Why we picked this?

Duck Bumps is delightful chaos. Take control of one of the four colorful ducks on the screen and try to bump the others to score points. A bump on the head will cause a duck to turn into bits, and those bits can still result in other ducks getting bumped out. The first player to 10 points wins. The game can be played with up to four players on the same device. It also includes seven levels and random modifiers to mix up the gameplay.

You enjoy playing games with friends. The local multiplayer here is fantastic.

You don't have anyone to play with locally.
