Otter Together

Otter Together is a cozy logic puzzle built on one lovely fact: real otters hold paws while they sleep so they don't drift apart. Two river otters — Maple in her coral scarf and Pebble in his periwinkle one — float on a twilight pond, and you don't move them directly. You swipe to send a current across the water, and a current pushes everything floating on it. Both otters drift together until the bank, a mossy rock, or each other brings them to a stop. Your job is to land each otter on their own lily bed — side by side, always — so they can reach across the gap and clasp paws for the night.

One input, two outcomes

Because the otters start in different spots, the same current treats them differently: one might glide three cells while the other is already pinned against a rock and doesn't move at all. That's the whole game. Walls aren't obstacles — they're tools. You deliberately park Maple in the reeds so Pebble can drift home alone, then send one last current to reunite them. Every pond has a machine-proven optimal solution, and the par counter shows exactly how close you are to it. Undo is unlimited, instant, and judgment-free, so experimenting never costs you anything.

50 ponds, 5 chapters

• Willow Shallows — learn how one current makes two different moves.
• Reed Maze and Stone Narrows — walls become tools; park-and-fetch patterns emerge.
• Mist Falls and Moonlit Deep — long choreography where every swipe is deliberate.

Earn up to 3 stars per pond by matching par, and chase the Clean Clasp: a par solve with zero undos. When the campaign's done, Open Water serves endless freshly-generated ponds.

The Daily Pond

Once a day, every player in the arcade gets the very same pond. Solve it in as few moves as you can to climb the daily leaderboard and keep your streak alive. Your stars, best solutions, and streaks follow your account wherever you play.

Made to be touched

Otter Together is built for one thumb: swipe anywhere, tap to undo. The otters bob on the water, fireflies drift past, currents whoosh and stones thunk — and when both otters finally settle onto their beds, they turn to face each other, reach out, and hold paws while a little heart-shaped ripple spreads across the pond.
