1,457 PointsAdditional features and functionality
I shared the finished product with my co-workers and they suggested some additional features/ functionality so I implemented a few for practice/learning.
The ones I added are saving a screenshot of the screen at the end of the game to share the score and adding an energy bar mechanic based on movement and consumption of flies.
What are some other ways to modify and/or add features to the game that everyone thinks might be fun?
A few I was thinking of was removing the duck but imposing a time limit and having an AI controlled frog catch flies to compete against. Also potentially having the duck be player controlled by someone else and pulling the camera out to show the whole environment.

Courses Plus Student 12,188 PointsThat is a nice smart solution! looking for "encourage" rather adding more stress.
