The game offers a relaxing and immersive experience, allowing players to interact with a variety of rubber ducks in a peaceful environment.
The VR aspect enhances the gameplay, making interactions with the ducks feel more tactile and immediate compared to the original game.
Visually appealing with high-quality textures and a charming atmosphere, it provides a unique and enjoyable escape from reality.

The game suffers from bugs and issues with movement and interaction, making gameplay frustrating at times.

Limited VR interactions and controls, such as only having teleportation available, detract from the overall immersive experience.

Users report significant stability issues in the game, highlighting unpredictable teleportation mechanics and buggy physics interactions, such as odd collisions between objects. While some see potential for improvement, the current experience is marred by these technical problems.
- “I left a good review because I see potential, but everything in the game is buggy. The teleportation is really unpredictable; it can be good, horrible, or somewhere in between. The physics are very buggy, especially with teleporting. When touching a duck (in water) with another duck (in hand), it creates a weird reaction that feels like a collision, but not quite.”
