About

Duck

Features
Read full description

Three balance games. One thumb. Every ranked score is replayed on our server before it counts. Duck is a game of precision, not obstacles. There is nothing to dodge and nothing chasing you. When you fall, it is because you corrected too much. TOWER Catch each falling box dead centre. Every off-centre catch leans the tower a little further. DRIFT Keep the raft level while cargo lands on it and keeps moving your balance point. FLOW Hold to rise, let go to sink, and stay inside a current that keeps getting narrower. LEADERBOARDS YOU CAN TRUST Your phone does not send your score. It sends what you did, and our server replays it with the same physics. A run reaches the board only if it comes out exactly the same. Three modes, three global boards, plus your country and your friends. LIVE DUELS Two to four friends play the same run at the same second: the same waves, the same boxes. The last one standing wins, and afterwards you can watch anyone's run exactly as it was played. FRIENDS Swap codes, compare your best scores and nudge the friend one place above you. Five lives, one more every 25 minutes, and three runs before you even sign in. Out of lives? Wait, or watch a short ad for an extra one. Lives, the day pass and Duck Unlimited are optional. Duck Unlimited is an auto-renewing subscription, weekly or monthly, that removes the wait for lives. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm. It renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period, in Settings > your name > Subscriptions.
