The creek runs at you from the top of the screen. Every wall of whitewater is one heartbeat, and there is a gap in it. Slip through.
Tap the water where you want to go and the canoe paddles there. Drag, and it follows your thumb. Let go, and it holds its line. The grips in the bottom corners paddle one side each: hold one for a long stroke, tap it for one stroke. Tap a fork's sign to steer into that mouth.
Top right, three hulls. A rock empties one, and three empty is a capsize. A run of clean crests mends one, and the hull says mending while it fills. Top left, the farthest the pulse has carried you this run, then the crests you cleared, then the forks you read right.
Every gap is fed by a tongue of glassy water. Hold your line in the glass all the way to the drop, and the drop pays you double. The tongue is the PR: a long, deep, streaked chute before every drop is first degree block, the same length every time.
Two thumbs down at once is a brace. In ordinary water it holds you straight. In an arrest it charges a shock, and letting go delivers it.
At the end of a stretch the creek splits into channels, and each channel has a rhythm name on its sign. Steer into the channel named for the rhythm you just ran. There are two signs at first, and three once you have met that rhythm's look-alikes. The wrong channel costs a hull, the same as a rock. A wrong name on its own never sinks the boat. Reach the far bank for the first star; read at least half its forks on the way, more where a fork has only two mouths, and the next pool opens.
A band runs across the top of the water: the same beats, drawn the way a nurse reads them. The green number is the rate on the paper. The amber one is the rate that is actually moving the boat, and the two do not always agree.
Some water cannot be paddled. The current dies, or the channel comes apart, and the answer is your hands: alternating strokes are compressions, a held thumb charges, letting go delivers the shock. Every seven seconds the creek calls a rhythm check. Hands off the chest, and tap the mouth that says what this rhythm needs.
Left and right arrows, or A and D, paddle each side: hold for a long stroke, tap for one. Both at once is a brace. Escape pauses. Everything here is playable without a touchscreen.
