Gameplay
Super Rub 'a' Dub stars the yellow duck from the Ducks demo for the PlayStation 3 that was shown at E3 2005 and 2006. Using the motion-sensing functions of a SIXAXIS or DualShock 3 controller, the player tilts a bathtub filled with water to move a rubber duck around the tub. There are many obstacles to avoid, such as falling out of the tub, and toy sharks which will try to eat the smaller ducks. Online leaderboards track users' fastest times, and allow users to see the replays of those fastest times. The game has three difficulty settings: "Fun", "Tricky", and "Tough". Each of the difficulty settings have 20 levels that the player is required to complete in order to proceed to the next difficulty.
In August 2008, version update 3.00 was released. This update added 9 additional ducks to unlock, monthly leaderboards, and an online store.
