Ducky Push
Swipe a chubby duckling across tiny rooms and onto its pond.
Each level is a 5x5 grid with one duck, one pond, and obstacles; swipe to push the duck tile-by-tile until it slides into the water with a satisfying plop.
Swipe in four directions to push the duck; undo button uses one of limited rewinds.
