Tide Pool

Tide Pool is a quiet game about ripples.

Tap, hold, or drag on a dark pond. Wherever two ripples cross, the water blooms into light and a soft note. Every note is in the same scale, so whatever you do sounds gentle.

There is no timer, no score, and no way to lose. If you want something to do, there are little things to wake:

• Lotuses: send three ripples across the water to open each one.
• Wish stones: make three ripples from three different spots reach a stone at the same moment to light it.

Wake everything and the pond lights up, then you drift to the next one.

Four ponds

• Night Pond: fireflies and still water.
• Rain Pond: soft rain adds its own ripples.
• Moon Pond: a moon reflection that brightens when the water blooms.
• Koi Pond: koi follow your ripples and leave wakes of their own.

Controls: tap, hold, or drag. On a keyboard, Space drops a ripple and M mutes. Best with sound on or headphones.
