Capybara Onsen

The old keeper wants his bath back, and the capybaras are not listening. Tap one and it swims straight ahead and climbs out, if nothing is in its way. Get everybody out of the pool.

That is the whole rule. What grows is the reading: a capybara with something in its way shuffles up to it and stays, so every tap changes the pool. Pups take one square, capybaras two, and a family of three swims as one. Walls close off the rim, the bath auntie slaps anyone who reaches her stone so they turn right, sleepers wait for the bells, twins go both ways at once.

999 LEVELS
Every level is dealt by a solver at the desk and checked before it ships: solvable, with room to shuffle, and never a dead end that you could not have seen. The difficulty climbs slowly, with easier levels dropped in as breathers.

THE POOL
Between levels the capybaras rest in the onsen, doing nothing in particular. Drag them about, sit one under the bamboo spout, drag a yuzu onto a head. Drop one nearby and somebody might dive for it.

THE ONSEN SHOP
Clearing a level for the first time pays coins. Spend them on outfits and things for the pool, extra yuzu, or a life.

LIVES
You start with twenty. Losing a level costs one, one comes back every three hours, and every tenth level gives one. One small purchase makes them unlimited.

NO ADS
The first fifty levels are free. The rest of the bath is one purchase, once, for good. No ads, no subscriptions, no account.
