## Description

Pocket Ponds is an interactive Zen garden simulator designed for your Chrome browser. Enjoy a fully ad-free koi pond experience where you can feed koi, skim your finger through the water or sand, and even have koi nibble when you hold still.

Create your own tranquil oasis by breeding thousands of koi and fully customizing your pond and patio with decorative elements like wind chimes and sandboxes. Visit other ponds for decorating ideas, and dive into the Mystery Pond to fish for new koi.

- Frequent crashes and glitches, especially around bait shop and patio items.
- Limited updates or ongoing support; perceived as abandoned by developers.
- High in-game currency costs and grind; need many koins/credits to progress.
