Hi, welcome to the Ripple: Beach Ball Puzzle testing family

Press the water. Ride the wave. Merge the beach balls! Welcome aboard, sailor! The sea is full of beach balls, curious creatures, hidden islands, and all sorts of watery surprises. Your job is simple: make a ripple, send the balls swimming, and bring matching ones together. Press and hold the water to make a ripple grow. The longer you hold, the bigger and stronger your wake becomes. When matching beach balls bump into each other, POP! They merge into a bigger ball and keep sailing along with their momentum. Sometimes one clever ripple is all it takes to start a wonderful chain reaction. Can you merge them all? SET SAIL! Join Ella the Otter on a grand voyage across a magical sea. Island by island, you'll follow a dotted trail across a living map, discovering many hand-crafted puzzles, each with its own special place to explore. Start with sunny little beaches and sleepy coves. Before long, you'll be sailing past volcanoes, icebergs, jungles, and mysterious islands, where the sea becomes much more mischievous! WATCH OUT: THE SEA IS ALIVE! The farther you sail, the more creatures and surprises you'll discover. Friendly frogs might get in the way. Fish can swim through your plans. Currents carry balls where they please. Kelp tangles things up. Whirlpools suck everything toward them. And then there are mines, lightning storms, nets, geysers, eels, and crocodiles... Oh, watch out, I think I saw a Kraken. Ella says they're probably friendly. Probably. LOOK UP: THE SKY HAS OPINIONS TOO! Every board rolls its own weather, and it can change while you're playing — so the same island never feels quite the same twice. SUN — Flat calm. The water behaves exactly as you expect. RAIN — Heavy water. Shots fall short of where they would in the sun. SNOW — Cold and slick. Balls run on further than they should. WIND — Gusts cross the board in patches. Watch where the water streaks before you commit. Weather changes the water, never the rules. It will not break a ball, nor will it shove one onto a mine. ELLA'S MAGIC TRAY When the sea gets tricky, Ella has a few tricks tucked away in her boat. +1 RIPPLE Need another splash? No problem! SLIDE Pick up a beach ball and put it somewhere more helpful. JET Squeeze a ripple into a narrow beam. Aim it, and shove a whole line of balls the same way — perfect for gathering what a wide splash would scatter. BLAST Kaboom! Clear a mine without losing a ball. SHOO! Give a pesky frog a little push in the right direction. Complete special missions on each island to earn more goodies for Ella's tray. OH NO! A FRIEND NEEDS YOUR HELP! Along the way, you'll spot SOS rafts bobbing in the water. These are special little detours where you'll get to help rescue Ella's friends from all sorts of watery trouble. Meet Seb the Lobster, Grace the Seahorse, Juno the Frog and lots of other friends waiting to be rescued. Every rescue brings a reward, and once you've met a friend, they'll join your Friend Album. And don't worry. You can sail back and play the rescue adventures again whenever you like! A LITTLE SEA. A BIG ADVENTURE. Ripple is made especially for iPhone, with simple controls that anyone can pick up and play. No accounts. No complicated menus. No clutter. Just water, waves, wonderful characters, and lots of beach balls. So take a deep breath... Press the water. Ride the wave. And see where it takes you.
