🌊 Tide Pool

🌊 How to Play Tide Pool

Welcome to a tide pool ecosystem puzzle! Your goal is to place sea creatures on the grid and advance turns to build a stable, balanced ecosystem that meets the level's population targets.

How it works:

• Select a creature from the palette, then click empty cells to place it
• Click Advance Turn to simulate one tidal cycle
• Each turn, creatures eat, grow, reproduce, and may die from starvation or old age
• Meet all population targets within the turn limit to win

Tips:

• Producers (Kelp) need sunlight and grow each turn — they're the foundation
• Consumers need to eat prey each turn or they starve
• Overcrowding reduces reproduction — balance your populations
• Use Erase mode to remove creatures
• Each creature has a lifespan — they die of old age eventually
