Placid Plastic Duck Simulator is a unique experiment in relaxation. Watch a peaceful pool as various rubber ducks drop in. Each duck has its own personality, material, and special actions. There are no goals, no stress—just the soothing sound of water and the company of your plastic friends.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Placid Plastic Duck Simulator is a rare gem that understands the true meaning of 'zen.' In a market saturated with high-stress microtransactions, this game offers a profound counter-narrative: doing absolutely nothing. As an expert in simulation games, I find the physics engine surprisingly delightful; the way the ducks bob and interact with each other in the water is hypnotic. It’s not just a game; it’s a living screensaver that rewards patience with tiny, whimsical moments of emergent storytelling.
The real magic lies in the discovery. Every time a new duck drops into the pool—whether it's the sleek metallic one, the glowing neon variant, or the one that's literally on fire—it feels like a legitimate event. The sound design of the lapping water and distant birds creates a perfect atmosphere for meditation or a low-fi study companion. It is the ultimate 'digital toy' for adults who need a mental reset.

As time passes, more unique ducks will fall into the pool. Try to collect all of them, from the flaming duck to the radio duck.

Q&A
The game is an 'idle' experience intended for relaxation and observation rather than active play.

🦆 Perfect Travel Distraction! Just Needs Auto Save ✈️🙏
Mon Aug 04 2025 TibbinovaThis dropped just in time for our plane ride, and wow—what a lifesaver. I don’t like flying, but Placid Plastic Duck Simulator was the perfect distraction. Thank you so much! 💙 One small improvement I’d love: auto-save. 🙏 Maybe make it a settings toggle for those who don’t want it. Keep the current save slots, but once you’ve manually saved a pool, it could auto-save whenever a duck spawns again. That would be a game-changer. 🛟 Really hoping multiplayer comes to iPad too—maybe once all the pools support it on PC? That would make this game even more fun to share. 🫶🫂
A nice, relaxing game
Fri Jan 02 2026 NfeyvfI enjoy watching all the different ducks float around the pool while getting to name them all. The little interactions some of the ducks have are neat and the different sounds some of them have are cute. I also love the little secrets around the maps or with some ducks that add even more charm to the game. I do hope the other dlcs from the steam version make it into the mobile version eventually. Unfortunately I do have to take a star off as while I was in the collection menu to rename a new duck, I got a message and swapped out of the app to reply to them and when I returned to the app I couldn’t exit the collection menu even though I could still name my ducks and change what page of the collection menu I was on. So I had to fully exit out of the game which unfortunately made me lose some ducks on that map as I hadn’t saved in a while.
Ducks!
Sat Sep 13 2025 ContentOpossumI originally bought it on steam, even though I only had a Mac and would not be able to play it until I eventually got a computer that could run windows, or they ported it to Mac OS. Then today I saw that it was on the App Store and I knew my prayers had been answered, even if not in the way I had originally hoped, but I’ll take it for that sweet rush of Placid Plastic Ducks.
Relaxation at its finest
Wed Jul 23 2025 This guy monkeyExpensive for just plastic duck sitting, sure, but it’s a really relaxing and chill game to collect over hundreds of ducks and watch them all float in the same pool (unless you buy DLC) and some of them even do cool stuff, like a firefighter duck spraying water! This game is really calming and amazing, would recommend to most everyone
Finally, I’ve been waiting to play this on the go

Wed Nov 12 2025 SleepyDoclingI like how relaxing this game is to just watch ducks but I wish I could connect my twitch to this game so I wouldn’t have to manually rename each duck like the steam one can
