[ INVITE WITH ONE QR ]
Bring family in with a QR code or a link. No sign-up, no phone number.
Kids and grandparents get in on the first try.

Group chats that have gone quiet
Parents looking for something short and wholesome to play with their kids

1.4.0 Oct 7
A new game: Daily Clay Shot
Turn your phone sideways and shoot clays with both thumbs. Fire the matching side the moment a target crosses its frame. The frames follow the target up and down, so all you need is timing.
Rhythm runs, six and eight shot chains timed to your reloads, rounds that start slow and keep speeding up, parachuting aliens drifting down and balloons rising up, all mixed differently every day. Clear a whole run without a miss for bonus points. Shoot a duck or a goose and it flies off angry with some of your points.
Hit more than 70% in 60 seconds to open the bonus stage, and pass 8000 to become a sharpshooter. Like every game here, the whole world shoots the same round on the same day.
Family is now Members and Groups
Play with friends, coworkers or your club, not just family. Your records and rankings stay just as they were.

Still no ads, and every game stays free.

A new game: Daily Bowling
Pull the ball back and let go. Slide your finger sideways as you release and the ball hooks. Ten frames make today's score, and the whole world bowls the same lane on the same day.
Oduku special stage: the fox is coming
A fox now shows up on the special stage only. You have three minutes to place every duck, and a wrong tap brings the fox in sooner. When the time runs out the fox carries a duck away. The puzzle is no harder. You are simply solving it with something at your back.
Daily Water Path: a new rule
Water every seed and the stage is done. Water is no longer a way to lose. It is your score, and the less you use the higher you place. You no longer have to fit every pipe together either. You choose the route, cut the dead ends, and decide whether the shortcut is worth it.
World Ranking is unchanged
Everyone plays the same board on the same day, so records compare fairly. Open the game tab to see where you stand today. The target records on empty spots were measured from real past play, so they are within reach. Family Ranking sits on the next tab, exactly as before.
Rankings are anonymous. No names, no profiles, just records.
All ads were removed in the last update. Every game stays free.

Target records
Empty spots on the board show target records. These are not guesses. We measured the records people have actually set and worked back from them, so they are within reach. Even at number one there is still a target left, which is a reason to come back tomorrow.
Family Ranking is unchanged
Tap Family next to World and your family board appears exactly as before. No family yet? You can compete on the world board in the meantime.
Rankings are anonymous. No names, no profiles, just records.
Support the developer
