THE POND · RACE 001 · SUBJECT: S. FROG · MOVEMENT: DELIBERATE

The Slowest Race

Everyone in the pond is in a hurry. That is how they end up in the water. Hop only when the next pad is steady. The dragonfly will tell you to hurry. The dragonfly is always wrong.

The pond waits for you. It is good at that.

HOW THE POND WORKS

Each lily pad drifts in and out of reach on its own slow rhythm. A hop lands only while the next pad is steady.
Hop at the wrong moment and you splash: back one pad. The heron's shadow is worse: back two.
The dragonfly shouts HURRY exactly when hurrying is a bad idea. Let it shout.
On a reed pad (purple ring), sit perfectly still for a while and a slow current carries you two pads on. Doing nothing is a move.
The timer is honest: it counts only racing time, never paused time. Pause whenever you like (button, P or Esc, or by leaving the tab).
The daily pond is the same for everyone today. Your personal best stays on this device.
