interested in a couple of hours of absurdist fun, you're in the right place. If you want a fun 100% that you can knock out in a night, this fits the bill.
