About This Game

Brave the River. Save Lives.

Take the helm of a rescue boat, navigate a river packed with danger, and save everyone stranded in the current.

River Rescue is a top-down 2D arcade action game about fighting the flow of the river. Steer left and right, accelerate when the moment is right, and find a safe route to the goal.

Read the River and React

Dodge rocks, logs, and barrels, escape fuel-draining rapids, and outmaneuver hostile boats blocking your path. Rush ahead and you risk a collision; hesitate for too long and the current will push you back. Watch your fuel, read the hazards, and choose your line in an instant.

Chain Rescues and Chase High Scores

Rescue stranded people in order to build a rescue streak and earn bigger score bonuses. Conquer five courses, save more people, travel farther, and leave your name on the high-score table.

Build Your Own River with the Course Editor

Use the built-in Course Editor to place rocks, logs, stranded people, hostile boats, barrels, and rapids. Drag objects into position, set a goal distance from 100 to 1,000 meters, and save your custom courses. Register up to 32 courses in the stage list and arrange them in any order.
