About Rapid River Rumble
Rapid River Rumble is a pixel-art endless runner about a lazy inner tubing trip with your animal buddies, where a calm afternoon on the water can go badly wrong.
You steer your tube along a side-scrolling river with W, A, S and D and jump with Space. Points build up as you ride, and moving forward doubles what you earn, so the best runs come from pushing ahead instead of hanging back. If you end up in the water, your friends toss you back onto your tube.
It's a game jam entry built around the idea that nothing could possibly go wrong, which is why the setup is so innocent. The crew is a bunch of cute pixel animals, including a fox, a raccoon and a black cat, each bobbing along in a dark tube on bright blue water, and a high score table on the title screen gives you numbers to chase. You can play Rapid River Rumble online here with a keyboard.

What to Expect in Rapid River Rumble
Expect short, scrappy runs with a silly streak. Rapid River Rumble looks gentle, all soft pixel water and friendly animal faces, but it's an endless runner with a survival streak, and the river is out to spoil your day.
The scoring rewards nerve. Staying back feels safer, but moving forward doubles your gains, so every run turns into a choice between playing it safe and chasing a bigger number. Going under does not end things on the spot, since your friends haul you back to your tube, which keeps the mood light.
Tips for Rapid River Rumble
