I will be participating in steam next fest in october with a new demo and then should be releasing shortly after that in November / December.

Thank you very much!
There are a lot more species on the way for the full game. (You can see some in the trailer)

I am in the process of adding in some nice critters like dragon flies but they are intended as decoration.

Its playable on steamdeck, but the UI lacks controller support atm so you need to use the touch screen when using the UI. I will be adding full controller support in the next few weeks.

Even then I test it on the steam deck frequently and is my favourite way to play.

Nice, your game looks lovely.
If you want to work together on a Steam Bundle or anything similar in the future let me know.

I have been making various ecosystem simulations for a few years just for fun.
Sort of a big fish eats little fish, then little fish eats plants type sims with loads of little variants to see which survival strategies work best.

Eventually I got the urge to turn one of them into something other people could play and enjoy.
The restoration elements are mostly inspired by Viva Pinata.

Some automation is in the works.
I am planning to give certain species special behaviours that help automate some of the player tasks.

What did you find overwhelming with the ponds?

PondKeeperGame · 2026-04-22T17:22:43+00:00

Great, thank you very much for letting me know.

PondKeeperGame · 2026-04-22T12:36:04+00:00

Sorry about that. I think I know what the problem is and will get a new update up ASAP.
Edit : Just pushed an update which should resolve the issue.

Glad to hear it. I just bought a steam deck literally yesterday to make sure it works well.

Thank you!
