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.

Feeling bored but can't use your phone? Need a screen-free way to pass the time? Tic! has you covered! WHAT IS TIC? Tic! is a unique game with no sounds or visuals. Tic! uses haptic feedback (the vibrations your phone makes when you make a purchase, or long press an app on your home screen) in order to provide interactive, immersive gameplay! Just hold your phone in your hand, and tap away! HOW DOES TIC WORK? When you start, you'll feel a rhythm of 5 to 8 “Tics” (haptic vibrations). Your goal is to recreate the rhythm by tapping it anywhere on the screen. If your timing of your taps is close enough to the original, you win! If not, Tic! will replay the rhythm for you to try again. It sounds simple, but getting the timing just right is a fun challenge! Tic's Best Features: ANYTIME: Unlike fidget toys and stress balls, Tic! is with you all the time, ready to help out whenever you're bored! ANYWHERE: You can play Tic! anywhere without zoning out of your surroundings! (ex: in a movie theater, during a meeting, etc.) ANYONE: Almost anyone can play Tic!, even those who are sick or have certain disabilities. Tic includes accessibility support to make sure it's game fun for everyone! EYE STRAIN: Tic! offers a less stimulating alternative to social media and other games, perfect for when you want to give your eyes a break! WATCH: Your purchase includes Tic! for both iPhone and Apple Watch. The game is optimized for both versions, taking into account their differences in size and hardware. HAVE A QUESTION? We would love to hear it! Please reach out to us at freestyle.feedback@gmail.com (One more thing. We have added accessibility support within Tic!, but if there is anything else we can do to make the app even more accessible please let us know by reaching out at freestyle.feedback@gmail.com or by telling us in a review. Thank you!)
