What Makes Punch Kick Duck Stand Out
Fighting is all about timing. Just ask any duck.
The right move + right time = swift victory.
All you need to do is PUNCH KICK DUCK!
The cruel Baron Tigrisso has imprisoned you in his tower. Fight hordes of the Baron’s hench-critters as you battle up the tower to confront your captor.
Simple controls & challenging action mean you'll soon be sending foes flying and chasing high scores. But be warned, your enemies are as determined as they are numerous, so you'll need to think quick and act quicker!!
Just remember these three golden rules, passed down by countless generations of ducks:
PUNCH beats KICK
KICK beats DUCK
DUCK beats PUNCH
Oh, and don’t forget to RUN. You don’t want to meet The BEAR.
Think you can handle it? Sure you can. You’re one tough duck!
- Three selectable difficulty levels.
- Unbox a colorful cast of characters.
- Playable in both landscape and portrait orientation.
- Cloud saves.
- Simple responsive touch controls.
- Controller support.
From the creator of Shoot The Moon, Punch Kick Duck is a compact, lovingly made score-chaser game designed to test your skills without emptying your wallet.
This Casual game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
It is hard and challenging but you can change your skin and the level you are on! Also the moves like the punch or the kick are cool because you just have to tap the model of the duck doing a kick or a punch.
Good difficulty, replayabilty, low ad count, lots of characters, great game.
Man that tenth level on difficulty level 3 was so painful and even getting the last badge which that we have to beat 100 hench-critters was also a pain. But we did get the last badge and get all ten golden stars on every level. What a awesome game. Thanks to the same creators of shoot the moon.
It feels more like a real game than a mobile game. Really good job with this one.
Punch kick duck is the opposite of shoot the moon. Both of the games have three words they both have a lot of costumes. Its weird that they both feel the same. But we think the + version is better.
We like this game, but level 4 and 5 are super hard if you are a beginner and dont know how to properly fight the foxed and/Or crowds with different animals.

Literally one of the underrated good mobile games we could find, its really fun.
There should be a "move buttons" option so you can move the buttons. Due to this not being added it's super hard to fight the final boss. We get that it was made to be difficult but please add it.
This game is just really fun, challenging, low amount of ads and when you do see one, its super short, and we like trying to beat our brothers score.
Simple game. Very fun. What more do we need to say? Give it a go and try it yourself.
We think there should be a endless mode because after you beat the game theres not much to do and an endless mode would be so much fun! But still a great game.
This game seems so simple on the first look, but nonetheless its so good. Good characters, design and mechanics. We have all achievements and we wish there was more content in the game. It actually has adds but they dont appear during the fight, so we dont mind.
So as we were playing the game obviously one of the enemies you will face are the foxes which can either Punch or duck but we were having trouble telling which moves they were going to do when they were throwing the bottle and it kind of screwed us up especially when we were down on a heart show we were wondering if you could put the bottle over their head or something like that to notify the player if theyre going to throw it above and not make it a guessing game but other than that its a really really good game and worth the time.
The duck is so funny and there are different characters we never new this was a thing.
This game taught us how to fight back against our grandma who fought in the Vietnam war back in 2021. This game showed us the true meaning of life, which we then sold on the black market for v-bucks for the next Fortnite battle royal skin. Once we did this ninja and us 1v1 for us to dominate. After that we decided we were to good for Fortnite and we joined faze clan in halo. Halo was to easy so we then joined WWE and beat John Ciena after he offered us ice cream in Chinese.
You need to make it easier please otherwise its just a really really really really really really good game, bro. Its really fun.
It's seems like a good game and idk if we're just dumb but we literally can't turn around to fight the people behind us? Like if we do we still hit forwards instead of backwards idk help us out please (edit) we were playing in a dark room so we couldn't see the other side sorry we thought we were going crazy, hard game but it's fun so yeah.
They all just team at u so fast you dont have a chance to hit back its so annoying bro.
The idea/game mechanic of tall middle and short is too hard to understand. If you wanna reach a large playerbase. Make it so 1st/top button beats tall opponent, 2nd beats medium opponent and 3rd for shortest. If you implement this we will love your game. The game is very polished but the complicatedness holds us back from playing more. Thank you.
This game is amazing. Its very challenging and we think its very good so guys we think you should we recommend this game and yeah we think you should download it and yeah, its actually amazing.
It a great game .maybe the best game we have ever played.
Love the game love the graphics and everything about it.
Fabulous game. Perfect difficulty level and learning curve. The people who say its too hard are just bad.
Very difficult and the gameplay is fun, as you get better, you feel better and accomplished.
It is awmsome but it needs marvel characters ex. Venom.
Punch Kick Duck, an amazing game worth 5 of our stars. Why? -Punch Kick Duck could be helpful in real life situations like if youre being robbed or kidnapped, because it shows you how much attacks being better than others really matters. It can also be used as skill for other games as it gives fast reflexes. -Punch Kick Duck is very creative. The name itself sounds like another rip-off or a really easy game, but it is very much the opposite. It has high quality graphics, and things you either have to learn on your own, or your character says/ thinks about. For instance, theres the foxes that you would learn their attack patterns from the speech bubble, but you have to learn bees movements on your own. Another very creative thing is how at floor 10 (we didnt beat the game, we only got to floor 10), you go up to the tiger and youre like: Hello…. OLD BUSINESS PARTNER. DUN DUN DUNNNNN. VERY sudden, on point, creative plot twist. -Punch Kick Duck is just fun. Sure it might be hard, but when you finally get to the next floor of a really hard level, you get a BIG sense of either excitement or relief. But then when you get to the next floor, you flip sides which can really mess you up, and some people might not like that, but really Punch Kick Duck is trying to improve both your left and right skills for the Final Battle. In conclusion: FIVE STARS.
Very good actually good mobile game better then like all the rest.
A little bit tricky but once you get it, it is amazing.
We are sad bc this is such a great game and we only immediately deleted it bc it got too hard too fast and we didnt have time to get used to it and we also am just bad at gaming.
We were playing this game and this game was good until every single time when we die theres a pop-up ad. They need to lower the ads and Ive played the Apple plus version and that one had the money lower for the revive in this one. Its just 40 in the Apple plus its 20. Able to revive yourself please put it 20 and lower the ads.
Ok we just want to accept but it is fun and thats where the downside comes in. You see that the game is easy and fun, right? Well the game is SUPER hard with mobile. Even if you set it on 1, you still get cooked. So devs PLS MAKE IT EASIER.
We really like this game but super hard.
We love this game, and its super fun and has good animation and quality. Id say the only thing that should be changed is the difficulty, its super hard. We guess thats the reason you can play it on a game pad, but Im not really sure what type of game pad its talking about. We would also like to know, is it possible to connect a controller and use that.
We dont know if its because Im on phone but trying to hit the duck button is nearly impossible if youre not looking thats it though the game is very good EDIT:Thanks for whichever dev that told us you can adjust the controls, its great that the devs actually pay attention to the reviews.
Like we like the Game but the bear and two different animals attacking at the same time is too hard.And we were actually so close to going the next level but a stupid short ugly pig came and kill us.And pls stop making the bad guys dance when you lose.But other than that the is game is good.
Punch Kick Duck is a bit like a lightning-fast game of rock paper scissors. Punch beats kick, kick beats duck, duck beats punch. Sounds simple, right? Well, the first couple of times, it is. But dealing with eight enemies at the same time is a headache you have to experience to understand. And thats not even counting all of the modifiers the game throws in to keep you on your toes. Ranged attacks. Enemies that switch attack styles. Even a timer counting down to your death. Worst of all, you cant take more than one hit. So youll be throwing yourself at the same level, the same obstacles over and over again for a long, long time. All of this wouldnt be so bad if the controls werent so bad. The layout consists of six buttons, two for punching, two for kicking, and two for ducking, one of each on either side of the screen. Hit the right one at the right time, the enemy topples to the ground. Hit the wrong one, youre rewarded with a smack in the face. The problem is that the buttons are crammed so tightly together that you cant help but mash more than one. Its like trying to play a piano built for a dollhouse. And keep in mind that a single mistake is enough to end your run. If this were a PC game that we could use a keyboard to play or an endless runner where mistakes dont count that much, Id like it a lot better. Maybe all it really needs is bigger buttons with better feedback. But as is, we dont think Ill be replaying Punch Kick Duck anytime soon.
This game is the best mobile game Ive seen in years! Its very polished and well made. The adds are very non intrusive and very few unlike most mobile games these days. The attention to detail is crazy! Definitely would recommend. 100/10.
We are wondering how to get untouchable achievement because on level 9 even if you. Dont get hit and beat up everyone it seems like its not enough so what we. Want is put more enemies on lvl 3 for hard difficulty pls and the game is so good ngl we will see what each character says. For final boss(: (please make untouchable possible by adding more enemies ).
Fun invigorating all the juiciness too hard though.
We like the fact that you can play horizontally and vertically. The fact that you can get more characters is very fun and challenging. Overall this game is great.
Whil we were at our home we found THIZ game and it honestly koolz.
This game is absolutely the bees knees! Its simple and fun. We couldnt stop laughing at the music and character animations. Give it a download.
This game is so fun. You have to keep passing levels. They get harder each round you could also change difficulty and stuff going on in that game really fun stuff fun game if you love fighting.
We love the game so much because we love King Punch Kick Duck we just love it we dont know why Please make more.
Was able to adjust difficulty and it made the game more enjoyable.
- Would just like to clarify something. There is (at least for us) barely any ads. Like, every other x5 game. Which is very generous. Also, each ad only lasts for about fiveish seconds before a skip icon or X pops up. A lot of people writing negative reviews seem to have a little uh cough skill issues.
This is the most artistic piece of art Ive ever seen. This is like the Mona Lisa of mobile games. The graphics are great, and dont even get us started on the dialogue. We sort of freaked out when we found out that the tiger is the ducks brother. We also like how the dialogue changes in the final battle when you change your character. For example, Milo the duck went through all that trouble just to get his ten bucks back. And Waffles the dog was the tigers former business partner. Overall, this might be the best mobile game on the planet. You deserve a parade for this. Or many a movie. We hope we see a part 2 in the future. Keep on making these amazing games.
Fun game its hard to beat level 4 it could use a little less bottle throwing.
We mean this game is fun, but it wouldnt really take up all our boredom.. That the only reason so hope all you guys can fine so real fun in this game.. Make sense.
