Cursor Duck Autor: IT-Reiser

A little duck paddles across every website, following your mouse pointer —
drawn entirely procedurally, without a single image asset, so she is
pixel-crisp at any size.

WHAT SHE CAN DO
• Follows your cursor with real physics: she turns into her swimming
direction, tilts her body toward her course, leaves a wake, and sprints
when she falls behind.
• Watches your cursor: head and body visibly track your pointer.
• Petting: wiggle the cursor over her → hearts, blushing cheeks, happy quacks.
• Feeding: double-click to toss bread crumbs — she picks them up one by one,
and the ducklings join the feast.
• Fish hunt: every now and then a fish shadow passes by. She chases it —
and doesn't always catch it.
• Visitors: every few minutes a wild duck stops by — quack duet with
hearts included.
• Dancing: wiggle the cursor quickly next to her → she dances.
• Peekaboo: rest the cursor on her → she dives and pops up right next to it.
• Dizziness: circle the cursor around her → she gets woozy.
• Scroll current: scrolling briefly sweeps the duck family along.
• Night mode: after 10 pm she gets sleepy sooner and dreams in little stars.
• Napping, dabbling, diving, preening, bathing, pirouettes and more —
she keeps herself busy, too.
• Up to 6 fluffy ducklings swim behind her in a row.

35 little badges in the popup — from petting fan and "It was THIS big!"
to honorary woodpecker.

SETTINGS
Size, speed, number of ducklings, playfulness, opacity, effects, reflection,
sound (synthesized quacking, off by default) — everything applies instantly.
Individual sites can be paused. Alt+Shift+D toggles the duck.
Fully available in English and German.

PRIVACY
No data collection, no network access, no external dependencies.
The duck lives on its own canvas with pointer-events: none — clicks,
text selection, and page layout remain untouched.

New in 1.5.0:

💰 Tycoon Duck: new model with top hat, monocle and a red tailcoat. When she gets sleepy, a little gold hoard rises from the water — she takes a run-up, dives in headfirst and sleeps buried in her riches while it glitters and clinks. With ducklings around she still tucks them into their nest first.

🔊 Real sounds: quacking, splashing, pecking, popping and coin jingles are now real recordings (public domain, CC0) instead of synthesizer tones — including two real-duck quacks she mixes in for variety. Every model keeps its own pitch, ducklings peep high.

🎚 Volume slider: sound volume is now adjustable in the popup — before it was just on or off.

✨ Polished popup: filled sliders, little section icons, emojis on the trick buttons — and the model name shows its emoji.
