About this game Read the full description

Explore colorful worlds where land meets water. Play as Ripples, a small diver who swims through lakes, uncovers secrets, and frees Water Spirits scattered across the land.

Move Between Land and Water

Swim like a penguin through the water, fast and agile. Dive through lakes, leap onto land, and slip back into the water as you make your way forward.

Water shapes how you move and explore. Ripples can use a water spray to interact with the world around him. Activate mechanisms, grow plants, calm creatures, and solve puzzles.

Jump back into the water to refill your spray and keep exploring.

Treasures to Find

To continue your journey, you must free the Water Spirits trapped throughout each area. Along the way, you'll find plenty of other treasures.

Shells

Collect shells to unlock new suits, helmets, and fun gestures.

Map Pieces

Each level hides a map piece. Find them all in a region to unlock special bonus levels.

Curious Creatures

As you wander through the lands of Shallow Pond, you'll encounter unusual creatures along the way. Many of them were once ordinary plants that have grown wild and out of balance. Confused and restless, they now roam the landscape.

Calm them and return them to their natural form. Once restored, they settle back into the landscape as living plants and continue to grow. Little by little, the land becomes greener as you explore.

Worlds to Explore

Your journey leads through several distinct worlds, each with its own landscapes, creatures, and surprises. From lush lakes and tangled forests to stranger and more challenging places, every world introduces new environments to explore and new plant creatures to encounter.

The further you travel, the more unusual the realm of Shallow Pond becomes.
