About Koi Drift: Zen Koi Puzzle
Each koi swims only the way it faces. Tap a koi whose path is clear and it glides out of the pond, leaving rings on the water. Tap one whose path is blocked and it bumps softly and swims back — no penalty, just a wave. Find the order, release them all and watch the last koi rush out in a shimmering chain.
Every pond you clear helps the river remember: stone lanterns glow again, bridges return, a heron comes back to the shallows. The koi you release join the river on the home screen.
WHAT'S IN THE POND
• 400 ponds across 8 river seasons, each one checked solvable by a solver
• A new river rule every season: lotus gates that open and close with every koi, frogs on lily pads, leaf eddies that turn a koi's path, frozen koi that thaw, turtles that turn instead of bumping, reed currents — and all of them together under the moon
• The Nushi: an ancient giant koi waits at the end of each season. Free it and watch it rise as an ink dragon
• 24 koi varieties to befriend in a hanging-scroll album — Kohaku, Showa, Asagi, Ogon and more
• Morning Pond: a new pond every day. Missed a morning? Catch up within 3 days and keep your streak
• Lantern Festival: the first week of every month, a night pond lit only by floating lanterns
• Long-press any koi to see its path. Undo and restart are always free and unlimited
MADE FOR CALM
• No timers, no lives, no fail screens
• No interstitial or banner ads. The only video is an optional one you choose to watch for a hint
• Plays offline; your progress stays on your device
• Gentle kalimba and koto-style music, water sounds and soft vibration (each can be turned off)
• Playable in 11 languages
FREE AND FAIR
Free: 4 full seasons (200 ponds), the daily Morning Pond, the monthly Lantern Festival and 2 free brush strokes (hints) every day.
Optional one-time purchases: The Sage's Brush gives unlimited hints forever, shows two moves ahead and hides the optional videos. Each season pack adds 50 ponds, a new rule, a new river and 2 koi — the first pond of every pack can be tried for free. Complete Garden brings the Brush and all four season packs together.
A relaxing brain teaser for anyone who loves koi ponds, Japanese gardens and quiet logic puzzles.

What’s new
Version 1.1.1 · Updated October 14, 2026
Koi Drift 1.1.1 • Fixed: on some phones the water turned dark after tapping a koi. • The Sage's Brush now shows two moves ahead, and your hint stays on the water until you use it. • New: Complete Garden — the Brush and all four paid seasons together. • Try the first pond of Winter, Plum, Flood and Moon after 30 ponds. • Locked seasons show what opens them; purchases restore by themselves on a new phone. • Morning Pond streaks are fair from day one; many small fixes.
