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. Don't hesitate to try "Hunting the ducks" for free.

Read full description

15 Puzzle is an addictive sliding puzzle game where players rearrange numbered tiles to achieve a specific pattern. With smooth gameplay, intuitive controls, and full gesture support, players can enjoy a challenging yet relaxing experience. Developed in 2024 by Emanuel Boboiu and Andrei Mischie, and updated in October 2025 by Emanuel Boboiu and Nelu Cîmpean, the game is optimized for seamless performance on mobile devices and supports screen readers, ensuring accessibility for all players. Gameplay 15 Puzzle features grids with 9, 16, or 25 cells, offering varying levels of difficulty to suit all skill levels. Your objective is to arrange the numbered tiles in ascending order within the grid. For example, in a 4×4 grid, you'll need to arrange the numbers from 1 to 15. The grid contains one empty cell, allowing you to slide adjacent tiles into the empty space. To move a tile, simply tap, click, or use gestures. If the tile is adjacent to the empty cell, it will slide into the empty space. Continue sliding the tiles strategically until you've arranged them in the correct order, ensuring the empty cell ends up in the bottom-right corner. This game was created to demonstrate how a single codebase can power a game across major platforms while maintaining excellent accessibility.
