Help The Duck
Direct a fresh water supply to a stranded rubber duck by manipulating pipes and carving out terrain. This physics puzzler forces players to account for gravity and water pressure to fill the bathtub efficiently.
About This Game
Help The Duck is a Terrain-Deformation and Fluid-Dynamics puzzle. The core logic involves Navier-Stokes Particle Simulation: the water flows based on gravity and the "Path Density" you carve into the soil. It emphasizes Pressure Management and "Obstacle-Bypass Pathfinding."
How to Play
Swipe your finger across the "Dirt" to dig a path for the water. The gameplay is Environmental Manipulation: guide the water to the rubber duck's bathtub while collecting three "Bonus Stars." Interaction involves Switch-Logic—opening valves or moving pipes to redirect the flow into different chambers.
Tips & Tricks
High scores depend on "Volume Preservation." The pro secret is to dig "Narrow, Steep Channels." Wide channels cause the water to spread thin and evaporate/soak in (reducing volume), while steep, narrow paths maintain "Hydraulic Pressure," ensuring the maximum amount of water reaches the duck for a perfect score.
