What does the gameplay in Placid Plastic Duck Simulator look like? In a 3D environment, you watch as rubber ducks float around on the water. This is the only gameplay content in the game. Additionally, you can move the camera, take screenshots, and toggle the in-game music on and off.
In the upper right corner of the screen, there is a duck display; when it is full, a new rubber duck is thrown into the water. The ducks come with different gadgets and designs, such as a propeller hat, a skeleton design, or tiger patterns. You can make the ducks quack by clicking on them.
