Cursor Duck 1.6.0 — Music dance & wardrobe
What's new in 1.6.0
✨ New
- Music & video — when a video or audio track with sound plays on the page (embedded players included), she dances along in rounds with little breathers, the ducklings bob to the beat, and a sleeping duck wakes up for the first beat. Pause the player and she stops. Muted autoplay videos don't count.
- Wardrobe — 14 hats and 5 pairs of glasses can be put on any model: top hat, crown, halo, ninja mask, sunglasses, monocle … Each piece is unlocked by an achievement (the lock tells you which one); the popup previews every piece on your current duck.
- 59 achievements in four tiers — 24 new badges from bronze through silver and gold to diamond, including three for the Tycoon Duck's gold bath. Tiles are tier-colored and the header counts what you've collected.
- Distance to cursor — new slider so she keeps more distance and never sits on the text you're reading; she still pecks, then backs off again.
🐛 Fixed
- Pause on this site didn't stick: switching tabs and back revived the duck. Fixed, and an entry like
example.comnow also coverswww.and every subdomain. - Alt+Shift+N (next model) skipped the Tycoon Duck.
🎨 Improved
- Editable list of paused sites in the popup (add by typing a domain or pasting a URL, remove with ×).
- Every popup section collapses with a click on its heading; the state is remembered. The checkbox block got its own "Behaviour" heading.
- Update page showcases the dance and the gold dive.
- Smoother on busy pages: the overlay no longer forces page layouts (ResizeObserver instead of polling), its resolution is capped on very large displays, and it is paint-isolated from the page.
