Tadpole

You control a small tadpole navigating through underwater environments. Your main goal is to survive each stage by avoiding various predators, like fish and other creatures, that patrol the waters. You guide the tadpole with your mouse, swimming around obstacles and steering clear of enemies. The game often involves collecting items or perhaps finding a way to progress, though the constant threat of being eaten keeps you moving. The pacing is steady, and the difficulty comes from learning the patterns of the hazards in each area. It feels like a cautious, deliberate swim through a dangerous pond.
