About Duck Blaster

Duck Blaster: Monkey Apocalypse is a top-down arena shooter. You play a duck in a closed arena while waves of monkeys pour in from every edge of the screen. Each wave brings more enemies, and new monkey types join as the waves climb.

The goal is to survive as many waves as you can and push your score higher. Every tenth wave is a boss wave with a large monkey that changes its bullet pattern as its health drops. Your best score is saved in this browser.

How to play

• Move with WASD or the arrow keys. Aim with the mouse. Your duck fires automatically.
• On a touch screen, drag to move. Your duck aims toward your finger.
• Press P or Esc to pause.
• Monkey types: Chasers rush you, Shooters fire back, Tanks are slow but tough, Kamikazes explode on contact, and Swarm monkeys are fast and fragile.
• Defeated monkeys sometimes drop power-ups: Health, Spread shot, Piercing shots, Rapid fire, Shield, and Bomb, which hits every monkey on screen and clears enemy bullets.
• Your health slowly regenerates. The run ends when it reaches zero.

How it's built

The game runs on Phaser 3 with arcade physics, split into separate scenes for the menu, gameplay, HUD, pause and game over screens. There are no image files: every sprite is drawn with shapes when the game boots. It shares its setup with Duck Samurai, which is covered in the Duck Samurai build log.
