In this game, you can enjoy scooping ducks floating in the pool. It's a fun combination of ball scooping and crane games. There are three game modes. *Normal duck scooping game Press the button to move the crane. Scoop up the ducks in time. You get points when you scoop up a duck. Scoop up the same duck three times for a combo. You get a higher score and a new duck will come in. When the time limit is up, the game is over. If you get a combo, the remaining time will increase. You can continue up to five times. If you continue, your score and combo status will be carried over. *Online battle Compete with friends and family in online duck scooping. One person creates a battle room first. At that time, a four-digit room number will be notified. The other person enters that room number and enters the battle room to start the battle. The person who scoops the most ducks and gets the most points wins. Combinations of duck types that you catch will result in combos, which will add to your score. Players' strategies will be tested as they try to steadily scoop up ducks within the time limit to earn points, or try to get high-scoring combos and turn the game around. *Bingo game Scoop up balls with numbers written on them floating in the pool, and if the numbers appear on the bingo chart, a mark will be placed on them. If you get marks vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, you get bingo. The water flows faster and faster over time, making it more difficult to save the balls. If you scoop up a time-extension ball, the time limit will be extended. (The time will be extended even if you get bingo.) When the time limit is reached, the game is over. When playing online, an Internet connection is required. The user is responsible for any communication fees required for communication.
