The River Doesn't Care About Your Friendship

What's Waiting Downstream

1

Paddle Together or Sink Alone

Everyone on the raft controls their own paddle. Stay in sync and you ride the current. Paddle the wrong way at the wrong moment and you're spinning straight into a log, a crocodile, or worse.

2

Your Path, Your Choice

The river splits and you have a few seconds to pick a side. Left might be a clear route. It might also be a hippo. Branching routes mean no two runs play out the same way.

Fix It Fast

Rocks hit your raft. Crocs hit your raft. Your partner's steering hits your raft. Grab the wood floating downstream and patch things up before it falls apart under your feet.

Wild Encounters

Every biome is hand-crafted with its own hazards and its own wildlife. Crocodiles, hippos and a few other surprises are waiting for you, and none of them are friendly.

5

Built for Chaos

Made for friends, streamers and anyone who enjoys blaming their teammates. You'll come out of every run with a story like "remember when you paddled us straight into the hippo?"
