I like the idea and design of the game. Very creative ! The animation and simulation of the ducks looks very realistic. Especially for the way that the ducks move, I can feel they are ducks but are not other animals. Also the way of bring baby ducks back is also very smart. I have also thought about such game topic but the I cannot figure out how to make the player feels like the duck mother is collecting its children. I think you find out a very easy but still feels realistic way which is let baby ducks following their mother automatically. One thing you can add might be some enemies and the duck mother needs to protect its children.
Overall, very nice game. Great job!

However, what was in my mind is a shepherd who tries to collect his sheep into a sheepfold, it would not be as sweet as this one. I really appreciate the metaphor that being an adult and tries to bring family members together. The music is also relaxing and full of love. The shape and movement of the duck and her children are well polished to give us a feeling of how ducks behave. Some toys that attract ducklings attention may make this game a little more challenging. A great game made with love!

The concept is really creative. The animations are great for both the mother duck and the ducklings. The soundtrack with occasional chirping and quacking is perfect. The the short flight makes it realistic. Their movement in water is also good. Just for fun, I was trying to run away from the ducklings once they were following and the heavy obstacles were fun to play around with. May be, if you continue with this project, you can add fun interactions with those obstacles. The game is lovely and easy to follow. I really enjoyed playing it.

I loved the way the duck differs while walking in the water and on the ground. Also, when the duck stops all the ducklings collide. That is pretty accurate behavior. The interactions with the environment and the animations, the flapping of wings on collision is great.
One of the ducks when touched goes to the wall (near his sibling) though instead of following. That is pretty sweet in itself. Very good work !

I like the feel, very calm and joyful. The movement on the ground is a bit too slow, or too monotonous. Maybe add other ponds. I like what you did with the jump, flapping wings to go higher.
The animations of the avatar are really cool too.

The player duck moves in a charming way, and all those little ducks following around give the game a relax and happy feeling. The 3D mode is well made. Probably next step will be add the fox (I could not find it), and fix the obstacles(some of them fly away once I touch). Really well-designed and applied. 10/10
