a more complicated pond with an underwater cave area which makes swimming about more difficult. The pond continues to 'evolve', first with the appearance of the player's first frog. This sits on a log and can be used to eat the passing dragonflies. It also acts as an extra life as if all three tadpoles are lost, the frog will reproduce before leaving with its mate for a different colony. The player must create another frog before the pond can continue to 'evolve'. Further 'evolutions' include the water spider (which can trap the tadpole with its web line) and water fleas which can eat they player's spawn (spare lives). Colony 3 adds bumble bees which have apparently been affected by the radiation so attack the player's frog (in the only real exception to the true to life use of the rest of the creatures in the game). The player can now build up a colony of frogs.
