Read full description

Tap a duck, clear the pond. Let the Duck Out is a gentle directional logic puzzle for fans of brain games and mind games. The rule is simple: tap a duck and it glides across the pond in the way it's facing โ€” until it slips off the edge, bumps another duck, or bursts in a happy splash when it meets a duck of the same color. Line up matching ducks and watch the splashes chain. Your goal is to clear every duck from the board. But ducks facing different ways block each other, so every level is a calm little ordering puzzle โ€” pure logic, spatial thinking, and a few clever taps. No countdown clock breathing down your neck. Just you, the pond, and that satisfying click when a plan comes together. With 35 hand-crafted levels across five dreamy chapters โ€” Dawn, Twilight, Dusk, Midnight, and Aurora โ€” the challenge grows gently as new ideas unfold. Finish those and the endless Infinity chapter keeps the brain training going with fresh puzzles that never run out. Each level is a compact teaser that rewards patience, focus, and problem solving. Stuck on a tricky board? A little help is always close. Tap Hint to reveal a smart next move, and pinch to Zoom and pan around larger ponds so you can plan every path with ease.
