If you let a duck get away or shoot a crane you will get an “X” and once you get three the game is over. Touch the screen to shoot an arrow.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Beach Games at 4.3 against Duck Bow Hunt's 2.5. Beach Games also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 40 months) and chart position (#173 vs unranked). Duck Bow Hunt's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Beach Games costs $0.99 and Duck Bow Hunt $0.99 up front. Beach Games sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Duck Bow Hunt asks for nothing beyond the download.
Beach Games holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beach Games has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Beach Games's written reviews are positive against 100% of Duck Bow Hunt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Beach Games ships an update every 2 months, Duck Bow Hunt every 40 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
