Easy to learn. Hard to master. One rule, endless puzzles.
The Basics
Three moves. That's it.
1
Drag a piece.
Pick any of the three shapes from the tray. Drop it anywhere on the board.
2
Fill a row.
Complete a full row or column and it clears. Coins fly. Score jumps.
3
Don't get stuck.
If none of your tray pieces fit anywhere, the game ends. Plan ahead.
Score Big
Chain clears. Chase combos.
Clear two lines at once? Combo. Three? Bigger combo. Longer chain, bigger score.
•Row + Column in one move = double combo.
•Two rows at once = frog dances, coins fly.
•Streaks keep multiplying until you break the chain.
The Frogs
Two frogs. Both uninvited.
Red Frog
Drops random tiles onto your board. The better you play, the harder it hops.
Purple Frog
Shows up when you're in trouble and clears a few tiles. Rare. Never on schedule.
Turn both frogs off in Settings if you want a quieter pond.
Modes
Solo run. Or two players live.
Solo
Work through the worlds. Each level throws something new at you. Free to start.
Duo · Head to Head
Send a friend a 4-letter code. Race, sabotage, survive. Pond Pass unlocks it.
Quick Tips
Get better, fast.
⭐ Keep the middle open. Corners fill up first.
💡 Look at all 3 tray pieces before placing one.
✨ Set up combos on purpose. One clear = fine. Two = fireworks.
🐸 Frog acting up? Turn commentary off in Settings.
How to Play
Drop tiles. Clear rows. Beat the frog.
Drag pieces onto the board and fill complete rows or columns to clear them. Fill up without clearing and it's game over. Simple idea - brutal in practice.

The Frogs
They're not on your side.
Two frogs show up uninvited during every game. You can't stop them - only survive them.
Red Frog
Drops extra tiles on your board. Gets more aggressive the better you play - consider it a compliment.
Purple Frog
Clears tiles when you're really struggling. A small mercy - don't count on it showing up.
Toggle both frogs and their commentary in ⚙ Settings.
