It seems like clicking on the glass kettles (with the black lid and silver knob on top) doesn't register? They're always the last thing I need, and I click them over and over as the timer runs out.
Adore the art, though.
I can't move. Clicking makes my duck "quack" (silently) and the camera seems to respond to my cursor a little, but that's it. My duck stays firmly rooted in place. I've tried to play here on Itch, and on the Ducklings.io site; they both have the same issue. Would love to know how I can fix this. I've played Ducklings in the past and it was great.

Overall, really, 10/10. This is my favourite game at the moment. Progression is so satisfying and it's such an alluring little world.
Overall a really fun experience! I love the little Easter egg of "Are you a boy or a girl?" with the option to just say "No." That was really nice 🏳️🌈
I wish you could interact with the NPCs more (most of them only say one line, and talking to the spiky guy after our training session makes him "say" an error message), and I found the menu system a bit clunky. It would be nice if, say:
And so on.
I also wish that explored areas were mapped out in more detail. I have a terrible sense of direction (even in video games) and I'm always getting turned around, even in the forests. Starting out with a completed map would take a lot of the joy out of things, but if the ground you'd already covered was mapped out, I think that would make the experience more fun. It would also be nice if I could rename my team members later on, rather than having just one chance.
Does each species have a predetermined personality, or is that shaped by the tasks they do?
Can I cheer my Naisad/Cryad up???? I feel so bad for it :(
One final question: when the full version is done, where will we be able to find it?
So, I've seen the snail planet in a previous playthrough, but I haven't gotten near it in this one yet.
A child of two regular Earth bunbons has a snail shell anyway. "Mystery Shell" also has a child who (while unrelated to the deer bunbon) got antlers.
I'm not complaining -- I actually think this is pretty cool -- but I'm curious whether this is technically supposed to happen or not.
EDIT: I've found something which I am complaining about! I'll pause the game and come back to one less bunbon, and the logs will say that that bunbon blasted off when I wasn't looking. Which sucks. I haven't found out yet if these bugged-out spacefarers are waiting for me on the end screen or not.
If I save my game (downloadable version), it saves the amount of money that I have but nothing else. None of my plants, none of my art items. They all disappear.
I don't know if others have had this same issue but it sucks :(
Edit: I've now had a couple successes with saving, exiting, and coming back . . . sort of. Now my plants end up stacked on top of each other, all in the same spot, and all the other spots disappear.
Hey, is it just a random chance whether the pumpkins will grow or not? It's looked to me like only one will grow at a time, no matter how many you plant, which has really messed up my attempts to keep a sable moth! I thought I could save up some pumpkins to get through the days where there wasn't one to harvest, but it seems like they decay???
Absolutely love the game, by the way. Best one I've played in ages. My only other complaint is that I wish there was a box or something to store all the eggs I'm not using, 'cause they're getting in my way XD
