Grab your slingshot and splat as many rubber ducks as you can before the clock runs out! Rubber ducks drift across the pond at four distances. The far ones are small, fast and worth the most points — but your paintball takes longer to get there, so you'll have to lead your shot. Miss and you lose points. Hit a REAL duck and you lose even more… and every now and then a real duck turns up in a yellow raincoat and hat, trying to pass as a rubber one. FEATURES • Quick 60-second rounds — perfect for a bus stop or a bath time • Four lanes of ducks: 5, 10, 15 and 30 points • Paint splats, squeaks and quacks • Real ducks in disguise to keep you honest • Game Center leaderboards — separate boards for iPhone and iPad, plus a combined view • A local top-10 on every device, even offline • Pause any time Made by a dad and his son. Quack.
