Over deze demo

Explore a cozy slice of Shallow Pond. Play as Ripples, a small diver who swims through lakes, uncovers secrets, and frees Water Spirits scattered throughout the level.

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.

Use your water spray to interact with the world around you.
Activate mechanisms, grow plants, calm creatures, and discover new paths.

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

A Small World to Explore

Curious Creatures
