Tadpole's Pond

Explore, learn and survive, but be cautious, lest you become food. Tadpole’s Pond is a 2D adventure-survival game (all directions), where you explore a beautiful but deadly pond as a tadpole in your quest of surviving and growing up.


Gameplay

As a tadpole, you must go out into the world and start eating, so you can start your metamorphosis. Once you fill up your food bar, go back to the turtle shell and go to the save leaf to go to sleep. Try to survive by hiding from bigger predators and grow up by consuming smaller prey.  

This is a game that is still in the prototyping phase, so there will be bugs and a whole lot of unfinished content.
