How to play Retro Duck Hunt

Play Retro Duck Hunt, a free browser aiming game. Tap or click flying targets, watch your remaining shots and try to improve your round score.

Phone and tablet controls

Tap directly on the target to shoot. Accurate direct aiming works better here than a directional pad or a separate fire button.

Desktop controls

Move your pointer to aim and click to shoot.

A useful first strategy

Lead a moving target slightly and watch your remaining shots. A brief pause to line up the next target can be better than repeated hurried taps.
