About the Game

A Waddleful Life is a cute, relaxing game where you play as a duck and raise ducklings. Care for your ducklings and help them grow from tiny hatchings to their first flight. 

Main Features

  • Be a duck with delightfully realistic duck movement and behaviours

  • Explore with your ducklings in the safety of a small, quiet park

  • Collect materials to build up your nest for your growing family

  • Play, cuddle, snack! New experiences make your ducklings excited to grow

  • Find and unlock rare magical fruits that grow your ducklings to their next age step

  • Relax, there's no dangers and no rush. Play at your own pace and have fun!

Not a Simulation

This game is just a nice, cute experience, and is not at all meant to be accurate to the life of real ducks. Your ducklings are always safe, they have endless grass and algae to nibble on, and are fine to be left alone.

Your job is simply to share new sights, activities, and treats with your ducklings to make them excited to grow up and one day fly off on their own.
