Billing War: you against the other side's lawyer. Choices that counter each other, a budget and a clock. The daily case, the computer, or a friend by link. Every match ends on the invoice.

Meet the flock

Tiny, Roady and Daisy, three white call ducks, together on the grass

The duck in our games, from a photo of Roady

Tiny

The smallest of our three white call ducks, hatched in May 2022. We lost him in 2023, and every game we make carries his name.

Roady, a white call duck, mid-quack

Roady

The biggest of the three, with the curled tail feather, and the duck in most of our photos. He is the one still with us, and he is the duck you see as Tiny in our games.

Daisy with her teddy bear

Daisy

Our girl, with the softer face, the smaller cheeks and the markings on her bill. May 2022 to February 2026, never far from her teddy bear or from Roady. We miss her.

Rusty as a duckling, drinking from a dish on the grass

Rusty

Our mallard. We pulled her out of a dock wall as a duckling in 2021 and raised her for eight months until she flew off on her own. She still comes back every day, and she brings her friends.

About

The Ducklark Games duck

Ducklark Games is a very small studio on Long Island, New York, with our ducks Roady and Rusty, and the memory of Tiny and Daisy. Every game we make carries Tiny's name.

We make games for grown-ups who like a good puzzle and a quiet minute: easy to learn, kind to your time, and never interrupted mid-play by an ad.
