More about this game
Your goal is to ride a log down a river and reach the finish line without falling off. The log moves forward automatically, but it constantly tilts left and right. You must tap the sides of the screen to keep the balance pointer in the green zone. If the pointer stays in the red zone for 0.8 seconds, you fall and the run ends. Hitting rocks or whirlpools will throw off your balance, while staying in the green zone increases your speed and builds a stability streak.
Tips
- Tap quickly and repeatedly to correct your balance, as each tap applies a 0.19 correction strength.
- Stay in the green zone to build your stability streak and increase your river speed.
- Watch out for whirlpools, which pull you off balance as you get closer.
Questions
How do I go faster?
You move faster when the balance pointer is in the green safe zone. If you drift into the danger or red zones, your speed decreases significantly.
What happens if I hit a rock?
Hitting a rock will kick your balance to one side by 0.42, forcing you to quickly tap the opposite direction to recover.
How many levels are there?
There are three levels: Calm River, Rocky Gorge, and Whirlpool Rapids, each with increasing balance drift and obstacles.
