## What is Lantern Pond?

You never touch the lantern. You touch the water.

Hold a finger to gather a wave. Let it go. The ripple spreads, and the little
paper lantern drifts across a moonlit pond toward its shrine. That's the whole
game - and nothing else plays like it.

A CALM UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE
• Every sight and sound conjured from pure code — water plops, pentatonic
  chimes, night wind, crickets
• Every wave you make plucks a note; playing well literally sounds like music
• No ads. No timers. No energy. No dark patterns. Ever.
• Even the daily streak is kind - miss a day, and your ritual waits for you

48 LEVELS ACROSS FOUR CHAPTERS
• The Night Pond - stones that block waves, bells that sink gates, whirlpools,
  reeds, currents
• The Frozen Pond - glassy ice where lanterns glide forever, and thin ice that
  cracks under your waves
• The Wild Water - moonpods that bloom into chain reactions, rapids, and a
  hunting heron
• The Deep Night — the water has no floor; everything the pond has taught you,
  at once

ENDLESS ZEN, DAILY RITUAL
• Endless Zen — one pond that never ends; every lantern you bring home grants
  two more waves and the water turns over into a fresh pond. Keep your streak
  alive as the night transforms: starfall, a full moon, an aurora, golden water
• Daily Puzzle — one pond a day, the same for everyone on Earth
• Collect coins, dress your lanterns, climb from Wanderer to Stillwater Sage

Bring every small light home.
