) for the PlayStation 3 originally used at E3 2005 and 2006. Using the motion-sensing Sixaxis controller, the player tilts a bathtub filled with water to move a rubber duck
around the tub. The goal is to collect smaller ducks, which when obtained will follow one's large duck (much like the arcade game Flicky
) and make it to the exit in a specified time. There are many pitfalls to avoid, such as jumping out of the tub and toy sharks which will try to eat the smaller ducks. Online Leaderboards track users fastest times, and allow users to see the replays of those fastest times. The game has three levels, fun, tricky, and tough. Each of these levels has 20 tubs that one needs to beat to proceed to the next level.
In August 2008 the game received an update named 3.00. In the update, there are now 9 different ducks to unlock, monthly leaderboards and an online store.
