About

Tiny Ducks

Features
Read full description

Tiny Ducks is an Apple Watch idle game about repopulating the world, one step at a time. The duck population collapsed. You found the last breeding pair. Your job: walk, hatch, discover new breeds through genetic mutation, and grow your flock until the planet is covered in ducks. How it works: Choose a breeding pair — mother + father from your Duckbook Walk. Every step hatches an egg. Check your watch. See your new ducks. Maybe discover a mutation — a new breed with real-time shader effects. Swap fathers to steer genetics. The mother is locked until you migrate. Walking with the same mother for a long time gives you a permanent boost to that family of ducks. When growth slows, migrate: release your ducks into the wild, convert population to golden eggs, and upgrade your nest. Start over. Faster. Bigger.

No phone. No login. No internet. Just you, your watch, and the next obstacle. FEATURES • Pick-up-and-play runs sized for a coffee break or a stoplight • True three-lane gameplay • Speed ramps up gradually — how long can you keep up? • Ride on top of cars to extend runs and rack up bonus distance • Pixel-perfect collision so close calls actually feel close • Animated runner with full jump arc • Local high score persists between sessions • Optimized for every Apple Watch size, from 38mm through 49mm Ultra CONTROLS • Swipe left or right to change lanes • Roll the Digital Crown as an alternate fast lane selector • Tap the screen to jump • Lower your wrist to pause; raise it to resume right where you left off WHY APPLE WATCH Most endless runners feel cramped on a watch screen — small targets, fiddly controls, awkward UI. Keep on Running! was designed for the wrist from day one. The lanes are wide. score sits comfortably out of the way. Swipes and Digital Crown both feel natural. Sessions are short, runs are punchy, and the next "one more try" is always just a tap away. How far can you run?
