Quartz Duck

About this game

Quartz Duck starts with a simple image: a crystal-clear slab suspended in mid-air, dotted with
restless rubies, sapphires, and citrine stones that buzz like startled fireflies. One tap quiets a
single gem; a steady finger press hushes its tremor completely, letting you ease the stone
across the slick surface toward a small, glowing target zone. Deliver the gem, earn ten bright
coins, feel a soft vibration pulse through the handset—and then the target shifts, another
tremor passes across the board, and the restless dance begins again.
Each session opens with three hearts shining beneath your coin balance. Every stone that
slips off the edge or collides with the finish while still shaking costs a heart and jolts the
screen, reminding you the board remains alive beneath your touch. Chain ten perfect
deliveries without a mistake and one heart returns, but never beyond that original trio. As
your score rises the pane shivers more often, the goal disc wanders farther between corners,
and the quiet gaps you once trusted grow shorter and shorter.
Nothing interrupts the flow: no ads, no power-ups, no store beyond a simple coin counter that
exists solely to pay the 50-coin entry fee for each new round. Should that total drop below
100, Quartz Duck slips a small bonus into your balance so you can keep playing. A modest
settings panel lets you toggle sound, vibration feedback, and background music; a single
opt-in notification prompt appears after the privacy policy, offering gentle reminders no more
than once per day.
Sessions last as long as your focus holds. Some end within seconds—one careless nudge, one
rogue tremor—and others stretch into rhythmic, meditative minutes where each flawless slide
feels like balancing dew on a feather. Whether you’re filling a spare minute in line or settling
in to chase a personal best on a lazy evening, Quartz Duck delivers a pure test of calm
reflexes: just you, a quivering field of colour, and the satisfying hush that follows every
perfectly guided stone.
