Yeah. I would take a look at sprite scaling. You can make normal sized sprites and then scale them all the way down when you spawn them, then you can slowly scale them back up to normal size as they come towards the bottom. You can probably make them projectiles and test until you find a random range for the X velocity that doesn’t go off the road. The sprites should also go slightly faster down over time to match the road, and then probably have to scale up fast over time too. I would make my own movement function, one that only does left and right and doesn’t let you go off the road.

Something like this could work. You would have to mess with some values until it looks right and matches the shape of your road:

Duck hunt is not possible with the radio because it is not directional, so there is no way to know if the microbit is pointed at the screen. The OG duck hunt used a light censor in the barrel of the gun combined with a quick flash of the screen when you pulled the trigger to detect if the gun was pointed at the bird!
