Three yellow defender ducks guard a glowing egg at night while giant thief ducks loom in the sky behind them.

Waddle Raiders

Wobbly ducks want your eggs. Place your defenders, tag the thieves and keep the nest full.

Coming to PC, Mac, Steam Deck, iOS and Android

How it plays

A round in progress: yellow defenders guard the nest in a clearing while blue and turquoise thieves run in from the forest.

  1. Place defenders

    Spend energy to drop defender ducks on the hex grass around the nest. Energy trickles in all round, so a tired duck can always be replaced.

  2. Tag the thieves

    Thieves waddle in from the meadow and grab the nearest egg. Touch a carrier with a defender and it fumbles the egg and runs off in a panic.

  3. Keep the nest full

    Hold out until the clock runs down. Every egg still home earns stars; lose three and the round is over.

What's in the game

The main menu on a phone: the Waddle Raiders title and the Play, Tutorial, Endless and Ducks buttons over a meadow with defender and thief ducks strolling about.

The farm hub

The main menu is a meadow where every duck you have met strolls about. A duck you meet for the first time walks in wearing a NEW ribbon, and the others come over to say hello.

  • Tap a duck and it quacks.
  • Hold a finger on it to pet it: hearts float up and it follows your finger.
  • Pull a duck and it flaps to get away, then runs off and knocks over anyone in its path.
  • Tap the grass to drop bread crumbs and watch the ducks squabble over them.
The level select on a phone: chapter 3, Raid season, with its new ducks and level blocks 15 to 21.

21 levels in three chapters

Each chapter brings three new ducks, and after every new duck comes a practice level that uses it in a new situation. Win a level with at least one star to open the next one.

Meet the flock

Only Waddlers come for the eggs. Learn the basics with the Booper, the fast Dasher and the wide Big Duck.

An endless run on a phone: wave 1, three defenders around the nest and a counter of scared-off ducks at the top.

Endless mode

One long round with no clock. Every 30 seconds a new wave comes in with more ducks, each wave faster than the last. Hold out as long as you can.

  • Pick a party of up to five of the defenders you have unlocked, or let the game pick one at random.
  • A big counter at the top keeps score of every thief you scare off.
  • Your ten best runs go on the leaderboard, ranked by how long you held out.
