Tidepool
Link the dots. No rush.
A calm puzzle about joining dots of one colour and letting the board settle. No clock, no lives. It is still being tuned, so expect rough edges.
How it plays
Four rules, all of them gentle.
- 1
Link a colour
Drag across neighbouring dots of one colour to clear them. New dots drop in from the top.
- 2
Close a loop
Bring the line back onto itself and every dot of that colour leaves the board at once.
- 3
Charge a dot
A chain of five charges a dot with a power. Six or more makes it stronger. Pop it later to set it off.

Mind your moves
Each board has a goal and a number of moves. There is no clock and there are no lives.
The waters
Four waters to wade through.
The board changes its water every three levels, and the boards grow as you go. These four are captured from the game as it runs today.
Sunlit Shallows
Dusk Lagoon
Midnight Trench
Sunken Coral Reef
Web beta
Playable, not finished.
Tidepool runs in a browser today and has no app yet. The levels and their difficulty are still being tuned, so a board may feel too easy or too tight. Your progress is kept in this browser only.
