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.
Bubble Break Arcade
Read full descriptionHide full description
A neon-drenched puzzle arcade where every pop matters. Tap connected bubbles of the same color to pop them in satisfying cascades. Clear the board, beat the target score, and earn up to three stars on every level. Gravity pulls remaining bubbles down after each pop, and empty columns collapse inward -- the board shifts and transforms with every tap. With 100 handcrafted levels, three game modes, and a silky-smooth neon aesthetic, Bubble Break Arcade is the puzzle game that rewards both strategy and speed. * 100 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS Grids grow from 12x7 to 14x10 across five difficulty tiers: Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert, and Master. Each level has a unique name, a dynamic target score, and a star rating to master. Replay levels to improve your score -- only your best result is saved. * STAR RATING SYSTEM Earn up to three stars per level by meeting the target score and clearing a high percentage of the board. Clear 80% for one star, 90% for two, or 97%+ for the coveted three-star rating. Every level is winnable, but mastery demands clever planning. * THREE GAME MODES - Campaign: Progress through 100 levels with increasing difficulty. Unlock new colors, master time limits, and beat the target score to earn stars. - Endless: Survive as long as you can. New rows spawn from below at increasing speed as your score climbs. Rack up the highest score you can. - Blitz: 90 seconds on the clock against a regenerating board. Clear the grid and get a fresh set of bubbles. Fast, frantic, fierce. * SATISFYING COMBO SYSTEM Pop groups in rapid succession to build a combo multiplier. Each consecutive pop within 1.5 seconds adds 0.2x to your score, capped at a devastating 2x. Chaining large groups under the timer creates massive point bursts. * GRAVITY & PHYSICS Bubbles obey real gravity -- after each pop, cells fall downward and entire columns shift left to fill gaps. The board is alive, constantly reshaping with every move. Watch your strategy unfold in real time. * FULLSCREEN iPAD SUPPORT Beautifully adapted for every screen. The grid scales to fill all available space on iPad, with landscape and portrait orientations fully supported. No letterboxing, no wasted pixels -- just bubbles edge to edge. * NEON DEEP SPACE AESTHETIC Play in a cosmic dark theme with glowing neon bubbles, or switch to the crisp periwinkle light theme. Haptic feedback and fully original spatial audio immerse you in every pop, combo, and level-up. * AUTO-HINT SYSTEM Stuck? After two seconds of inactivity, the hint system highlights the largest available group. Purely optional -- you're always in control. * NO WIFI REQUIRED Play anywhere, anytime. All levels and game logic run locally on your device. Ads are network-only; the core game is fully offline. * ACCESSIBILITY Supports system Dynamic Type, reduced motion, and dark/light mode. Optimized for VoiceOver compatibility with clear tap targets and high-contrast visuals. Bubble Break Arcade is built for players who love polished puzzle gameplay. No timers on early levels -- learn at your own pace. Timers kick in from level 31, adding a thrilling race-against-the-clock layer as the challenge ramps up. Five difficulty tiers spread across 100 levels ensure a smooth difficulty curve that never feels unfair. Pop smarter. Score higher. Clear the board.
