You are in the woods on the shore of a pond. Occasionally, a duck will fly by, sometimes from left to right, sometimes from right to left, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly. Either you are a hunter trying to shoot the ducks, or you are a nature conservation officer trying to catch the ducks with a net for research. Try to catch as many ducks as possible to earn points. But listen carefully, because you only have 20 attempts. Fast ducks earn you more points. The more ducks you catch in a row, the more points you receive for the next duck you catch. Note: Ducks you do not attempt to catch will not be counted. The fewer attempts you need to catch a duck, the more points you earn. Note: "Hunting the ducks" is an audio game, which means that the game is played by ear. Headphones or earbuds are required to play this game properly. "Hunting the ducks" integrates Game Center, allowing you to compare scores, track your achievements and play against each other in real time with 2 to 4 players.
