Yep, that’s a shot of gameplay! Hey, it’s supposed to be minimalist.

you may download the intense thrills of Still Pond: stillpond.zip (2MB)

It is for windows and includes source code.  Developed using PTK, and I think I did things in the semi-proper way, shouldn’t be too tough to recompile for Mac.  There are two exes, a windowed and a fullscreen, but on my computer the fullscreen one constantly minimizes itself, which is beyond annoying. I consider the windowed version official, but if the fullscreen one works for you, it is better for the gameplay.

Unfortunately, I can’t share much info on this game, as part of the minimalist nature of it is the lack of information you are supposed to have going into it.  That’s a big shame because it means I can’t share the most fun bits.  But anyway, it works so far!  I’ve got a leaf, see, and it falls on a still pond.  Working as advertised.  Pretty cool.  It also reflects.  I’m going to totally lose the journal contest, but it’s worth it – I don’t want to give away the surprises!
