Our hero. You play as him.
"In Bubberducky, you play as Bubberducky."
In Bubberducky, you play as Bubberducky. Released in 2007 by Sumo Digital, it was praised by critics for its innovative use of the DualShock controller, compelling characters and an intricate and lengthy storyline of twists and turns all centered around one simple premise: Bubberducky must systematically murder row after row of baby ducklings in a blood sacrifice to the demon lord Baal.
However, this is not as easy as it seems. Bubberducky must navigate his way through a series of mind-bending mazes and watch out for Sharks, Bubberducky! You also have a great degree of customization with your ability to choose from over 7 ducks, 15 tubs.
Play as Bubberducky.

Bubberducky contains examples of:
- And Your Reward Is Clothes: Choose from over 7 ducks.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: One tub (pictured above) is in fact not a tub, but rather, an entire city, in which Bubberducky and the Sharks (and, to a lesser extent, the Baby Ducklings) are enlarged considerably. You can even crush the boats and hear the people in them scream in pain as they die.
- Badass Adorable: Bubberducky himself.
- Big Bad: The Sharks, who Bubberducky needs to watch out for.
- Greater-Scope Villain: Demon Lord Baal, who forces(?) Bubberducky to make blood sacrifices of row after row of Baby Duckling.
- Boss-Only Level: The fifteenth and final tub consists of nothing but the arena where Bubberducky must ultimately stop Baal once and for all.
- Eldritch Abomination: Demon Lord Baal.
- Eldritch Location: Most (if not all) of the 15 tubs seem to be located in one of these.
- Expy: Baal bears a striking resemblance to Ernie.
- Good All Along: The sharks.
- Heel–Face Turn: Bubberducky pulls one of these during the Final Boss fight.
- He Who Must Not Be Seen: Baal spends most of the game as The Ghost, and as such we don't get to actually see him until the Final Boss fight.
- Player Character: You play as Bubberducky!
- Villain Protagonist: Bubberducky. He pulls a Heel–Face Turn during the Final Boss, however.
