A downloadable game for Windows

Take on the role of a tadpole in a pond full of danger.

Survive against predators.

Eat food to evolve, so that you can escape your watery dwelling.

Controls:

  • Left Arrow: Swish to the left.
  • Right Arrow: Swish to the right.
  • Escape: Pause Game.

Guide:

  • Eat the pulsing green circles to evolve.
  • Evolve 3 times, then go to the edge of the pond to escape.
  • If you are eaten, you will respawn at the base evolution and must start again.

Tips:

  • Alternate direction of swishing to propel the tadpole forwards.
  • Swishing in the same direction continuously will not propel the tadpole.
  • Most of the larger, slightly browner, lily pads will have food appear around them.
  • Be cautious, not every larger lily pad is as they seem.
