A casual 3D third-person idle simulation set at a seaside pool. Plastic ducks gradually drop into two pools while you watch them drift, bump together, and use a slide, building a collection as a day-night cycle and special events unfold. It supports solo and online cooperative play.

What players say

97% of 19,274 reviews are positive · 96% of 139 in the last 30 days

Players praise it as a calming background game, particularly the growing duck collection and small pool interactions. The most common complaint is that additional achievements are repeatedly tied to paid DLC, alongside frequent in-game DLC promotion. Some players also report unusually high PC resource use.
