Nimmos Pond is a pretty simple game, and easy to master. All it consists of is shooting at various-sized lily pads, making sure not to lose health points or paddle power, and maybe power up a little along the way.
First, your health and paddle power. Simply enough, you lose health points when you hit a lily pad, depending on its size. You lose paddle power when you move around (pressing any arrow key except down). To gain back health, just eat the red bugs (press ‘V’ to get a bug). To gain back paddle power, eat the blue bugs or just stop moving (stop pressing the keys; you can be flying across the screen and still gain paddle power).
