I'm not sure the duck game is counting scores correctly and upon restarting the game from the in-game button, the monsters are still left on screen from the previous round, for more points.

Repro rate: 5/5

Reproduction steps:
1. Launch duck game
2. Play though shooting only monsters.
3. Observe score not increasing.
4. Press the "restart" button after round ends.
5. Observe monsters.

Result:
Monsters that were left over from the previous round are still present on the next round to shoot.

Score does not increment correctly.

Expected result:
Monsters should reset between rounds.
Score should increment correctly.

Note:
This wouldn't fail a TRC, but would definitely be classed as a B Class bug.

Hi again,

We did try, and weren't yet able to reproduce this bug.

I wonder if it was just a temporary glitch that you experienced;
maybe some resource didn't load properly.

It seems as though you had just two attempts at this game so far (both with a score of "3"),
which does seem to indicate some bug of glitch may have happened.

However, could you possibly retry once again, and see if it is still happening to you?

Thanks.

@Andrew oh really? If it's only reading that I played twice then I guess it wasn't counting the restarts as another go then. I will definitely give this another go and get back to you. :)

@Mikeawesome1986 hello again,
it just crossed my mind to mention:

The Monsters need to be shot at TWICE Each, to destroy them, and gain points.

Some users who commented about not understanding this game, didn't realize this.

We can understand how that could be unclear,
(we hoped players would continue shooting till they see the Monster gone, and learn by trial)

and we intend to add mention of this basic instruction, to the game soon.

@Andrew Hey, yes that appears to be the issue. It wasn't clear that they needed to be shot twice in order to kill them. :)
