About this game

Pond Keeper is a tactile pond-tending arcade where you take charge of a tiny wooden duck farm and feed every restless duckling with the swipe of a finger. Drag along the calm surface of the pond to scatter handfuls of crumbs along your trail; ducklings spot the nearest scrap and paddle straight to it.
Each round populates the pond with more ducklings than the last, and the flock grows quicker with every level you conquer, so a steady hand and a smart trajectory matter as much as raw speed. Frogs hop in to spoil the meal — drop a crumb on a frog and you lose a heart, while clusters of dark green algae soak up any feed that lands on them.
The Upgrade Emporium turns banked pondseed into permanent perks: an Auto Tosser mill arm that drips crumbs near the hungriest duckling, a Swift Palm that lays crumbs more densely along your swipe, Pond Vision that widens how far ducklings sense their next snack, and Reinforced Twine for an extra heart per round.
Three Daily Charters refresh every sunrise — feed a steady total of ducklings, finish a round without poisoning a frog, and climb to a deeper pond level in a single playthrough — each banking pondseed when you claim them.
Pond Keeper runs on Flutter, fits any screen size from compact phones to wide tablets in either orientation, and uses calm hand-painted illustrations in a signature blue-and-brown pond farm palette.
