Build a path out of the rafts around you, but be careful: one wrong move and you’ll be stranded! Whenever you jump off of a raft, Newton's first and third laws of motion come into play. The raft is forced in the opposite direction, and continues until it hits a wall. You'll have to plan ahead to position every element where you need, to build the enigmatic path to your bananas. You’ll catch on quick, but don’t let the cute graphics fool you—this game features challenges that will test the mental limits of even the best puzzle solvers!
