About Duck Rescue Boat
A shipment of ducks has fallen into the sea. The ducks are drifting surrounded by hungry octopuses. Manage the duck rescue boat, day and night, and collect as many ducks as you can. Watch out for the octopuses, there are a limited number of hits. Collect the life floats to increase the number of hits.
How to play Duck Rescue Boat
There is very little to learn before your first run. Load the game above and it fills the player in portrait. On a phone you can play one-handed; on desktop the frame stays centred so nothing is cropped. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Steer, accelerate and brake |
| Spacebar | Handbrake or nitro boost |
| R | Reset the car after a crash |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
