Shallow Pond
Small diver. Big adventure.
Meet Ripples! A tiny water spirit in a diving suit who moves through the world with all the grace of a penguin. At least underwater.
Shallow Pond is a cozy, family-friendly 3D adventure platformer about exploring colorful worlds on land and underwater.
Jump across crumbling ruins, dash through hidden passages and dive into lakes, caves and flooded tunnels. Free lost Water Spirits, collect shells and map pieces, solve light environmental puzzles and help Ripples’ unusual companion, Cat, continue their journey.
Find your flow
Movement is at the heart of Shallow Pond.
Run, jump, double-jump, dash, stomp, swim and dive through compact playground worlds designed to be explored at your own pace. Ripples moves differently on land and underwater, giving each area its own rhythm while keeping exploration smooth, playful and responsive.
Follow the main path or wander off to search for secrets, collectibles and hidden locations.
Water changes everything
Ripples carries water wherever he goes.
Use refillable water abilities to interact with the environment, activate ancient mechanisms and overcome obstacles. Spray water across the world, fill basins, break through barriers and open new paths.
Return to lakes and ponds to refill your water, then decide where and how to use it.
Enemies with room to grow
The strange plant creatures roaming these worlds are not quite what they seem.
Calm them down and they will leave behind tiny Plantlings. Give these seedlings some water and watch them grow into new plants. Sometimes revealing rewards and sometimes becoming part of the environment itself.
Not every encounter has to end badly.
Explore above and below water
Each world combines platforming, exploration and light puzzles across the surface and beneath it.
Swim through underwater caves, discover passages hidden below lakes and return to land to climb through ruins, forests and unfamiliar landscapes. Water levels, environmental mechanisms and Ripples’ expanding abilities gradually change how you move through each location.
