Sort Them Ducks Four thousand ducks, one tidy store

The loop is simple and it works: grab a duck from the pile, work out what it is, and put it on the shelf that matches its category. A shark duck goes with animals, not with the beach shelf, no matter how convincing the shark costume looks. Hundreds of categories cover everything from knights to chefs, and the better you know your ducks, the faster the store comes together. Every correctly placed duck earns money, and every filled shelf turns one more corner of the store from a mess into a tidy, colorful display. It is a puzzle you solve with your eyes and your hands, one duck at a time.

Sorting thousands of ducks by hand is a fine way to start, but the store has more in store. Money earned from correct placements unlocks abilities: carry more ducks per trip, move faster, highlight ducks that match what you are holding, reveal the right shelf for the one in your hand, or automatically collect ducks near you. Each upgrade reshapes how a session feels, from careful one-duck errands to sweeping collection runs across the floor. There is also a slot machine for extra upgrades, and skins and outfits to dress your character up while the shelves fill up.

The new multiplayer level lets you run the duck store with friends instead of alone. You pick up ducks, fill shelves and use your abilities as a team, working through thousands of rubber ducks side by side. The new level also hides secrets to discover and outfits to try on between sorting sessions. Turning a floor buried in chaos into an organized duck paradise goes quicker, and is sillier, when someone else is throwing ducks at the same shelf you are.

There are no time limits and no penalties for a duck on the wrong shelf, so the game moves entirely at your pace. The look is bright and friendly, the ducks are rounded and endearing, and the whole thing is built for unwinding rather than winning. You can sort for twenty minutes or two hours, leave the store half done, and come back to shelves waiting patiently. When a shelf completes, it fills with a colorful collection that makes the room feel a little more finished than before. It is the kind of game where the reward for playing is simply a tidier store.

This is hands-on work in first person: walk the floor, pick stock up, carry it, place it where it belongs. The job sim appeal is all there, from learning the categories well enough to sort on sight, to upgrading your carrying and movement until the job gets smoother. Physics play a part too, so ducks pile up, tumble and can even be climbed when the heap gets tall enough. There are secrets tucked around the store, a few small endings once the work is done, and a final wave of around 2,000 more ducks for anyone who thought the shelves were finished.
