KoiEscape: 鯉のにげみち

An ink-and-washi pond full of koi. Tap a koi and it swims straight out the way its head points — unless another koi or a stone is in the way, then it bumps.

HERDS
Koi facing the same way, side by side, are a herd. Tap one and every herd-mate with a clear way out leaves with it. Blocked koi stay behind, so free the blockers first and send the whole herd in one tap. Which koi belong together? Read their direction and position — that is part of the puzzle.

FEWEST TAPS, MOST STARS
Every pond has a tap limit. Clear it in the fewest taps for three stars. A bump costs a heart and a tap.

500 PONDS
From small starter ponds to wide ones dotted with stones, each asks you to plan a little further ahead. Every tenth pond is a Hard pond.

GROW A JAPANESE GARDEN
Spend your stars on lanterns, torii gates, bridges and more across five gardens: Kyoto, Kanazawa, Nara, Okinawa and Fuji. Finish a garden and the pond moves on to the next season.

SOUND AND FEEL
Koto notes, wind chimes, splashes and gentle haptics.

Stuck? Hint, Net and +Heart boosters are there to help.
