OtterSlide

A 3D river adventure. Swim, jump and dive after a friend who is always one bend ahead.

Swim. Jump. Dive.

Your otter floats on his back, head downstream, his favourite stone held to his chest. Steer left and right, read the river, and see how far the current carries you.

The river is right here.

Left you jump. Right you dive.

After the first bends a long island splits the river in two. Where you are when it comes decides how you play the next stretch.

Both arms flow back into the main river. Then comes the next fork.

Forest path

He rolls onto his belly and runs. Logs across the trail mean jump, and a beaver lodge squeezes you to one side.

Deep water

He dives and swims the riverbed. Steer round rocks, dive deeper under curtains of kelp, find the gap in the rock ribs.

One more run.

  1. Flow

    Every fifth passage without a hit raises your flow multiplier. Close misses pay extra flowers.

  2. Flow rush

    Spend 30 flowers on six seconds of rush: faster water, double flowers.

  3. Shell shield

    A rare shell guards you against the next ordinary hit for twelve seconds.

  4. The stone

    Now and then he tosses his stone into the air. Catch it for a flower bonus.

  5. Run goals

    Four rotating goals: passages, flowers, a special passage, and catching the otter ahead. Each one pays out at once.

He never says a word.

Close-up of the otter on his back in swirling turquoise water, holding his stone with both paws and smiling.

He floats on his back, head first, paws paddling in turns, and holds on to his favourite stone the whole way down. He blinks, his tail waves, he breathes. You read him at a glance, and you want to make him proud.

Made by Jonas in Munich, with a river melody written for the game in code. No account, no timers, no waiting.
