A pink axolotl. Two lily-pad drums. One moonlit pond waiting for a band.

Every key you press plays a real note, and hits that land on the beat earn more ripples. Spend them to hire a band of pond critters. Each one earns while you're idle and adds its own part to a live song, so the music grows as you do.

🐢 Meet the band

  • Old Tortoise on kick drum
  • Snail Sisters on hi-hats (tiny cymbals, big attitude)
  • Bullfrog Barry on bass
  • Heron Keys on chord stabs
  • Firefly Choir on shakers
  • Night Owl on lead melody

✨ What's in the pond

  • Timing that matters: Perfect and Good hits build combos that multiply every ripple
  • Fever: chain enough perfects and the sky turns magenta for triple ripples
  • Requests: the pond's regulars ask for favours and pay well
  • Hats: from a lily crown to a wizard cap, each one boosts your earnings
  • Moonrise: start over in a new key at a faster tempo, with permanent moonstone bonuses
  • Idle-friendly: the band keeps playing and earning while you're away

Controls

  • Phone or tablet: tap the pond
