About
Fly a jet up a winding river with one thumb. Shoot the boats, helicopters and jets in your way, blow up the bridges, and fly over the fuel depots before your tank runs dry. The classic river shooter of the early home consoles, rebuilt for iPhone and iPad.
ONE THUMB
• Drag left and right to steer, up and down to change speed.
• You fire while your finger is on the screen; lift it to hold fire.
FLY FAST, SCORE BIG
• The faster you fly, the more every hit is worth: up to ×3.
• Shoot or skim every enemy in your channel to grow a chain and lift the multiplier as high as ×5.
• Close calls with enemies and the riverbank pay extra.
READ THE RIVER
• Islands split the river: the narrow channel holds fuel or a star, the wide one the enemies.
• Canyons wind between rock walls, with stars to collect.
• Gunboats and bank turrets fire back. Drawbridges open and close: time them by their lights.
POWER-UPS
• Shoot down a supply helicopter and fly through its crate: spread shot, homing missiles or a shield.
THREE WORLDS AND THEIR GUARDIANS
• Every fifteenth bridge is guarded: an armoured gunboat, a heavy helicopter, a dam with three guns. Beat it and win a life back.
• Fly from the green valley into the arctic, where ice floes drift downstream, then into the desert, where hovercraft come in over the sand.
TWO LOOKS, SWITCH ANY TIME
• Natural: a realistic river with moving water, real-looking land and vehicles.
• Low-poly: a faceted toy diorama.
• Switch from the gear on the menu, or mid-run from the pause screen.
MADE TO FEEL GOOD
• Up to 120 Hz on ProMotion iPhones and iPads.
• Sound effects and adaptive music made by the game itself, following your speed, the world and the guardians.
• Haptic feedback for hits, bridges, close calls and power-ups.
• The same river every run: learn it, then beat your best.
CLIMB THE LEADERBOARDS
• Three Game Center leaderboards: best score, best this week and furthest bridge.
• Twelve achievements, from Bridge Breaker to Dam Buster.
• The Hall of Fame in the game shows where you stand among everyone and among your friends.
• Optional: without signing in, the game plays just the same.
NO STRINGS ATTACHED
• No ads, no in-app purchases, no account, no tracking. Plays offline.
• In English, Turkish, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese.
