Tap the pond. Ripples do the rest. PondPulse is a relaxing one-finger puzzle game built on a single rule: every splash pushes every floater one step away from it. 450 levels grow out of that one idea. HOW IT WORKS Tap open water to make a splash. Every duckling drifts one step away from where you tapped. Rocks, turtles, current arrows and colour-matched pads get in the way. Bring every duckling to a lily pad before the splashes run out - and once a duckling is home, it is home for good. A logic puzzle you win by reading the board, not by tapping fast. 450 LEVELS Nine packs, from calm to genuinely hard, three stars each, and every level machine-verified to have a real solution. The first five teach you the rule and cannot be lost. MORE THAN THE CAMPAIGN โ€ข 30 golden ponds - no splash limit, and every one hands over a prize โ€ข A daily puzzle with a streak that pays, three quests each morning, and 70 milestones to climb โ€ข Splash Rush - random boards against the clock, in three lengths โ€ข A pond of your own to decorate: water, shore, sky, 30 decorations, and four little games COLLECT 73 POND FRIENDS Koi, penguins, flamingos, axolotls, otters and more swim in place of your ducklings, on any of 30 lily pads, under 14 themes that repaint the whole game. Coins are earned by playing - there is no energy bar and nothing that expires. NEVER STUCK FOR LONG Undo is free, forever, one splash at a time. A hint lights up the next move and only ever costs you once per level. PLAYS OFFLINE, IN 16 LANGUAGES A free offline puzzle game - no wifi needed to play. English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish and Chinese, right-to-left ready. 300 levels, the daily puzzle, the quests and your own pond cost nothing. Optional one-time purchases open the last 150 levels and add a few extras - each bought once and kept forever, none of it needed to finish the game. Tap the pond. See where the ripples take you.
