We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Fans of stealthy animal antics who want short, level-based challenges
- Players who prefer environmental traps and distractions over direct combat

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking an expansive adventure may find the 25-level structure limited in scope

- Players looking for a realistic visual style may not connect with the hand-drawn forest presentation
Our take on Catch a Duck
Players who want direct combat may hit a wall when progress depends on hiding, underground routes, and making enemies trigger traps. Those expecting a large campaign may also stop at the fixed set of 25 levels.
What is Catch a Duck?
Play as a fox trying to catch ducks in a hand-drawn forest.
Move through hideouts and underground tunnels, avoid traps, and lure enemies into them. The game includes situations where hunters can be outsmarted and a wolf and bear can be drawn into a fight. Each forest animal has its own artificial intelligence, supported by 30 animal animations and 110 distinct animal mouth sounds. The forest is built from more than 100 illustrated tiles across 25 levels. Originally made in 2012 by a four-person independent team, the game was later remade for controller and keyboard input.
