Save the Ducks: Screw Removal

At first glance it looks simple: you see bolts, you remove them one by one, the ducks drop to safety. By level five you realise the order matters. Pull the wrong bolt and the structure collapses in the wrong direction — duck gone, start over.

Save the Ducks is a physics puzzle. Objects on each level are held together by bolts and screws. You remove them one at a time and physics decides what falls where. The goal is to guide every duck to the safe zone without letting anything land on them.

The physics plays fair. If you understand how the pieces connect, you can predict the outcome. That gives a satisfying sense of control. But levels keep adding complexity: moving platforms, chains that pull multiple objects at once, traps that trigger when a specific element falls. Each stage is a small problem with one correct solution that you have to find yourself.

There's no timer, no limit on attempts. The rules take thirty seconds to understand, and the levels stay challenging long after that. Works for anyone — the mechanics are clear immediately, and the puzzle design keeps the difficulty rising at a pace that feels earned rather than frustrating.

Before each move, trace the connections: if I remove this bolt, what does it pull? Sometimes the smart move is to start at the far corner, clearing space for the structural pieces to fall safely before removing the bolts closer to the ducks.
