Mallard Hunter

Take aim and test your reflexes in Mallard Hunter — a retro-style arcade shooter inspired by the classic duck hunting games of the 8-bit era.

Mallards are flying across the sky and it's up to you to shoot them down before they escape. But watch out — cardinals and owls are also in the air, and shooting the wrong bird costs you points. And whatever you do, don't shoot the dog.
