How to play
A simple guide to Pond Paddle
Steer a growing boat trail around the pond to collect eight lily blossoms.
Rules for this version
- Use the direction buttons or arrow keys / WASD to paddle. Step-by-step moves once per action.
- Collect the blossom to grow your trail. You cannot reverse directly into yourself.
- Gather eight blossoms. Gentle edges wrap around; other paces have banks. A bump pauses so you can regroup and keep your blossoms.
Comfort and accessibility
- Step-by-step is the default: nothing moves until you act. Flow is optional and can be paused.
- Large labeled controls work with touch and keyboard. P or Escape pauses.
- Leaving the tab pauses the round. Progress is stored on this device and restores waiting for you.
