Get help with Pondlily, the lily-pad puzzle.
Pondlily is an iOS and Android puzzle: tap the water to grow lily pads, then press Hop and the frog crosses the chain of pads to its lotus. It has 100 ponds in ten glowing worlds, a Daily Pond with a streak, an Endless Drift, a Pond Journal of 40 collectible pond-life cards you unlock with free dewdrops earned by playing, is free to play with ads, has no accounts, and works offline. Questions? Write to bpupadhyaya@equalinformation.com.
Yes. Pondlily is free to play, with ads served by Google AdMob: a banner on the menu screens and below the pond, and a full-screen ad after some completed ponds. You can earn ad-free play each month by watching short videos, or go ad-free every month with an optional monthly subscription.
Tap water to grow a lily pad (each uses a seed; deep water costs two seeds). Tap one of your pads to lift it and get the seeds back. Pads link when they sit in a row or column within the pond’s hop range (range 2 lets the frog leap over a rock or a gap). Press Hop and the frog follows the chain toward the lotus; if the chain is broken it hops as far as it can and returns, and nothing is lost. Plant no more than par for three stars. There are no timers and no lives.
Open Ad-free from the menu and watch short rewarded videos. A progress bar shows how many videos you have watched this month and the date it resets. Reaching the goal turns ads off until that date. Watching is always your choice.
Ad-free Monthly is US$2.99 per month (local price shown in the store). It renews automatically every month until you cancel, and it removes ads for as long as it is active.
