In this two-player game, you’ll face off as rival ducks striving to build the largest duckling family in the treacherous shallows. But it’s not just about survival; you’ll need to outwit both your opponent and the ruthless predators lurking nearby.
The shallows are filled with dangers—shadows of fish that hunt close to shore and a predatory bird that swoops down on the largest duck cluster. Risk it all as you fight for food and safety, choosing between protecting your young or turning them into resources to lay new eggs. Every duckling eaten grants vital nutrients, but beware: your rival might just eat yours first.
When the timer runs out, it’s a final showdown. Will your flock outnumber your opponent's, or will it be a neck-and-neck draw? Plan your moves carefully, gather your flock, and prove who’s truly the top duck in this wild world!
