In Shallow Pond, you play as Ripples, a small diver setting out on a gentle but mysterious journey beyond the pond. Swim like a penguin, bounce through mossy ruins, and uncover a world full of strange creatures, hidden places, and quiet wonder.
Explore vivid, handcrafted levels where land and water blend seamlessly - mini-sandbox environments brimming with secrets to find, buttons to press, and areas to unlock. Glide through currents, leap across gaps, and combine movement skills for satisfying, precise platforming.
As you travel, you’ll unlock water-powered abilities like the Water Dash and Water Stomp - momentum-based tools that consume water and refill when you return to it. These playful powers let you break barriers, reach new places, activate pressure switches, and uncover long-forgotten treasures.
Collect shells, water spirits, and other hidden curiosities along the way. Some open secret levels. Others help you customize Ripples with new looks. And all of them bring you closer to the quiet mystery at the heart of your journey.
Alongside a strange companion, you’ll drift through lush meadows, shimmering caves, and sun-dappled lakes - chasing a feeling, a memory, and maybe something you didn’t know you were missing.
