My Pond LiTe

Quasi Penguin Software Development & Digital Media

About this game

​Welcome to your very own slice of nature! Designed by a real biologist, My Pond LiTe is a relaxing, retro-styled 8-bit-esque ecosystem simulation where you build, discover, and nurture a thriving aquatic habitat from the ground up.

You begin with a tranquil, empty pond. As time passes, local North American wildlife will naturally begin to visit your screen. Tap to collect these animals and log their hidden details in your trusty Encyclopedia. Once a species is safely in your logs, the real ecosystem building begins! Grab your basket and feed your collected animals to watch your pond truly come to life.

But wait! There is an entire second game hidden just beneath the surface. Feeding your animals drives the biological cycle, cultivating a bustling world of microscopic organisms in the water. Grab your Dropper, peer into the interactive Petri Dish, and collect amoebas, rotifers, and diatoms to help further the world of science!

Whether you want to actively catalog every species or just passively watch a beautiful 8-bit-esque retro nature scene unfold, My Pond LiTe lets you play your way.

GAME FEATURES:

Designed by a Biologist
Created by a solo developer with a B.Sc. in Biological Sciences, the game pairs classic pixel-art charm with authentic, scientifically inspired organisms and microscopic pond life.

Dynamic Ecosystem Decoration
Your pond is shaped by your choices! Every player's pond looks different because the environment reacts to how you play. Feed a specific animal five times, and it will organically build a permanent habitat (a duck nest, a beaver dam, or a patch of lily pads) right on your screen.

Discover & Collect Wildlife
Observe, collect, and feed 10 interactive aquatic and semi-aquatic pond animals. While you manage the water, sit back and watch the broader macroscopic ecosystem at work as idle forest creatures wander peacefully across the background.

Explore the Micro-World
Feeding your pond animals generates microscopic life! Use your Dropper tool to switch to the Petri Dish view to cultivate and harvest 10 unique single-celled and microscopic organisms.

Fund Your Research
Trade your microscopic samples at the Foundation Research Station. Turn in your discoveries to the Lead Scientist to earn Foundation Credits and see how successful your monitoring site can become!
