Game Overview

Ever tried your luck at a carnival shooting gallery? This Atari 2600 classic nails that feeling—you’re lining up shots at moving targets while keeping an eye on your ammo. The targets drift by in these weird, hypnotic patterns, and hitting the right ones gives you extra bullets. But watch out for those sneaky ducks—they’ll swoop in and steal your shots if you’re not quick.

Clearing the whole rack feels oddly satisfying, like popping bubble wrap but with more pixelated explosions. The rounds get faster, the ducks get greedier, and before long you’re leaning into the screen like it’ll help your aim. It’s simple, but that’s the charm—no complicated controls, just you versus increasingly chaotic carnival physics.

Also, the sound effects are weirdly crunchy in the best way. That duck quack haunts my dreams.
