Tidepool
A calm puzzle for a few quiet minutes. There's no timer and no way to lose, just a better or worse tide.

Goal: clear as much of the pool as you can. Tap a group of 2 or more touching creatures of the same kind. Bigger groups score far more. Clear the whole pool for +1000.
How to play
Tap (or use the arrow keys and Enter) on a creature with at least one matching neighbour. Hover or focus to preview the group and its points. A group of n scores (n−1)²: 2 → 1, 5 → 16, 10 → 81. Creatures above sink down, and empty columns drift left. The game ends when no two matching creatures touch: clear everything for +1000, or get up to +250 for nearly clearing it. Undo is unlimited (U), H shows the biggest group, P pauses. Your game is saved on this device.
