A physics puzzle on a glowing night pond. You can never touch the lanterns — only the water. 100 handcrafted levels, a zen sandbox, and an endless deep. Touch only the water. Ripplet is a physics puzzle set on a glowing night pond. Paper lanterns drift on the surface, each one longing for the lotus of its color — and you can never touch them. Your only power is the water itself: tap it, and a ripple spreads out and carries everything it passes. From that single touch, a whole language grows. Nothing is ever explained with a manual — the pond teaches you. A GAME OF GENTLE DISCOVERY • Tap the water and the ripple pushes whatever it crosses • Press and hold to charge a bigger wave • Rocks cast wave shadows — the water behind them stays still • The shore answers back: ripples echo off the walls, and you can press the shoreline itself • Two fingers, two waves — and two crests striking together hit as one • Stone lanterns ignore a lone ripple; glass blossoms shatter in rough water • Whirlpools keep what they catch, geysers breathe on their own rhythm, ice carries a lantern like a curling stone, currents remember where they're going • Drift stones float free and block waves wherever they sit — or feed one to the deep and still it • Moongates, sandbars, embers, and ponds so dark your ripples are the only light 100 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS Ten chapters, each with its own new idea. Some levels want precision, some want patience, and a few play themselves entirely — if you're wise enough to never touch the water at all. A LIVING POND Real animated water, bloom-lit lanterns, fireflies, falling petals, koi gliding beneath the surface, auroras, shooting stars. Eight pond themes and nine lantern skins to earn with stars — including one pond and one lantern reserved for a perfect game. ZEN POND A quiet sandbox with no goals and no way to fail. Every mechanic in the game on a simple toggle — build the pond you want, push things around, watch the water, stay as long as you like. ENDLESS Finish the story and the pond keeps going: procedurally generated puzzles that ramp forever, with their own endless stars to collect. CALM BY DESIGN • A soundtrack of gentle instrumental music (by Eric Matyas, soundimage.org) — or swap all of it for the pond's own wave ambience • Soft haptics, no timers, no lives, no pressure • No ads. No subscriptions. No data collection — nothing ever leaves your device FAIR AND SIMPLE Chapter 1 is completely free. If the pond pulls you in, one $1.99 purchase unlocks everything else — every chapter, Endless mode, forever, across your devices. The pond is waiting. Touch the water.
